frd: Oh jeez.. I really hate that political correctness notion, lets call things how they are
He was just joking, frd. Nothing more, nothing less.
frd: MareGaea do you think such situation might worsen Dutch point of view on Polish people in Netherlands? Or are such cases rare enough to go though without any kind of echo in the society.
No, I don't think that this will worsen the view on Poles in my country. Most smart ppl know that within any ppl there are good and there are bad ones. Not so smart ppl will of course point fingers immediately, but they would do so with just about any nationality, if you catch my drift. And as far as this guy committing his crime(s) (let's not jump to conclusions just yet - for now it's only sure that he committed the burglary on which he was caught red handed) in the Netherlands, well, he is a criminal, he probably has committed crimes in PL too. I don't think it really matters to guys like that where they commit their crimes.
The crime spree I was referring to happened a few years ago and was committed by a Polish gang who robbed houses and then loaded the loot into a truck to sell it back home. The spree was orchestrated from within PL. I will see if I can get some English languaged material on it. But they all got caught by co-ordinated police actions from the Dutch, German and Polish police and they are all in jail now, some in PL, some in NL.

M-G (most Dutch ppl know that Poles are hard workers and there is still this gratuity towards the Polish soldiers who liberated part of NL in WW2, so don't worry about that, my friend and it's actually amazing how well Polish ppl who live in NL have adapted to Dutch life...That is, they seem to have trouble learning the Dutch language, for which I don't blame them - it's a freaking hard language to learn)
