Although I can, to a certain extent, sympathise with the kids wanting to keep "their" house I really think they've gone over the top now!! Burning innocent residents cars and totally destroyed a Gymnasium in another part of town. I feel sorry for the elderly and sick people and the poor cats and dogs. They must be so frightened!

I went to bed at 11 and wanted to get some sleep, because I knew something was going to happen later in the night. And yes, I was woken up around 2. Fister heard it of course, he came running to me miawing like crazy to tell me something was going on. Luckily, it's not in streets right where I live, but across the churchyard (6 min. walk) However, it's enough to wake you up.

The police have called in forces from all over Denmark and borrowed huge vans from the Swedish police - a lot of their own have been ruined.

Demonstrations continue this afternoon from various places, so we can expect more of this tonight. Helicopters are circling around again now.

This is what BBC News write today. Under the map, there are more recent pictures.

I'm posting a map to show you where it all goes on. On the right side of the lakes is the city center. I live where the red dot is, the youth house is on the blue dot, and the green dot is the square where almost all demonstrations start from, and also where my vet is. The yellow dot is where a lot of it was happening during last night. The streets marked yellow are completely closed off and the whole area is like a war zone! Up to now, about 600 have been arrested.
