Ramadan rioting

Heh, did you know there have been three nights of rioting in Brussels? If you rely on the MSM, of course not. The indefatigable Pastorius, however, has the latest at IBA.

Heh it's the capital of EUtopia - nothing can be going wrong as defined by those who know.

Whether it is gang violence or something else they seem to have no determined inclination to deal with it.

I think this has much to do with the artificial makeup of Belgium. In the south and Brussels the French Walloons predominate, the rest of the country is Flemish. The socialists who run Brussels are Walloon and depend on the emigrant vote to stay in power, so they aren't going to do anything to upset those voters. Along with this there is actually a movement among the Flemish to secede but the main Flemish party aligned with that view was outlawed because of "racism." My, my, those socialists sure are the democratic sort, no.
