The sheer absurdity of the whole thing made me laugh.
- danieldk 14y agoIt's completely surreal. I live about four kilometers from Haren, it's a relatively quiet suburban area, inhabited by mostly wealthier people. Pretty much the last place you'd expect a riot. It was mostly white trash that look for any occasion to wreak havoc. Fortunately, the place was also packed with local and national media, so lots of the people who trashed the place are captured on video. One can only hope that they'll send them the cleaning and repair bills. Also, this will increase the interest in automatically monitoring of social media to identify threats.
- rheide 14y agoI would've laughed too, were it not that these people completely wrecked a small village, caused considerable damage, rioted against the police and injured the residents. I am appalled at my own country for letting this happen.
- smoyer 14y agoAbsurd may be correct and it might have been laughable had no one been injured. At some point you'll want to learn when laughing is appropriate (it's a social skill).
