And You Thought the US Had an Immigration Problem!

Check out this report from Denmark.

More clashes between rival gangs in Denmark's underworld are on the way. Since 2005, activities of immigrant gangs has seen a marked rise, according to the Danish National Police's annual report on organised crime.

'I don't want to fan the flames and say that we will see a recurrence of biker wars between the newest elements, but our investigations indicate that there will be more clashes between rival gangs,' Kim Kliver from the National Police told daily newspaper Jyllands-Posten.

Inter-gang fighting between the Hells Angels and the Bandidos weakened the two groups' grip on the illegal drug market during the mid-1990s. In addition, police cracked down on biker gangs by tracking financial activities, limiting the gangs' activities. The method, introduced in 2002, is known as the Al Capone method.

Since the rival motorcycle gangs signed a truce in September 1997, immigrant gangs have made an entrance into the lucrative narcotics trade. The organised gangs have capitalised on the police crackdown of biker gangs. Previously it was the Bandidos and the Hells Angels that controlled the trafficking of women and drugs to and from Denmark.

'The relative strength and the balance of power between biker gangs and other criminal groups and networks changed significantly during 2005. The shift is evidenced by a lower number of confrontations between biker gangs and other gangs. Biker gangs have begun to react more passively to provocative behaviour from the other groups,' the report stated.

In the land of the Vikings even Hell's Angels are intimidated by the immigrant gangs, mostly of Latin American and Asian provenence.

And we thought we had it bad....

No doubt some sociologist will opine that this is just evidence that Denmark is a closed society, unwelcoming to foreigners or some other such rot, but what is really happening is a societal unwillingness to confront and stand strong against criminality.

What Copenhagen needs is a strong dose of Crockett and Tubbs.

We have to make a decision -- is Western Civilization worth fighting for or not?
