Of course not. There's no justification for what this kids have done.

Certainly. What is interesting in the current situation, is that the spirit of Ungdomshuset probably will live on in new places, legal or illegal (if you know about
Second Life, there is now an exact copy of the house on there), and hopefully in a milieu that will not be dominated by the BZ/squatter people and their agenda. I have met a few of the people who were active in Ungdomshuset, and I am sure that some of them will keep on doing what they were doing, and, as said, hopefully without having to feel that they 'owe' anything to the squatter movement.

That's where these 'anarchists' become an arm of the state...enforcers..which I'd suggest is one of the primary reasons a lot of their nonsense is tolerated.

Agreed.

Well, I am not sure if you can really talk about succesful resistance to multi-culturalism in Denmark (jeg bor forresten i Danmark, hvis du skulle være i tvivl) - there is Dansk Folkeparti who treat the symptoms, i.e. immigration and decline in life quality and security for the weak groups in Danish society (the elderly, the sick, low-income workers, etc.), but refuse to act on the real cause of all this: capitalism. They want high standards of living, without the consequences...
