As a person who has worked at Nursing homes. Fuck these people. This is not okay.
TheMayorOfTittyCity
I read multiple stories about New Year's chaos in the netherlands. Not sure if it was more prevalent there than other places or was just reported more. The Church (no longer used for services but still an awesome historic building) on the main city park in Amsterdam burned down. Police in Rotterdam being hit with firework. Sounded like NYE in downtown St Louis. Seemed out of control.
tribalistic
Amsterdam is crazy with fireworks. They burnt down a church NYE.

Finland has a lot of problems with immigrants, the laws have become stricter, and no one is hiring them. The number of deportations has also increased significantly.
UseTheSource
I'm so hopeful fireworks will finally get banned again this year. We have so many casualties and so much damage.

Dudes need some loooong prison sentences. JFC
TurnsOut42WasASlightMiscalculation
That's not a prank, that's attempted arson at the very least
jasondeslin
People there have heart conditions. Just take the fucks responsible into the street, douse them in gasoline, and throw them a lit match.
We have too many shitty humans anyway. No loss in BBQing those ones.
This shit reminds me of the guy that killed someone by shooting them point blank in the head with a "blank", got pissed while being arrested because they were faking, then said it was an accident so they shouldn't be convicted at their trial.
Some people don't deserve a 2nd chance.
pjm82
Attempted murder. It's a nursing home, everyone in there is at risk of a heart attack. Horrible
ChocolateCookieAndFudge
Or burning to death of there is a fire. It's not like the resident are going to run out even if there is a fire exit.
OutlawGerman
Oooooh fuck. I'd be catching charges if I saw that. Wtfffff.

Couldn't possibly. You were with me and 10 of our closest friends on that date and time

Yeah, I'm sure there are zero ways for cyber crimes units to do something as simple as go up the trail from the account to the phone then to the person who recorded and have them snitch on the moron who did that... I really hope they get jail for a long time. I just don't get it. Doing stupid shit as a kid is "fine"... but we're into possible manslaugther territory here, how do you not think: "Wait, that might set shit on fire and kill people!!!"
ErniesWidow
That is a special kind of elder abuse. Assholes. I hope they have to work there for community service.
FriscoCorvinus
In case anyone was wondering why they decided to just forbid all fireworks as of this year.

So you tried to set a building on fire with a bunch of disabled elderly people in it? Haha… sounds like fun………

Just make them gator food. It helps the environment

When do we throw you in the chipper then? What's the cutoff, 70?

I really feel like he meant the criminals… not the old folks … I hope.

Actually probably exactly what they meant, lol oops

What a cruel thing to do.

„Wallah“
Isn’t Dutch a beautiful language
Hukkie
Scum, absolutely worthless wastes of oxygen that do not deserve the air they breathe. I refuse to call them human even because they simply do not count. Unfortunately the best we can hope for is some prisontime.
But maybe we get lucky and the other prisoners decide to make an example out of them.
annonymouse211
So. It's Nursing home, not nursery home. I will be mad if it's seniors or babies but still. Slightly different.
alcaray
What is a nursery home?
mikeatike
A typo.
welluhwhatdoyouwantmetosay
You would expect it to be on the other end; either a place to take care of babies or small plants.
MrsHowVeryDareYou
There appears to be a typo or a language whoopsie in the title. I was confused, too.
nobodyspecial995
9 arrests. They got this footage. I'm hopeful
DongleDingler

schlummi
If they were stupid enough to upload such videos (I asume it wasn't the police that uploaded them...), then the uploaders should be easily traceable. -> Police can raid their homes and asking some questions might lead to some further culprits.
UnlimitedTrickPony
do you have a source for the arrests (that is not paywalled)?

The second link wasn't paywalled when I clicked on it, and it had the arrest numbers.
UnlimitedTrickPony
I see "In totaal zijn negen personen aangehouden", my dutch is not very good
jhgaaafvvbuiewadbvvbjmiurs
A total of nine people have been arrested.
pyr0max
Just to be pedantic aangehouden is more like detained. Not really arrested, this being the Netherlands, they probably get away with it (Old man rant).

I would hazard that the accessible glass box was what was appealing to pop one in. The fact that there were old folks upstairs probably wasn't a concern. And the thought that it might start a fire was too much forward thinking in the moment.
morningxafter
As humans the empathy center of our brains doesn’t fully form until mid-20s. That’s why so many teens and young adults make such dumb fucking decisions. It all about your brain chemicals telling you “This will be awesome” resulting in making selfish choices instead of thinking of literally anybody else.
lumpybear
I feel better about my youth then. Thank you internet savior.l
hullabanana
I think mine formed when I was about 10 then, friends wanted to do stupid shit, I was like… but that will make people sad…
sheslikeheroin
I dunno.man i never did anything like that with my friend, any dumbfuckery was limited to our own risk. We playiled with fireworks, made a steam cannon, potato guns and dug a hole with high velocity methods but it was always Off on our own not atracking people. I stopped and assisted at multiple car accidents out of concern for people. Maybe some people don't develop but indont thinks thats universal.
uzetaab
Agreed. This just sounds like an excuse for asshole behaviour. I was 20 once and never did anything like this either.
sheslikeheroin
Exactly. Like this was attempted arson / manslaughter in my eyes. If a sparkler can burn down a bar and kill 40 this could have torched the whole residence. I could excuse a dumbass smashing a mail box with a bat as poorly developed childish behaviour not mass property damage and threat to life like this. If the asshole were muslim the damaged they caused would have probably been labeled terrorism.
Grayfox54
What an asshole!
swedeonamoose
You know what, sometimes maybe the americans might be right about shooting just a little bit.
KingdomsCrown
Ok Charlie Kirk.
ThatSonOfaBitch
That's the slippery slope that America slid down long ago and is now desperately trying to claw itself back up. Sure, you have hooligans, but we have mass shootings. You have knife attacks that kill three at a time, we have gun attacks that kill forty at a time. Your per cap homicide rate is 2.1/100,000, ours is 5.9/100,000; and America has a 3rd the population as Europe. You can choose guns if you want, if you think that's going to solve your problem, but I strongly recommend against it.
TheSongofRiver
This was our bus stop. They blew it up with fireworks on new years eve. I will be glad when the firework ban truly happens.
unluckyandbored
You should have to have a license to buy anything more dangerous than a party popper.
schlummi
That (and the one in the video above) are for sure not legal. But you can buy professional firework without a license in afaik e.g. poland. All schengen, no real borders. In EU there were plenty of serious accidents with e.g. these: https://preview.redd.it/7eydn8b7ayyy.jpg?width=576&auto=webp&s=4826ba1c28a8d10d600e1f876aa9b93fad58772c

in america we just blow off own fingers.
TheSongofRiver
They do that here too. Few people died, a whole lot of injuries and fires. Same thing each year. https://youtu.be/rGJseovT8ug?si=jy-Um7rwG23Bur6h

I have been set on fire by fireworks on three separate occasions.

wurstkaesescenario
This is exactly what is handing the electorate to right-wing parties and giving strength to the emerging hatred towards Muslims.
FatBastardVegetarian
Why?
BobTheBogus
Did you watch the video? There are very many of similar content. „Wallah“ is not Dutch.
Last year there was a leak of the first names of the people arrested on new years eve in Berlin, 2/3 of them were Arabic.
They have to put road blocks around public events and especially Christmas markets in Germany and spoiler alert: its not because of the Buddhists.
FatBastardVegetarian
Thanks. I didn't watch. Shit.
wurstkaesescenario
There's probably nothing to add.
wurstkaesescenario
His words explain which people are destroying all nice things in Europe
HiddenSanity
I don't speak Dutch, what do you mean?
FriscoCorvinus
Probably the "wallah." as the the actual Dutch it's just about the running and the damage.
HiddenSanity
Wallah meaning?
FriscoCorvinus
I believe "I swear to you." but became one of those 'young people words'. It was adopted from the migrants from majority Muslim countries.
HiddenSanity
Ah, so 'Dang youths destroying the nation' kinda deal.
