I'm really curious on the ending of all this.
NO MAN THIS SHIT IS STUPID, THERE IS NO LOGICAL JUSTIFICATION FOR ALL OF THIS. THE HOUSE THEY ARE FIGHTING OVER WAS SOLD YEARS AGO BECAUSE THEY WERENT PAYING THEIR RENT AND IT WAS IN TERRIBLE CONDITION. THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN PEACEFULLY TRYING TO HAVE THEM REMOVED FROM IT FOR SEVERAL YEARS NOW AND THE PEOPLE LIVING IN THE HOUSE HAVE REMOVED. THEY DONT OWN IT OR ANYTHING, THEYRE JUST SQUATTERS TAKING SOMETHING THAT DOESNT BELONG TO THEM. NO ONE ON THE INTERNET HAS BEEN ABLE TO ANSWER THIS POINT WITH ANYTHING BESIDES "THE GOVERNMENT SHOULDNT HAVE GONE INTO THE HOUSE". WHILE I RESPECT HAVING THE BALLS TO STAND UP AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT AND "DEMONSTRATE", THIS WHOLE THING IS A BUNCH OF KIDS AMPING THEMSELVES UP AND THINKING THEY ARE FREEDOM FIGHTERS WHEN THEY HAVE NO REAL POINT. THEYRE BURNING THE FUCKIN CITY DOWN AT THIS POINT, THIS IS NOT RESPECTABLE.
please, anyone who has more information on this subject, please explain to me how any of this is justified
and hahahahah@pronay
Have they actually done anything apart from ruck with the police?
Or is this one of those situations where they forget what they're fighting for?
all those people fighting over a house
if they all gave a dollar they could get a new house
Yeah, but most of them don't want a house, they want that house. I support them, in a country like Denmark, which is far developed country, there must be space and support to "different" cultures. The danish government has almost turned into a police-state, when they are going against different sub-cultures. There needs to be a space for sub-cultures. Okay, I'm trying to list some facts, so people can understand the situation better:
- In the late 70's and early 80's, the BZ-culture (autonome and far-left activists) was on a high. They took over alot of abandoned houses in Copenhagen. They got kicked out of each one, but in 1982, "Københavns Kommune" (the city council of Copenhagen) decided to buy Ungdomshuset, and pass the usership to a group called "brugerne af Ungdomshuset" (the users of ungdomshuset).
- In 1996, the house was raged by a fire. Users also discovered that the house was in horrible condition. The council found out about this, and decided to close the house. The users of the house renovated the house on their own, and a year later, the council allowed the youngsters to use it again.
- In 1999, a mistake was made by a handful of people in the council. Without discussing it, they put the house on sale, and a company called Human A/S bought it. Problem is, that the religious sekt, "Faderhuset", had tried to buy the house, but without luck, because the council had decided that it would be a big provocation to the youngsters. Now, Human A/S was very connected to Faderhuset, and a few months later, Human A/S was bought by Faderhuset. Suspicious, eh?
- In 2003, the trial began, and of course Faderhuset won. The house is theirs, and theres no doubt about it. But it is clear that i was a very amoral process.
Point still is, you can't claim something that never was yours to begin with.
Leftwingers should know they can't beat bigwig companies and organisations without fnancial clout, nor a leg to stand on legally. Besides, a house is just a house, all this ruckus over materialism really is against the spirit of their so-called aims. Although if they're anarchists, they just want a fight with the police, and thats what they got.
thank you 4-bar killer, ive been waiting for someone to explain the situation well. I understand it and empathize a little more, but i still i think that what has been going on, the so called "demonstrations", are just people looking to fuck things up and not having any redeeming moral to them.
As I mentioned, it was given to them by the city council as a youth house. The mayor right now even admitted that there had been a mistake when the house was sold.
There haven't been any trouble yesterday or today, and it seems as if the trouble has slowed down, or even disapeared. The police has done a great job so far, as this situation could have gone completely out of control. Especially the clearing of the house was amazingly done, as there was loads of bricks, molotovs and other weapons inside the house.
The Netherlands has quite the same change in govermental ruling with the houses. Alot of people getting kicked out.
The house is being torn down right now. They've stopped the destruction for a short time, because there has been found asbestos in the house. But most of the house is gone. Hundreds of people is standing in the rain and crying. The street where the house is located is filled with flowers, as at a funeral.

I believe that this will provoke massive demonstrations.
Fucking hippies. Get a life.
