The article is in Dutch and the google translation is just ridiculously silly So I'll give a basic translation a go:

Troublemakers have caused problems today at the BLOSO domain Hofstade in Zemst. When all was done, 1 troublemaker was arrested. A group of at least 200 troublemakers closed in a few police agents at about 18.00 hours, the police inspectors where beaten and bombarded with bottles and projectiles.

The troublemakers surrounded the police officers and it took quite some time before the officers where able to get themselves to safety. According to a police source there where a lot of youths from Brussels and Schaarbeek.

Only one rioteer was arrested. "It wasn't easy to identify youths from the Group of 200 to 300 that at about 18.00 hours enclosed and bombarded 8 police officers with bottles and projectiles" acording to mayor Bart Coopman. Two agents where mildly injured one on the head and the other on his foot.


"The problems started around 18.00 hours during a fight on the beach", acording to Coopman. "The people from the private security of the domain couldn't get the fight under control and called for police assistance. From the moment the first 3 officers arived on the beach, a mass of youths turned against them and started throwing projectiles at them like bottles, rocks and cans. At one point 8 police officers wh"ere surrounded by 200 to 300 youths. Only when the police officers left the beach did peace return

The Officers called for back up and soon 60 to 70 agents where present from surrounding police corps Federal police and railway police. "They have then focused primarilly on quietly evacuating. The Bus firm had sent extra busses at our request and all involved have quietly returned home, no notheworthy events took place on the busses" concludes Coopman. The new problems on and around the domain he again ascribes to Brussels youths of foreign origin.

Seriously, every year it's the same thing.

Hofstade is a natural lake where you can go swimming, or engage in other recreational activities like tennis, my dad used to go there with me when I was a kidd, the last few years however northern African youths are taking over the place Every year when the weather starts getting better Hofstade makes the news because of Morrocan youths from Brussels rioting on the busses from public transportation and on the domain itself, a few years ago they beat up a bus driver so every bus from Brussels to Hofstade from then on was given a police escort. And now this happened it's despicable And it's being handled in the wrong way if you ask me.

The police should just send out the riot squad and bash some heads in and then make everyone they arest/beat to a pulp pay for the cost of deploying the riot squad.

What they do now is simply politely asking the youths to get on the busses and then driving them home to Brussels free of charge.

It's sickening

This sounds like the kind of stuff they do here in the UK. Instead of teaching the thugs a lesson, they pander to their every needs. All the authorities will get from giving them a free bus ride home is more trouble next year, because hey, now the thugs think they can do that and get a free bus home too!

Exactly, I can't believe they don't simply solve things by sending out the riot squad like they do with football hooligans.

Thugs are thugs and should be treated as such

[MathiasOfAthens]

You guys are acting like british punks.

[Gromovnik]

Oh, youths will be youths...

So the answer to your solution is Police brutality? I bet if the rioters weren't North African, your answer would be different.

It's quite the opposite in Belgium (and Brussels) tbh. Police don't even arrest the North African youth anymore, since the arrested people are free the day after. They know it, so they think they get away with everything. If I would've demolished a bus, the cops would've stood in front of my house 15 minutes later. It wouldn't hurt if a pfew proper arrests were made and if some troublemakers got battered.

Aren't you exaggerating a bit? You seem to live in a different country as me. But that's perhaps because you have a nationalistic agenda? Them and us... We're not that different. Actually , we are one.

About the 'It wouldn't hurt ...if some troublemakers getting battered' bit : That's just plain silly,no? Sounds a bit bit like Assad or Khadaffi. Nationalists... Always at the ready do bring down 'the boot'

Oh yes. Not allowing "youths" to riot freely makes you the 2nd Gadaffi...

[flonky]

They should do what our police did during the tuition fee protests a few months ago.

SEND IN THE CAVALRY

No, if these where 100% white flemish youths I'd still call for the riot squad dishing out a good old fashioned beating.

These are places where you expect families to take their kids to for a nice familly day. They are not places where you should hone your child shielding skills.

Any kind of thug from any kind of subculture or ethnicity should refrain from that kind of behaviour in what are suposed to be family friendly recreational facilities, or suffer a heavy beating by the Police riot squad

True, police can't do much really lest they be acused of racism and come under investigation, then there's the centre for equal oportunities and the combatting of racism that could interfere, and well the prisons are full, there's no room for new criminals, and indeed these youths would indeed be released the same day. because the legal system has too much work these days and just can't handle processing street thugs on a daily base.

[Gromovnik]

So what should be done about people rioting in the streets?

[Armenum]

Oh those Moroccan youths....so dangerous, so sinister.....

[Dalarna3]

You try living with them.

[LaMuerte]

You try living with them.

To be honest , I live in the middle of 'them'. In your terms I could say I am surrounded by 'them'. As stated before , we are one. Life is good , and everybody here is enjoying the good weather.

You should really learn to adapt , you wouldn't want to become a dinosaur , would you?

[Gromovnik]

You should really learn to adapt...

maybe they should learn to adapt too?

[Dr. Croccer]

You try living with them.

I'm sorry, but weren't you American? So what the hell do you know about Moroccans in Europe?

As much as any European knows about dealing with the illegal immigration to the US from Mexico, yet they insert themselves into that debate all the time. As an aside that comment of yours is pushing the limits. Please try to refrain from personal comments like that in the future.

When it comes to immigration, I agree with the notion that the immigrants should make some effort to adapt to the culture they move into. But even if they wish not to do so, they still have to obey the laws of the land. This idea of giving them a pass for extremely bad behavior sets a bad precedent.

Except they don't tend to make retarded remarks like ''you try living with them''. He's acting as if he has had personal experience with them, which I highly doubt. Not to mention that it contributes zero to the discussion. If a European made such an absurd comment about Mexicans in the US, then you would be in your full right to point out that he's talking out of his ass, in my opinion.
