The city of Copenhagen endured
Friday, February 15, 2008
The city of Copenhagen endured a fifth night of moderate rioting with a high chance of car-torching in various immigrant-heavy neighborhoods. Six youngsters have been arrested, which seems relatively lenient considering 11 autos were burned last night, and local police enjoyed regular hails of rocks from enthusiastic residents. The cause of the unrest is presumed to be the reprinting of the cartoons that depict and/or mock the prophet Muhammad, which originally caused a stir in 2006; authorities uncovered a plot to assassinate the cartoonist this week, which led to the reprint.
