The memory of it is superior to the actual experience these days :/

But these rebels are NOT like our normal old brand of danish rebels. These are vandals and terrorists. They are NOT like the bunch of people that created Christiania (which is the "old kinda rebels"). I dont know if they are similar to the paris kiddos, but i'm inclined to agree. Senseless violence very much like terrorism because they dont get their way exactley.

Its just a whole lot of "wah wah wah i cant have what im pointing at"-spoiled brat destroying what they can find. Since my previous post I took off for my sisters apartment so i can actually see them from the window right now.

And its not only the 'autonome', but they are also there yeah. But they always love a fight as long as its against any form of authority.

But you really shouldnt even compare them to our good old danish rebels. Thats nothing more than a straight up insult. For example, at Christiania barricades was set up with banners and all that sorta old-school stuff, in support of the new rebels (even though the people of Christiania do not agree with the new rebels), and those were set on fire by molotov coktails from the vandals.

Anyhow, the situation right now is that the police is intercepting the larger groups on their way to Ungdomshuset, like 500m from it, and that leads to a lot of medium-large battles. The immediate area around Ungdomshuset is in a "permanent" haze of teargas at the moment and is planned to be like that probably until next morning. All police is wearing gas masks.

Representatives of Ungdomshuset claims that there are reinforcements on the way, both national and international, but in a way I think thats more bark than bite really. These representatives generally lie a lot more than politicians.

I think most of it will be over tomorrow morning though, and then there will be some follow-up commotion as they try to take over a few other houses.

But I do love how these dumbass kids have been whining "THERE IS ONLY ONE RESOLUTION TO THIS SITUATION" for ages and the second their base is cleared out, they change their tune to "omg we was soooo close to having a peaceful resolution, if only the politicians had taken us seriously!!!!".

But they dont really have any supporters left except themselves, the rest of Denmark dont really like them and the people that live in the area of the city where the vandals do their vandalism REALLY dont like them (even though that was where they used to have their most die-hard supporters).
