| #8 Probably here, Sock Puppet of Doom. Rantburg had a link to a Dutch blogger who posted photos of burning cars near the police station, if I recall correctly. |

| #7 Trying to remember where I read this is instigated by 35 "youths" the Amsterdam police know the well. Sounds like 35 "yoots" need a truly significant hurt put on them. |

| #5 You don't think the city fathers are just looking for a means to make more parking available in a couple months? Not a whole lot of space along the canal [or for that matter, most other] streets. This sort of works like a self purging of mostly the types you'd like to see go first. Considering that the [in]famous red light district is under pressure of urban gentrification, I wouldn't be surprised if someone might be looking to push the tread into [and the present population out of] these neighborhoods. There's only so much land in Amsterdam. If the property pressure is building, guess who goes first? |

| #3 They're burning mostly "immigrant" cars anyway. Sooner or later, the Moors that have jobs, are raising a family, just trying to be Dutch, will really get mad and join the punks and burn more cars. |

| #2 To paraphrase that EUros been saying to Israel throughout the Oslo war "Don't let car burnings stop multiculturalism". |

| #1 I hope the Amsterdam PD starts doing attitude adjustment to some of these wogs. Maybe some canal swimming lessons. |
