COVID CLASHES: Rioters clashed with police in towns across the Netherlands for a third night. The unrest was sparked by a new overnight curfew, but officials said the violence was 'criminal.'

A person looks at a torched coronavirus testing facility in the Dutch fishing village of Urk, Sunday, Jan. 24, 2021, after it was set ablaze Saturday night by rioting youths protesting on the first night of a nation-wide curfew.

Dutch media reported calls on social media for further violent protests even as the country struggles to contain new coronavirus infections, hospitalizations and deaths. Worst hit during the rioting Sunday was the southern city of Eindhoven, where police clashed with hundreds of rioters who torched a car, threw rocks and fireworks at officers, smashed windows and looted a supermarket at its railway station.

Nijmegen was one of a number of towns and cities that issued emergency decrees giving police extra powers to keep people away from certain locations amid reports of possible riots there. At least one store in Nijmegen was shown on Dutch television being boarded up as a precaution.

Well, at least it's good to know that it's not just Americans who are idiots.

This is a combination of right-wing opportunists and idiocy generated by propaganda on Facebook and elsewhere. Politicians who peddle such nonsense should be removed. They have several right-wing ignoramuses there using this as a political tool.

Antifa International 😡

They're just as ignorant as americans

All Trump’s fault 🤣🤣

Well now lets blame the Democrats because they was ok with this and even said its a ideal and movement not real lol So now believe democrats lie to us everyday

Yah, this is like Pippa from BBC News. If you were like involved in the riots can you like email me at nepotismbbcnews and we'll like do a piece on you.

DAMN ANTIFA AND BLM...

Hard to fathom. Pray for snow

Praying for you all.

Curfews are ridiculous

Hmmm.

The rioters are weak. They have a temper tantrum because of a disease-fighting curfew. They would have never made it during the feudal era. The black death would surely have claimed them. Learn from history or repeat it. Our choice.

Curfew is for their safety, just follow health protocols

Do you think this is what people really need right now?

WTF is wrong with y'all white people?

See mostly Arabs

Covid clashes lmao.

Well-known double standard, well-deserved reputation!
