Who Owns the Streets?

El Inglés has written about the near inevitability of civil war in Europe, with a particular focus on Denmark. Recent events suggest that the prodromal stage of the coming conflict is already in progress.

The early phase seems to be the violent conflict between Danish Hells Angels and various immigrant gangs. Both the natives and the newcomers are recruiting new members so rapidly that the police are unable to monitor them.

Here’s the latest incident as reported in Politiken. Not surprisingly, it occurred in Nørrebro:

Denmark: Two Police Officers Wounded

Two police officers are reported to have been attacked and wounded in Nørrebro.

According to initial reports, two police officers have been wounded in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen after a man attacked them with a knife and sword.

The condition of the two officers is not yet clear.

First reports speak of the two officers and an adversary having been wounded, with the adversary having been shot.

The Jagtvej road in Copenhagen has been closed off, and politiken.dk understands that the incident took place on Kronborggade street.

The article doesn’t mention the ethnicity of the assailant, but in addition to harboring numerous Autonomer, Nørrebro is notorious for having an abundance of “cultural enrichment”.

Esther at Islam in Europe has compiled a summary of the escalating violence in the Danish gang war:

Denmark: Fear of ethnic riots

With forty shootings and three dead, the gang-war in Copenhagen is causing concerns that it would escalate into ethnic riots.

MS-NBC published a report on the gang wars. Politiken reports on the government’s anti-gang package, which includes deportation of criminal immigrants. The shootings have meanwhile forced the closure of a library, culture center and sports hall on Blågårdsgade (Blågård street), and stopped deliveries by a meal-on-wheels company (see here and here )

In the past, btw, immigrant gang Black Cobras stopped riots, noting that it’s bad for business. Riots brought in the police, who conducted more thorough searches.

Below I’ve summarized several articles on this subject. Big h/t to Snaphanen, who provided me with articles.

Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende reports that Copenhagen is on its way to becoming an American city. A survey of 1,016 residents conducts by Gallup shows that 60% of the residents say that there are places in the city where they wouldn’t go. 48% of the women changed their behavior due to the gang-war.

Copenhagen police spokesperson Flemming Steen Munch says that people have nothing to fear and should just call the police is they see anything unusual.

Ekstra Bladet spoke with two immigrant gang members, who preferred to be called ‘freelance gangsters’. After being frisked and deprived of their cell-phones, the two journalists were driven to a ‘safe place’.

Asked when the war would stop, one gang member answered that it won’t stop, as the lines have been crossed long ago. In the past there was a rule not to shoot women and children, but that’s gone since the bikers now shoot children playing in the street. For any one of ‘theirs’ that the bikers shoot, they’ll shoot two. It’s sad for those who are injured by mistake, he admits, but if they go out to places where the bikers hang out — they put themselves in the line of fire.

Asked what the war was about, he answers that it’s not about drugs or power like the media portrays. They joined the fight because the AK-81s shot innocents and they don’t want a mother crying over her lost son.

It’s not a race-war, they say, it’s only against the bikers. And when asked what the police can do, the freelancer answers that they can do nothing and that soon they’ll shoot the police too. The police helps the bikers. They know that from their own sources in the police. It’s clear that the state is on the biker’s side and the new anti-gang regulations are directed at the immigrants.

They frisk people in Nørrebro only for the sake of their family’s security.

What about dialog or peace talks? The gang-member rejects the idea of sitting with the head of Hell’s Angels and talking over a cup of tea.

In response the police denies that they favor the bikers, and say they come down just as hard on both sides. The police union, meanwhile, wants bullet-proof vests.

Deputy police inspector Lars Nicolai Jensen of the Copenhagen Police fears that the gang wars could escalate into ethnic riots, if people start seeing the gang-wars as race-riots.

The gang war gives the appearance of a battle between ethnic Danes (Hell’s Angels and AK 81) against the immigrants. This could bring people to take sides, and to get caught up in the ‘them vs. us’ atmosphere.

Eline Feldman, of the Copenhagen TaskForce Integration said that both sides have sent out SMS messages to their followers warning that ‘they’re after all black-haired people’ and ‘they will kill all Whites’.

However, Lars Nicolai Jensen says that the gang-wars have not yet got to a point where there’s anger against all White Danes or against all immigrants.

In Blågård School, in Nørrebro, the students feel they’re being judged unfairly. Berlingske Tidende spoke with several 9th graders, who said that just like not all Whites are bikers, not all immigrants are gang-members. Their older brothers are stopped and searched by the police, their parents don’t let go out after dark, and the regular citizens look at them carefully.

Many feel that society is blaming the immigrants for the shootings, even if they themselves oppose the conflict, as can be seen from the government’s plan to deport criminal immigrants. “It’s just a piece of paper. It doesn’t mean tha tone feels Danish. We were born and raised here, this is our home. Both parties should be punished just as harshly,” says one boy, and a girl adds that she feels her life is worth less, since she’s not an ethnic Dane. “It’s more serious when it’s Danes who are shot than when it’s immigrants. So I feel that we don’t mean as much,” says says.

Esther includes several more reports; visit Islam in Europe to read the rest.

Some of the experts cited in her summary do not believe that the situation will escalate to the level of civil war. But the trendlines are ominous, especially when considered within the entire European context, with similar situations developing in the UK, Norway, the Netherlands, and Sweden.

This will not end well.
