Marco Kroon has responded strongly to the unrest at the fair in Den Bosch, Friday evening. A group of around 150 to 200 football supporters of the hard core of FC Den Bosch stood there opposite a group of young people. He would have been challenging. The former soldier takes it in hard terms for the Bossche men group: “Self-defense is a fundamental right”.
The police and the ME were present in large numbers on Friday evening in the center of Den Bosch. The atmosphere was grim, according to eyewitnesses it was waiting for the flame to hit the pan. That did not happen because the police kept the parties apart.
Kroon writes down on Saturday Facebook About the group that he describes as ‘guests’: “I can fully imagine that Bossche men took the lead this weekend …. because this rig, is only out for fighting, misery, chaos and destruction.”
He continues: ‘As a soldier, I not only sworn faithfully to the king and our constitution, but also to enforcing Dutch norms and values that we as a society strive and live. That is why, as a simple boy from a working -class neighborhood, I understand very well that our Bossche boys finally set a border and together made a fist against this excessive vandalism and violence. Personally as a Bosschenaar I can only pronounce admiration for this. This is thinking in the we. ”
“Even though there is good intentions, the chance of escalation is high.”
Although the former soldier thought the decision of the activists bravely, he also emphasizes that taking matters into his own hands is always dangerous and that he will certainly not promote this. “Even though there is good intentions, the chance of escalation is high.”
According to Kroon, the role of the government fails. “Maybe,” he suggests, “we even have to choose to bring back the ‘green’ (soldiers, ed.) In addition to ‘blue’ (police, ed.) To the street scene ‘.
Kroon indicates that he is personally very happy that it has not yet come to a confrontation or has escalated. He hopes that families can enjoy the Bossche Kermis again this last weekend.
