Conservative Youth: More criminal gangs must be banned

Konservativ Ungdom (Conservative Youth) is advocating for a stricter approach to criminal gangs, urging the government to ban more organizations involved in violence. The call follows a recent DR documentary, "The gangs' hidden victims," which highlighted the increasingly extreme methods employed by these groups, including threats and surveillance against the relatives of those they target.

The criminal gangs' use of increasingly extreme methods; now their brutality is also directed at relatives, who are monitored and threatened with their lives.

The youth organization argues that these criminal gangs demonstrate a complete lack of respect for others and society. While acknowledging the difficulty in proving a gang's direct involvement in violence to warrant a ban, they point to previous successful bans of groups like LTF and Bandidos. Konservativ Ungdom believes that banning more violent gangs would significantly improve the police's ability to separate criminals, guide them toward rehabilitation, and prosecute those who refuse to change their behavior.

The DR documentary is cited as evidence of the urgent need to combat criminal gangs with all available means and to limit their terrorization of innocent lives. Laurits Monefeldt, the legal affairs spokesperson for Konservativ Ungdom, emphasizes that this fight is crucial for protecting ordinary citizens.

Even though it is difficult to prove that a gang or association operates by violence, and thus could be banned, it has succeeded before with LTF and Bandidos, and therefore the government should try to get more of the gangs we know are violent banned.

Separately, the article includes opinion pieces from readers. Hans Jørgen Jensen from Skodsborg argues for the abolition of property valuations, calling them utopian. He suggests working with a basic land value tax and adjusting assessments based on concrete circumstances like proximity to the beach or forest, drawing on his experience as a real estate agent since 1972.

DR's documentary shows us that it is absolutely necessary to combat the criminal gangs with all we have, and limit their terrorizing of innocent people's lives.

Hans Kloster from Frederiksberg questions why the military's resources are not being utilized to build firebreaks and combat the severe forest fires in France, especially given the current high levels of military spending. He notes Denmark's deployment of "Bambi Bucket" helicopters but finds the military's absence in firefighting efforts puzzling. The article also touches upon FIFA's efforts to further capitalize on football, describing it as a commodity with immense global demand that appeals to emotions and the desire for experience.

Property valuations are based on a desire to relate to the properties' true market value, which is a utopian task.
