For the last two days, the news reports from where the attacks have taken

                   place have been running constantly on all TV channels both in Denmark and
                   abroad. Reports from the crime scenes, a slew of experts, witnesses, journalists,

                   politicians and of course various leaders from both the police and the military

                   have spoken out, but still without saying anything concrete.
                          Earlier in the day, there had been violent clashes in Nørrebro, a small area

                   of Copenhagen, when a petty right-wing radical, who has been making anti-

                   Muslim comments for the past few years, decided to throw a protest. He chose
                   today to carry out an illegal demonstration. This led to violent clashes between

                   outraged citizens and the district's ethnic minority. The politician believed that
                   the country was exposed to a Muslim conspiracy that was now attacking the

                   country from within. The police had to use teargas, sticks, as well as firing

                   several warning shots to disperse the protesters and the angry mob. They made
                   a lot of arrests. Although it had been a violent protest, it didn’t received close to

                   the media attention that the right-wing radical had hoped for, on the contrary,

                   most media preferred to downplay the significance of the riots and chose to
                   retain their primary focus on the two crime scenes instead.

                           Virtually the entire country sits glued to the TV screen or stays close to
                   one, to be able to follow the situation.

                          “Denmark is under attack, is there another on the way?”

                                 “Now possible locations for bombs??”
                   These are the questions that have been raised be the prominent journalists. Most

                   Danes are currently thinking and discussion the situation. The whole state is on

                   high alert.


                          Even though he been in situations like this before, this is different, this is

                   bigger. It feels strange and empty to be among the few people who possess a
                   knowledge that is utterly different than what the rest of the population know. At

                   the moment, the whole country is convinced, all the way from experts to

                   politicians and to ordinary people, that Denmark is under attack by radicalized
                   terrorists - but that isn’t true. In reality this is something completely different,

                   and the word will at some point be reach the mainstream, but for now they’ll let
