Clashes erupted late Monday in a small Dutch town during violent protests against the planned opening of a centre for asylum seekers, Dutch media and officials said.
In a repeat of scenes seen in several Dutch towns and villages since late last year amid growing tensions over record numbers of migrants, police intervened to disperse about 1,000 people who rallied in central Heesch.

Here's a vid.
Police blocked of all access roads and nobody was allowed in or out.
Well, looks like this town saved itself for now, I don't think these current plans are going to come to fruition.
Unfortunately they will probably just place more in even smaller communities that can put up less of a fight.
Things are messed up over here.

Wow , you know things are bad when the Dutch start rioting , although those involved were Geert Wilders supporters so perhaps not that surprising.
Because direct action tends to lead to the destruction of innocent peoples property , cars set light , windows broken and such like.
You make it sound like there is something wrong with that party's ideology.
"Jordan is Palestine," said Wilders, who heads the third-largest party in Holland. "Changing its name to Palestine will end the conflict in the Middle East and provide the Palestinians with an alternate homeland."
"If Jerusalem falls into the hands of the Muslims, Athens and Rome will be next. Thus, Jerusalem is the main front protecting the West. It is not a conflict over territory but rather an ideological battle, between the mentality of the liberated West and the ideology of Islamic barbarism," he said.

Never trust a politician.
The governments of Europe are deaf to the voices of their people
I said that he is the only one speaking the truth about the situation.
Yes, controlled by the liberals, leftists and socialists, the people you vote for.
He's using the politics of fear just like other right wing party leaders , yes there's a problem but Wilders and his kind aren't the answer.
I'm British so didn't vote for the governments experiencing problems or the European parliament robots , we're outside the schengen zone and have better control of our border.
What is your strategy? Wait and see?
Right, so easy for you to criticise rightwing sentiment from your "safe"zone.
Schengen needs to be suspended and borders reinstated. Illegal migrants should be returned to their country of origin , if it's not safe to do that they should be held until it is. People rescued at sea trying to make the journey should be returned not brought into Europe.
Safe from the current influx perhaps but we have a long history of offering asylum , we have also seen unprecedented migration from Europe , something we have no control over , in my town the second language is Polish where 10 years ago it was Urdu , we know about migration.
