Riots going on as we speak. Some claim it’s because of new Covid rules, some claim it’s because fireworks are banned for new years eve this year, others claim it’s just hooligans going crazy. [Live images and reports here](https://twitter.com/hashtag/rotterdam?f=live)
Rotterdam being Rotterdam, always an excuse to riot, Im pretty sure notorious hooligans in Den Haag, Amsterdam and Utrecht will follow now too.
The Dutch government must be taking their cues from Myanmar! This is disgraceful.

And the taxpayers are the ones paying for all the damages…
Thx hooligans
Seeing the footage circulating, there’s people who have lost their finger and have been injured. This could have been fireworks of course. Anyhow fuck those ppl rioting and if you get injured whilst rioting I hope you don’t get any help, and when you do go into the hospital you get arrested.
If your going out “protesting” with illigal fireworks that have the same force as a grenade then your not really protesting. Your fking roiting. Also this is a combination of anti covid, pro firework and general hooligangs wrecking the place.
There’s a video of a finger laying on the street circulating on twitter, even for Rotterdam standards kinda disturbing.
people getting shot, losing fingers and eyes. so surreal to see this happening here in the netherlands
Love how German prime time news did fail to mention that with a single word. Riots in our neighboring country? Meh, not interesting enough.
WTF NL

This really reminds me of the Curfew Riots (Avondklokrellen) in january this year; intense riots rocked parts of the country and were seen as the worst in at least 40 years. Wouldn’t be surprised if more riots will occur in the coming weeks with a lockdown in the pipeline …
Man man man, wat een kutzooi
I mean, you can only keep restrictions on people for so long… it’s natural that some people are going to protest.
WTF is going on, people are getting more and more crazier …
Police fire warning shots at protesters
Why call them warning shots if they were directed at people? Thats what i would call shots.
A bit excessive
The use of fireworks is a recent trend employed in the French suburbs called “cités”.
It’s mainly serves a distraction or deterrent when the police tries to conduct controls. It gives time to criminals to get away or hide their drug stashes.
I am not astonished the trend is travelling to Belgium and the Netherlands, thanks to a well known toxic community.
Rotterdam is a nice city shame, it’s taken hostage by so many idiots.
Strange because I never saw headlines in my country(Belgium) nor France talking about such attacks.
If there’s one reason to colonise Mars, it’s that we’d have a place to deport this kind of scum bags to.
Bunch of idiots.
That moment when you can’t pick between blue lives matter and anticovid protests.
how progressive warning shots…. what are you gonna do gun down protestors… real classy like Saddam, Luka or Mao classy.
And remember folks, this is all about the government protecting you
