1 Killed, 4 Injured in Shooting in Copenhagen’s Anarchist Christiania Neighbourhood

COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) – A shooting Saturday in a Copenhagen neighborhood known for its counterculture vibe and flourishing hashish trade left a 30-year-old man dead and four other people inured, Danish police said.

Two masked gunmen opened fire inside a building in the Christiania neighborhood, Copenhagen police spokesman Poul Kjeldsen told Danish media. Kjeldsen said the shooting was believed to be linked to criminal gangs, Denmark´s TV2 reported. He said one of those injured was in critical but stable condition; the others had minor injuries.

Police were still searching for the gunmen late Saturday.

Christiania, also known as Freetown Christiania (Danish: Fristaden Christiania or Staden), is a self-proclaimed autonomous neighborhood of about 850 residents, covering 34 hectares (84 acres) in the borough of Christianshavn in the Danish capital Copenhagen – mural painting- Denmark.

Christiania has been a freewheeling anarchist commune since the 1970s when hippies started squatting in a former naval base. Hashish sales were tolerated there by authorities until 2004 when police started to crack down on the drug trade.

Still, the hashish trade has continued with occasional flareups in violence linked to criminal gangs.

Neighbourhood, Looks like a no go zone. Just another neighbourly shooting. Diversity is our strength.

The price of diversity, inclusion, equity (DIE).

Christianas been there for 50 odd yrs. Danes have left, White flight. I would say Denmark is no longer a safe country to visit.

Christianites agree after joint meeting: Pusher Street must be closed as soon as possible

After Saturday's killing of a 30-year-old man in Pusher Street, the Christianites have decided at a joint meeting to put an end to cannabis sales in Pusher Street.

A 30-year-old man from the biker and gang scene was shot dead in Pusher Street on Saturday night. Now the Christianites want to close the street.

Pusher Street in Christiania must be closed as soon as possible. This was decided by the Christianites on Sunday evening at a joint meeting, they said in a press release. This is the first time that a united Christiania has announced that it wants the street closed, says Hulda Mader, spokesperson for Christiania's press group.

"It's a big step and it hasn't been an easy decision. But there was a very large majority at the joint meeting who were in favor of closing it," Hulda Mader said. The joint meeting has been held after a 30-year-old man was killed in a shooting incident on Pusher Street on Saturday. The street is known for being the centre of the organised hashish trade in Christiania.

For over half a century, hashish has been sold in the Free City. But especially in recent years, crime and violence have increased on Pusher Street. The killing of the 30-year-old on Saturday is just the latest in a series of killings.

Among other things, a 23-year-old man lost his life in 2022.

Hummelgaard promises action

Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard (Social Democrat) also wants to close Pusher Street after the shooting, in which four other people were also hit by gunfire when two masked men fired their guns. "Unfortunately, this is far from the first time that this type of callous crime has taken place in Christiania, and therefore it is extremely important that we put our foot down and close Pusher Street as we know it today. I therefore fully support the master plan for Pusher Street, which the City of Copenhagen, the police, ourselves and the residents of Christiania are in the process of designing, among others", Hummelgaard said in a written statement.

At the same time, he announces new measures in the fight against the gangs: "The government will shortly present a gang package with a number of measures that, among other things, will further strengthen the authorities' efforts against the gangs, including in Pusher Street, their recruitment of young people and the brutal crime that emanates from the environment. We must use all means to combat the gangs' evil both inside and outside Christiania", the justice minister said.

An 18-year-old man was remanded in custody for 25 days on Sunday on charges of murder and attempted murder following the violent shooting on Saturday night. Police believe he helped the two main perpetrators who fired the fatal shots at the 30-year-old man in various ways.

He has pleaded not guilty and has appealed against the detention order to the High Court.

Christianites agree after joint meeting: Pusher Street must be closed as soon as possible 28 VIII 2023.

One time, the perpetrator stood in line and waited to shoot: The police now have 3 unsolved Christiania killings.

Copenhagen’s Anarchist Christiania District Shuts Down Infamous Hash Market.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark – The now-aging hippies who took over a derelict naval base in Copenhagen more than 50 years ago and turned it into a freewheeling community known as Christiania want to boot out criminals who control the community’s lucrative market for hashish by ripping up the cobblestoned street where it openly changes hands.

Over the years, there have been many attempts to halt the illegal hashish sales which have often ended in violent clashes between criminal gangs and police, with trading then quickly resuming. On Saturday, residents started digging up Pusher Street, after which they can receive government money earmarked for the area’s renovation.

Just after 10 a.m., two children living in Christiania, Emilia and Sally, lifted the first cobblestone from the infamous street in a symbolic move. A large crowd gathered at the scene erupted in applause as the heavy stone was showed around.

Danish Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard, who was present at the ceremony, said he believes that the excavation of Pusher Street and the individual cobblestones has high symbolic value.

“For more than 40 years, Christiania and the illegal sale of drugs out here has been a huge thorn in the side of the established society,” Hummelgaard told Danish broadcaster TV2. “But now we have reached the point where the Christianians have also had enough of the (criminal) gangs.”

Citizens of the free village Christiania jointly dig up the cobblestones at Pusher Street, in Copenhagen, Denmark, Saturday April 6, 2024. After the cobblestones are removed, new water pipes and a new pavement will be laid on Pusher Street and nearby buildings will be renovated. That is the first step in an overall plan to turn the hippie oasis into an integrated part of the Danish capital area, although “the free state” spirit of creativity and community life is to be maintained.

The plan is to create “a new Christiania without the criminal hashish market,” said Mette Prag, coordinator of a new public housing project in the enclave. Prag, who has lived in Christiania for 37 years, likened it to “a village.”

“We don’t want the gangsters anymore,” said Hulda Mader, who has lived in Christiania for 40 years. Once the illegal trade is gone, “there might be some people selling hashish afterward, but it’s not going to be in the open.”

After the cobblestones are removed, new water pipes and a new pavement will be laid on Pusher Street and nearby buildings will be renovated. That is the first step in an overall plan to turn the hippie oasis into an integrated part of the Danish capital area, although “the free state” spirit of creativity and community life is to be maintained.

For years, Danish authorities have been breathing down the necks of the downtown community.

In 1971, squatters took over the abandoned military facility and set up a neighborhood dedicated to the flower-power ideals popular at the time of free cannabis, limited government influence, no cars and no police. Since then, successive Danish governments have wanted to close Christiania because of the open sale of hashish, among other things, often leading to tense relations.

To begin with, the residents, called Christianites, disregarded laws by building houses without permits and often ignoring utility bills. Outsiders could only move into the community if they were related to someone already living there.

The residents eventually were given the right to use the land, but not to own it. After more than four decades of locking horns with authorities, they were given control over their homes in 2011, when the state sold the 84-acre (24-hectare) enclave for 125.4 million kroner ($18.2 million) to a foundation owned by its inhabitants. Currently, nearly 800 adults and about 200 children live there, according to Prag, with up to 25% of the residents above the age of 60.

The following year, it was decided to erect public housing for up to 300 people. Construction is expected to start in 2027.

Prag said they want “younger people, more families” to move in who are willing to participate in community activities to keep the spirit of Christiania alive, complete with buildings painted in psychedelic colors and stray dogs.

Over the years, Christiania has become one of Copenhagen’s biggest tourist attractions, a magnet for Danes as well as foreigners. Some come to be offended by the open sale of hashish – authorities for years tolerated the hashish trade on Pusher Street – and others to buy weed. Christiania banned hard drugs in 1980.

Demonstration by residents of the Christiania community in Copenhagen in March 1976.

In 2004, police began cracking down on drug-related activities – worth millions according to police – controlled by the Hells Angels and the outlawed Loyal to Family. Even when police arrested dealers and fined customers, the illegal sales resumed soon afterward.

In August of last year, drug-related tensions escalated when a turf war apparently led to a shooting in which one man died and several people were wounded.

Residents also have tried to stop the sales on Pusher Street themselves by tearing down the dealers’ booths, but they mushroomed back. Residents blocked access to the street with huge shipping containers, but masked men removed them.

Fed up with criminals, residents decided in August that something had to be done, knowing that the government had said that getting rid of the organized hashish sales was “an important prerequisite” before Christiania could get 14.3 million kroner ($2.1 million) earmarked for the renovation work.

Now, Christiania hopes that, by inviting ordinary people to come and help dig up Pusher Street, the sales will stop once and for all, and the community can remain an alternative yet legal part of Copenhagen without criminals.

“You can come and have a cobblestone” as a souvenir, Mader said with a smile.

I didn't even know they had such a thing as an 'Anarchist' District....
But now that I thing about it we have a couple here at home:
Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, San Fransisco and Oh wait can't forget Washington D.C.

NYC, ALBANY, BOSTON

Los Angeles, Long Beach

Basically EVERY demoncrapic run cesspool, be it a major metropolitan area or a small town, think Dolton Illinois, or even smaller.
Demoncraps are just communists, destroying everything they touch for vain reasons...

most Americans can't find Denmark on a map.

imagine being so stupid you destroy your own city in a temper tantrum..........that's liberalism for you.
