Amazing, they have both kinds of unrest:\u00a0 Muslim and leftist.\u00a0 The incident cited was a Muslim terrorist who shot up a free speech event.\u00a0 Striking parallels to the Left in this country.\u00a0 Sounds as if Danes need to start listening to The Donald.<\/p>\n

(Danish Military trivia:\u00a0 the\u00a0Hjemmev\u00e6rnet,\u00a0<\/i><\/em>or “Home Guard”, which is their national militia, was established after WW2 on the basis of the wartime Resistance – and with the mission of operating independently of the King and Parliament to defend the country (or kill invaders) regardless of the any government capitulation.\u00a0 It was the closest I’ve seen to a “Second Amendment”-style policy in any non-Swiss European state.\u00a0 But in recent decades, that mission has been softening; the\u00a0Hjemmev\u00e6rnet\u00a0<\/i>has been drawn more into the government mainstream, and the notion of having to resist an invader even in contravention of a (subjugated) government has faded from living memory.\u00a0 I wonder if it’ll make a reappearance?\u00a0 \u00a0Nota bene<\/em>:\u00a0 don’t underestimate the Danes).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Joe Doakes from Como Park emails: Denmark is putting troops at the border and on guard duty around synagogues.
