Bossche Kermis – #DefendDenBosch grijpt in na meldingen. Woensdagavond is Defend Den Bosch toch de Bossche kermis opgegaan, nadat er meerdere vragen en meldingen waren binnengekomen van mensen die overlast ondervonden van groepen #Syrische jongeren. Vooral rond de botsauto’s zouden zich problemen voordoen. Defend Den Bosch liep een ronde over de kermis. Bij de botsauto’s werden volgens aanwezigen al snel handtastelijkheden richting meisjes waargenomen. Een groep van ongeveer tien Syrische jongeren werd daarop aangesproken en verzocht hiermee te stoppen. De Syrische jongeren zochten vervolgens de confrontatie en er werd wat geduwd, waarna Defend Den Bosch hen verzocht de kermis te verlaten. Onder zware politiebegeleiding, waarbij agenten tussen de jongeren en Defend in liepen, werd de groep uit de binnenstad begeleid. Kort daarna werd dezelfde groep opnieuw opgemerkt op de Parade. Defend Den Bosch sprak hen wederom aan, waarna zij wederom onder begeleiding van politie richting het Hekellaanpark vertrokken. Bij terugkomst op de kermis kreeg Defend Den Bosch van enkele kermisexploitanten bedankjes en de reactie dat er eindelijk werd opgetreden tegen de overlast. Ook complimenten aan politie, handhaving en beveiliging voor de manier waarop er deze avond is gehandeld. Zij hielden toezicht, voorkwamen verdere escalatie en constateerden dat de situatie op een nette manier werd opgelost en werd Defend hierin niet gestoord. Triest dat het nodig is, top dat het gebeurt en chapeau voor de samenwerking! 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Vanavond is #DefendDenBosch weer op de kermis aanwezig! 💪🏻💪🏻 #DefendDenBosch #Kermis #Overlast
Vanwege wat waarschuwingen heb ik helaas besloten beveiliging in te huren op mijn verjaardag. Mensen zitten mijn netwerk te benaderen met allerlei “vraagjes”. Dit is wat er gebeurt als je de huidige religie van Europa bekritiseert. Het gebeurt meteen nadat mijn scoop uitkwam en mijn bereik explodeerde afgelopen week. De tijd van negeren is voorbij. #Beveiliging #VrijheidVanMeningsuiting #SocialMediaRisico
