Trigger-happy bastards

A couple of students wanted to film a movie as part of a school project. They wrote the airport in Copenhagen and asked for permission to film a movie on the airports property.

They got the permission and then all things were supposed to run smoothly.

It didn't

"Armed" student causes terrorist alarm, Politiken

Then I have to ask: What kind of movie did they believe the students was supposed to shoot? It is rather obivious that the script called for a gun.

The students was treated unfairly and once again the authorities showed that Denmark has lost the war against terrorism. We might as well redraw our troops from Afghanistan because the terrorists has won the moral war. We are a population living in pure fear!!!

It is not the first time our police overreacted. When the police helped a rather fundamentalist group to tear down the Ungdomshuset, the police confiscated a computer due to a exam task over nutrition

The written assignment was named "Riot or Diet". Riot was at that time a forbidden word in Denmark. Just putting it on print was reason enough to the destroy the future of this young student because without turning it in, she was unable to graduate forever because she would be so old when she was finished that she would't have years enough to pay off her student debts. A life destroyed due to just one word!

I don't know how it came to this stage of panic in Denmark. Maybe it is all the drive-by shootings conducted by immigrants because they want to control the drug market. Maybe it is the fact that a huge part of immigrants drove around in our streets celebrating 9/11.

But we have lost the most important we have left. We have forgotten not to take thing serious. It is very important when you pay more than 50 percent in income tax and have no access to early retirement longer. Just monday another woman was sentenced for using the b-word at the security when she was asked a leading question as if a terrorist will answer truthfully about this subject.

I have decided not to go near an airport in the future and I will advice everyone to do the same. It is just not worth risk prison just because our instict will cause us joke about the harassment we are put through.

I fear for my children

Just yesterday it was published that gangs rekruts youth from every part in our society. At the same time the so-called prevention commision wants to raise the purchase age for alcohol to 18.

Because youth wants to hang out and find unity, they become easy target for the rekruters which will provide them with alcohol and drugs if they cannot buy alcohol in the stores.

In some parts of Jutland younger children aged around 13-15, who used to drink when their parents sent them down to the shop to buy beers have turned to crimes and they steal boxes of beer from peoples sheds.

Why criminalize our youth. I decided to live here in Denmark because this country were known for its freedom to do what they want within the borders of the law. I have lovely wife, but it a man choose to live with a man, they can get papers on each other down at the town hall - almost as a marriage.

It seems that Denmark is on a slow path forward to a dictatorship.

Even the question how people wants to dress is adressed as if they were living in Iran. At some schools they don't want trousers that expose skin because they fit badly. As one out of three siblings I often got clothes, which was too small for my older brother. It was often too large for me, but I had to wear it anyway. All those rules. I am beginning to understand why every third of the students in our 9'th grade have been missing the last 14 days.

But also in town certain dresses can prevent you from getting inside. It is rather odd, because this socalled "Strudhætte" have been worn for more than 500 years. It is an old tradition.

I am beginning to fear that we force the youth into the hands of the gangs. What meaning does the words of Jesus have today? Did he not say: "Let the children come to me"?

Let us accept that youth are different. They experiment with alcohol. They want to try things. Accept those things regardless if the sight is not always pretty.

It is only by learning from their mistakes that they can get better people. If we choose dialogue instead of rejection, the gangs wont have it so easy.
