Have you heard about how a thousand odd young Danes are rioting because the city of Copenhagen sold a building?

If you have, you have properly only seen it mentioned in passing. But we here at the Ethereal voice believe that picture is worth a thousand words. So take a gander at the following clips from the riots.

Before we start, let us say that we are trying very hard to be fair. To best of our knowledge, both of the videos that we are showing have been approved by the protesters themselves. We don’t want people to think that we are just trying to smear them. Here is a video showing the Danish protesters taking action against the police….

Please note that Danish protesters were using Molotov cocktails and firecrackers as well as stones throughout the riot. I am not sure how well this comes through on this video. I am not even a hundred percent sure that they were using Molotov Cocktails at this particular event. But if I understand the video rightly, they were using firecrackers.

This next clip was posted by someone sympathetic to the protesters. It purports to show the police using excessive force.

All we can say is that we were not outraged.

In case you think we are taking those videos out of context, here is an “essay” explaining the cause of the conflict in great detail. It is written by a protester.

It you want a different view of the matter, this post from the Gates of Vienna should get you started. And yes, we know the Gates of Vienna is written by a bunch of subhuman extreme right wing conservatives.

Here is another right wing post on the subject.
