2. Ditto

Wow, tears to my eyes. I'll enjoy a Cheese Danish in their honor.

3. Doesn't surprise me. European countries are still demographically close to threats

..from the likes of Putin.
They haven't forgotten how close they were in WW2 either.
Small vulnerable countries rely on allies & to watch the USA today...they are in it for us now.

Thank you Denmark.

4. I have chills, in wonderful way. Thank you, Denmark!

One of the replies:

Graffiti art on the side of a train in Belgium reads 'Please, I can't breathe' in memory of George Floyd.

5. About 2.000 attended in front of the Parliament, many of them foreigners

- no masks or social distancing, though...

7. Chanting in English, not Danish?

Good that Danes are being liberal and supportive of this cause.

They have some of their own racial problems but hopefully not public executions for a recently unemployed man trying to use a counterfeit $20 bill to buy food. That's America.

8. And did he know it was counterfeit? I use cash a lot and I never scrutinize the bills because I

don't know what to look for, and probably 99% of people don't attempt to check out their cash for bad bills either.

What happened to him could have easily happened to me -- except for one thing: I'm white.

but hopefully not public executions for a recently unemployed man trying to use a counterfeit $20 bill to buy food.

Edited to add: I was in a subthread on this topic, and someone replied with this info, for those who might be interested:
