Drunk PVV MP warned after row in bar

Thursday 24 September 2009

An MP for Geert Wilders' anti-immigration party PVV has been given a verbal warning after reportedly hitting a barman who refused to give him any more to drink.

The Volkskrant reports that Hero Brinkman, who was a policeman in Amsterdam for 20 years, became angry after the barman in the parliamentary press centre in The Hague refused to serve him because he was drunk.

He then tried to force his way behind the bar to help himself, causing the barman to hit the alarm button to warn security.

According to the Telegraaf, Brinkman hit the barman in the face. Brinkman is the party's spokesman on home affairs, which includes law and order.

The chairman of the Nieuwspoort press centre Max van Weezel told the Volkskrant Brinkman had apologised to the barman who is considering pressing charges.

it is very expected,, in general, Racists are suffering lots of personality disorders, caused a lot by Drug/alcohol abuse more than others,,,their inimicality is a form of angry internal rejection or denial subconsciousness is against anyone,(even themselves), not only towards who are different than them

@Zoser: Great job of demonizing someone merely because you disagree with their point of view.

Feh.

Brinkmann demonises himself. He doesn't need help from Zoser.

Brinkmann does a great job of demonizing himself it seems to me...

If he was standing he was not too drunk....Gotta get out there and track down those dope smokers

Agreed, he is demonizing himself, that there is a corelation between him being a thug and being a member of a party of thugs is probable but not conclusive.

@Feh: Strange !!! The PVV is demonizing a lot of people,, but if someone of (the sons of the black duck,lol) open the mouth,, It is demonizing because of the disagreement with them !!! I said my opinion based on scientific analysis,,, not even based on the freedom of speech

"Demonizing" is just the right-wing's way of shutting up the opposition whenever they make them look bad.
The PVV itself has no problem "demonizing" everyone else around them.
Double standards.

This isn't the first time Brinkman has misbehaved and I'm sure it won't be the last.
A verbal warning is ridiculous. If I started punching bartenders in the face I wouldn't be so lucky.

so, people against problems associated with immigration = thug, and especially if they drink. What does it make a person that chants "Hamas, Hamas- Jews to the gas, and beat up gays in Amsterdam ?

How can these bigots lead the country or maintain law and order when they are not fit!
