No it is not. Europeans can have guns, and there was a recent case in Belgium where such a thing happened.
I’m pretty sure you’re not allowed to use your legal firearms against people in Denmark. Even in a home intrusion event.
But you can't use it against someone for just entering your premises illegally. It needs to be a clear and present danger.

How is force working for Hamas? The shift in general sentiment towards Israel came from Israel's blatant disregard for civilian life and from their apartheid politics being put in spotlight. Hamas are still regarded as terrorist savages by everyone sane and their Oct 7 attack served as an excuse for Israel to set them back and hunt them regardless of collateral casualties, terrorizing their compatriots

So if you think justice for Palestinian civilians is their cause, it's not them who are responsible for it winning hearts and minds globally

There have been cases in the US where homeowners shot cops dead who were in the process of unexpectedly raiding their home, because the homeowner had no idea they were cops and not home invasion robbers; and in some cases have been acquitted of murder charges by juries for this. I'd personally like to see the laws protecting this strengthened, to make sure that cops aren't charging unannounced into peoples' homes and…
I would much prefer a society where all homeowners and cops don't carry guns and cops were fired for illegal raids.

I was on a consultant-assignment at a company that got raided by the police in the EU. The police was extremely careful not to scan any data that where stored on US-servers. The company used Google for mail and file storage, so all computers had to be taken offline before they could scan them. While I don't doubt they have a way of getting permission to access that data, I don't think they will put in the effort unle…
This seems exactly backwards to what I'd expect, I wonder what the official rationale is.

If the goal was to maximize attention to the event (in order to use it to steer attention towards the cause) then it was quite successful, no? After all, we're talking about it here. Mostly about him and the details of the event, but some sub-threads are about the cause too. So, success?
Success in what exactly? There a very strong political movement in Denmark towards protecting privacy rights, then there’s this nutjob who just got out of jail for bribes, harassment, death threats against politicians and immediately he starts stalking the kids of the prime minister. He’s not doing anything for the cause he claims to fight for. He’s doesn’t want a right to privacy he wants to be allowed to continue t…
Doesn't seem to be working.

I don’t think he goes too far at all. If politicians are attempting to undermine your children’s right to privacy forever , and yet these same politicians don’t like when this is being done to their own children…it shows either an astonishing level of hypocrisy and/or stupidity. Europe is filled with these types of authoritarian urbanites, who make decisions from an elitist “i know what’s best for you” attitude while…
Even if you don't think he goes too far ethically , you can probably agree that it's reasonable for the police to intervene once he's interfering with the cars of government ministers.
> When the two civilian dressed masked men entered the apparentment I think this is very irresponsible. What would happen if the owner was armed and harmed the police thinking that they were criminals?

What is good is that he is a wrench, that throws itself in the works repeatedly. This is a healthy thing to have.
