Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.
She was later released with NO CHARGE.
A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

100%! Success is being belittled and instead fear is being celebrated
The Netherlands has issues but is an extraordinarily successful society - rich, safe, healthy and beautiful, with outstanding public services.
Unfortunately a lot of people take this for granted, and believe politicians who claim to be patriots while claiming everything is terrible
Unfortunately a lot of people take this for granted, and believe politicians who claim to be patriots while claiming everything is terrible
I'm going to blame part of this on the fact that no-one wants to stand up and admit that this is is a beautiful, wonderful, successful country, which has a manageable number of problems, most of which are related to the fact that too many people want to live in our lively, historic vibrant cities.
