We've got loads of it here in Denmark at the moment. A shooting every few days in Copenhagen. It's Hell's Angels against the new gangs made up immigrants to Denmark. It's all centred around drugs and prostitution, and also race I think (police deny that, but that's ****e). It's gone mad, worse than it was in Manchester.

Gang wars rage in Denmark

By Alan Fisher in Copenhagen

Danish police say the gang wars are about crime, not race First we heard the loud bang of the metal doors being forced. We jumped out of the car to see dozens of police officers running into the building beside us, many wearing helmets and bullet proof vests.
Mounting the stairs two at a time, they used their small but powerful battering ram to hammer open the door while a handful of others smashed the windows and squeezed through the gaps.
As they pushed into the building, there was loud yelling. The police were determined to show who was in command.

Gang violence has become a major problem We had come to an industrial estate on the edge of Copenhagen to meet some of the members of Denmark's Hell's Angels motorcycle club. This was their clubhouse. We'd originally been told to meet at 11.30am, but the time was moved to 1pm and suddenly we were caught up in the latest public clampdown in Denmark's gang wars.
This is thought to be one of Europe's most peaceful places. But in the 1990s, it was the centre of a bloody gang war, where rival biker gangs across Scandinavia fought for what they believed was "pride and honour".
It left eleven dead and 96 injured and ended when the leaders of the two biker gangs, the Hell's Angels and the Bandidos, shook hands on Danish television.
Gang problems
But over the past few months, gang violence has become a major problem again.
Since the summer there have been more than 30 gang related shootings in Copenhagen alone, with more across the rest of the country.
A low level war is being fought between the bikers and immigrant gangs. Some say it was sparked by the death of a young Turkish man four months ago, others insist the roots are deeper than that.

Denmark has put 140 more officers on the street to tackle the gang wars Inside the club, the 20 or so people held by the police have their arms tied behind their backs and are forced to the floor.
They're thoroughly searched, as is every corner of the club.
Police edge their way along the roof, checking gutters, one even removed the plastic sign pronouncing this place as the home of the Hell's Angels.
Dogs are called in. They're looking for drugs and guns.
After two hours – the police leave. They've found nothing.
As we film them leaving, a large man appears by my side. Jorn Jonke Nielson is an Angel's legend. One of the group's founders in Denmark, he's served 16 years in prison for killing the leader of a rival motor cycle gang.
He shakes my hand, apologises that lunch will be late and invites me into the clubhouse.
We're taken upstairs to a large room with a big-screen TV, a modern kitchen and a table where we'll eat.
Beside him is the leadership of the group, the people who are allowed to face the cameras. We're told there will be no interviews but we can report what is said.
I ask if he's involved in a war.
He tells me: "We're not fighting a war, we, like all Danish people are involved in a cultural conflict with people who are not well integrated with out society."
He points to two members to his left, one born in Iran and the other in Pakistan.
"We are not racist, we want people who are here to accept the Danish way of life."
Defending neighbourhoods
Across the city is the area of Norberro. It's regarded as one of the toughest areas in Copenhagen - home to a large number of immigrants and to the Bloggos gang.
As soon we drive into the area at night, we notice people on the streets keeping watch. The police are here, too, in force, stopping and searching any groups of young men, anyone they think is suspicious.
As we park, we're surrounded by people who want to know what we're doing. I ask why people are so nervous.
"We are protecting our area man. The rockers [Hell's Angels] have come here and shot up our place and hurt innocent people. We're not going to let that happen," someone says.
No one admits to being in the gang, but almost everyone knows someone who is. And under their heavy coats, protecting them from the bitter night air, I catch a glimpse of at least two people wearing bullet proof vests.
I'm guided to a man older than the rest and in Arabic he tells me the shootings are causing tension, and he believes that the police are unfairly targeting the area because it's full of immigrants.
Kim Kilver is the man who has essentially been put in charge of heading the Danish National Police force's investigations into the gang war.
He rejects the idea that this is about race.
"This is about control of the drugs market, of prostitution, of people smuggling. It isn't racist, it's criminal," he says.
The Danish politicians have reacted to concern on the street by pumping more money into the police force and funding an extra 140 officers on the street.
It may make the gangs go away for awhile but it won't make them disappear.
 
I don't want to sound pathetic and prejudiced but with a percentage of 99 % there are always immigrants involved into occuring trouble and to blame for mayhem. This can't be pure chance. We have had (and still have) problems with Turkish and Chechen immigrants causing gang fights and mayhem in Austria.

My opinion about them is that they wouldn't dare doing it in their home country but with Democracy being one of the weakest forms of government protecting offenders it is an invitation for these scumbags.

I would hang them in public and broadcast the scenes via TV shows to their home countries so that they wouldn't even dare thinking about coming to our land.(y)
 
I´ve been living in norrebro, a quite nice area actually, with a lot of good bars. There is a lot of people with foregin background, but not that it is disturbing the piece. I think that this war goes back to the time when the politicians decided to close Christiania and the hashmarket that where there. We had a lot of small hashclubs spread all over the city after that, and it appeared a new market. since then, Christiania has more or less re-opened, but now with more active people on the agenda. This war maybe started as something race-ideological, but it is definitely drugrelated. Thay say that one out of 5 is smoking regulary in Copenhagen, say 400.000 people. It is a lot of money. Further more, the new "gangs" is not as easy to point out, since both Bandidos and HA have markes on their clothes. OG (original Gangster) and other doesn´t have that what i remember.

But is has gone too wild, innocent people are being shot at, and knife has been used against people only because of how they look. I a´m not afraid yet, but i might be if it continue to escalate.

And they already have guns and ammo. This is organized.
 
i was told that to stop the weed market and hells angels controlling it in south africa, seeds were thrown liberally so that durban poison grows at the sides of the roads, eradicating the market that the h.a. controlled.
 

Used to go to Christiania all the time when I lived in Kbh, mate. Actually I lived 10 minutes away, in the Amager district. But that was over 15 years ago.

To the other guy above that blamed the immigrant gangs. Of course, these lads in the gangs are nasty pieces of work and need taking out of harms way. However, the biker culture (Hell's Angels and Bandidos) in DK harbours a very nasty piece of work. The two gangs have been fighting each other for decades. These guys are hardened criminals and are responsible for a hell of a lot of organised crime throughout the country. A biker in DK is different to a biker in many other countries. Don't think of them as middle-aged accountants with a BMW bike. They are vicious thugs that have a hand in prostitution, drug-running and weapons handling.

tbh neb, in the uk the hells angels dont seem to have anywhere near the same influence as in other countries, in fact i would go as far to say as in every other country. they run the drugs and hookers everywhere it seems apart from here.

I suppose being a biker is just old fashioned in the UK.

I always wonder why these guys don't just invent their own gangs, like they do in Britain. It always seems that they must lack imagination.

We've only got about 5 neighbours within a 2.5 km stretch. The lad at the bottom of that stretch is a biker. Just got out of prison after doing 10 years or something. Him and his mates lured another lad to his house, murdered him and chopped the body up to dispose of it. Nice.
 
Neighbours, everybody needs good neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeighbours.

We were warned about him when we moved in here. I've only seen him twice, from the back. Looks like a little shrimp to be honest. :lol:

Still, I won't be breaking a leg to get to know the lad. :unsure:

Sounds a nice bloke.
