Yep, this protest was quite the spectacle. Saw a live feed on Telegram of that evening. More protests and riots were organized in my lovely country (such as in Enschede, Leeuwarden and Groningen abeit on smaller scale) that weekend in sympathy to those who were shot*.
*that's what I read on some groups, but the main theme was "Fuck de corona maatregelen" with lots of heavy fireworks, stones and burnt bicycles (cop cars included), so yeah.
Some background: a week before this there was a large demonstration at Rotterdam harbor by harbor men from the group #DockersUnited against the measurements. The riot police reacted quite harshly against them (imo anyway). This could have contributed to the large Rotterdam centrum riot of Friday evening.
Eyyy, I live down the road from “Little Groningen” (on the other side of the world)!
I met some Dutchies on a plane, here, once, who didn’t even know where Groningen was, amusingly…
Glad to hear “OG Groningen” is a bit more based than the version I am used to, lol! It’s really just a suburb, here… Though I believe it used to be a separate (Dutch, obviously) town/settlement…
Never visited Aussie, however I like cars and if I were to design my ideal sedan it would definitely include a deep blue metallic paint, blower powered straight six, manual in the middle and RWD. An Ferd Falcon XR6T FG fits that picture perfectly.
