Thought this might be of interest to some:

I suppose it's only a matter of time before this kind of thing starts to happen on a large scale elsewhere in Europe and the rest of the world too.
I'm not really sure violence is the right means to exhibit it, but I do understand their point. It would be interesting to know whether these protesters actually represent the general opinion of the entire Dutch population, or if they are a minority viewed by most as extremists.

This was in response to the introduction of a new 9pm curfew in the Netherlands.Protesters started fires in the centre of the southern city of Eindhoven and pelted police with rocks on Sunday at a banned protest against coronavirus lockdown measures. Officers responded with teargas and water cannon, arresting at least 30 people.
Police in Amsterdam also used a water cannon to disperse another banned anti-lockdown demonstration on a major square ringed by museums. Video showed police spraying people grouped against a wall of the Van Gogh Museum.
It was the worst violence in the Netherlands since the pandemic began. The country has been in a tough lockdown since mid-December that is due to continue at least until 9 February.
