[Nicky91]

also i did only say the word ''shoot'' the guns of today you also got non-fatal rubber bullets, they are also very effective to injure and take down rioters

[Parmy]

Nicky...


That doesn't look like a warzone..I cant see any dead children being pulled from rubble.

it felt more like a warzone, also kinda looked like one since there were a lot of cars in flames, they were more rioters, hooligans (some were pegida of course but they mostly had encouraged the rioters to trash the city, and loot supermarkets)

Eindhoven Mayor Jorritsma: The City and I are in tears

:(


Jorritsma had said No to demonstrations the day before but these people didn't listen to his advice

this video is in english
6RlZsLiYwl8

here few video's, i'll quickly translate: what the damage looks like after all rioting, looting

burned out cars, bicycles


this was also non-political act, but more people who acted out of frustration because of the recent curfew regulation, they also filmed themselves while taking everything they could from supermarkets (Jumbo, Albert Heijn)

police used teargas, water cannon (that vehicle had to get its tire fixed, and later on returned and forced the rioters away)


they had set fires near the CS train station, near the philips stadium also few fires

[Nicky91]

after this was over in eindhoven


other cities/towns had their curfew protests, such as The Hague, Twente, Venlo (also fires having been started there)

https://twitter.com/MinPres/status/1353652491443990529

translating: ''Great respect for the mayors, for the police and for the journalists who are trying to report on it. 99% of the Netherlands abides by the measures, including the curfew, because we understand that together we only get the coronavirus underneath.''

words from our PM Rutte whom also said ''violence got nothing to do with fighting for your freedom''

In Eindhoven, golf balls and fireworks were hurled at police in full riot gear, who eventually used tear gas to clear the crowds. Burning bikes were built into barricades. In the eastern city of Enschede, rioters threw rocks at the windows of a hospital.

A Covid-19 testing centre was also set alight on Saturday evening in the northern village of Urk, local authorities said.

"The fire in a screening centre in Urk goes beyond all limits," Health Minister Hugo de Jonge said.

The mayor of Eindhoven has warned the country is heading for civil war; while some feel that may be an exaggeration, the Netherlands is becoming increasingly polarised over this issue.

National Security Council Chairman Hubert Bruls said that, while he understood the protesters' frustrations, the more the Dutch persevered now, the sooner they could get their freedoms back.

Actually many see vaccines as the key, and the Netherlands is lagging behind there - last in the EU to roll out its vaccine programme. To date, 135,000 people have been given their first dose.



yes Jorritsma is a very good mayor, he even heard from one of his friends in San Francisco, US (that this got briefly shown over there too on the news)

[Cherie]

I saw this yesterday and wondered why specifically they would be anti muslim protests, anti lockdown seems more apppropriate for the times were are in..

omg horrific

[Nicky91]

omg horrific

i feel ashamed to live here, with all what's happening

also will they get punished, the worst part, they won't receive jail sentences, probably just community service work or something

[Nicky91]

at riots next time, there will be military force used (with rubber bullets)


age group of rioters is not older than 25, youngest 14


and stupid as they are, they filmed themselves and placed it online, easy for police to recognize them and track them down

the violence has been described as one of the worst in 40 years



The Dutch government has introduced its toughest measures since the start of the pandemic - including a night-time curfew which runs from 21:00 (20:00 GMT) to 04:30. It is the first in the Netherlands since World War Two.

Anyone caught violating it faces a €95 (£84) fine.

The country's bars and restaurants have been shut since October, while schools and non-essential shops closed last month.

Right More Riots Tonight

Your Prime Minister Ruttle
must increase the fines.

[Nicky91]

so?

our government doesn't want to give in to lowlife scum, this curfew is important in our fight against corona

Rotterdam mayor Aboutaleb has spoken towards the rioters today more like ''does it give you a good feeling that you've ruined our city'' ''does it make you feel good waking up next to a bag of stolen stuff from supermarkets'' + he said he would support businesses and help people keep their jobs amid coronacrisis so people don't need to worry

and he showed his appreciation for all efforts by police, in rotterdam there have been 50 people arrested

[Nicky91]

omg, just read there will be riots very very close to where i live tonight :worry:

So who are the rioters who have taken to the streets all over the Netherlands for the past few days, and why are they rioting? Commentators and experts have been trying to attach some meaning to this week’s street violence.

Journalist and Talk show legend
Catherine Keyl, who was present at some of the squatters riots in Amsterdam 40 years ago and made a documentary about Urk, is in no doubt in the Telegraaf. ‘It’s too easy to call these people scum, or say they’re being held back through lack of opportunities, or that they simply don’t hold with authority,’ she wrote.

‘I fear that what we have here is a bunch of spoiled brats who are bored and go on the rampage for kicks. Am I wrong to say that girls were in a minority? In that case there is some hope for the future.’


The Capitol Foreign commentator Bernard Hammelburg said on BNR radio that the riots were ‘not that different’ from what happened at the Capitol in the US. ‘Torching a test facility, demolishing a train station and attacking a hospital is perhaps worse than storming a parliamentary building,’ he said.

‘Anti-corona measures nutjobs are linking arms with anti-corona measures hooligans, he said. ‘These are the types who, at home, in their own environment and even without going on demonstrations don’t give a **** either. I’m pretty sure these are the groups that are largely responsible for the high number of infections. And the curfew that they’re so opposed to.’

Far right In the NRC, political scientist Léonie de Jonge said that although it is not exactly clear who the rioters are and what motivates them, some had clearly been listening to the far right. The PVV and Forum voor Democratie, she said ‘incited the events because they literally called for riots’. She pointed out that the local branch of the PVV on Urk said it ‘would do everything in its power prevent the curfew from taking place place’ and that the FvD had said ‘this is the second night that Rutte imprisons the Netherlands. The FvD will continue to resist’. These incendiary right wing messages for the behaviour of some of the rioters, at the parties front doors, she said.

I am genuinely surprised its taken this long really.

I mean, SAGE predicted back in March that the public would only 'stand for it' for a short period of time. Hence why the system was meant to be sorted for the lifting of it..but nope. Shovel more money to mates and let the situation run wild.

[Nicky91]

rebuilding and cleaning of my city is being done as we speak now, must be done in time before Kings Day 2021 which will be held more at a secret location and coronaproof without visitors, there were talks of it first being cancelled but our King Willem-Alexander insisted on it going through anyway, to help lift morale in the nation again
