Kim Schmock goes over the edge – and the police still do nothing
Saturday the 4th of July started out as a lovely sunny day, but it turned out to be a day unleashing violence and law-breaking against the peaceful residents of Bhoga.
On that day, Hans and Mariah (two of the residents of Bhoga – a farm house in Vejby) were enjoying the warm weather in the farm, together with one of their friends, Martin, who had come to visit. All three are yoga teachers from Natha Yogacenter. A few other friends who had stopped by for lunch were at the beach a few miles away. In that peaceful atmosphere, the worries of the constant harassment by Kim Schmock seemed far away.
It has been difficult times for the residents of Bhoga. On the 10th of March this year, Kim Schmock broke into the house with two other men, took all of the residents things out of the house and changed the locks, locking the legal tenants out. Much of the private belongings were damaged, doors were broken, and several objects were missing, including thousands of Danish crowns, legal documents and private bank papers. When the occupants tried to move back in, Kim tried to stop them with force. Eventually, the police arrived and after reading the court's decision on the case of the residents of Bhoga, they installed the tenants back in and forced Kim to leave. Since then, Kim has been coming often to Bhoga, lurking around the house, watching through the windows and harassing the inhabitants who became increasingly scared of violence from him. The police has not done much, saying that they will speak with him, and that if he comes back again they will take action, but those proved to be empty promises and in the end lies.
Back to that Saturday – it seemed like the perfect summer day of relaxation for the residents of Bhoga, but the quiet was all too short-lived. At around 17:30, a gang of 7 drunk, tattoo covered men carrying iron bars and lead by Kim Schmock arrived at the house. The gang began breaking through one of the windows with a crow-bar. Hans and Martin came outside to speak with Kim but were violently beaten by the hooligans who were being instigated by Kim. Martin tried to film the attackers, but then he was attacked again by the men, under Kim's orders, being strangled, dragged on the floor, beaten in the head, almost breaking his right arm and leg. The camera was pried from his hands by the assailants, damaged and the tape was destroyed. One of the men chased Martin with an iron bar threatening to kill him.
The gang broke in through the window and invaded the house, where Mariah was left alone and unprotected in front of the aggression of Kim and his bullies. Kim ordered his crew to break all the locks from the doors, and when Hans and Martin try to prevent that, they were attacked again.
Just as Martin and Hans were beaten by the hooligans, supervised by Kim, the police arrived at the scene and the violence stopped. To the residents' shock and surprise, the police are not willing to do anything to punish the attackers or to protect the inhabitants from further aggression. No complaints are filed, Kim and his gang are allowed to stay, and the police find it sufficient to ask them to behave. The residents ask the police to at least stay and ensure that the violence doesn't continue, but the police reply that they have to leave because ''they have more important things to do''. Thus the police leave the scene of the crime without doing anything, leaving behind a mob of 7 drunk and violent men, alone with their victims – 2 men in need of medical treatment and a woman in shock.
This decision of the police is particularly alarming on the background that for several months the inhabitants of Bhoga have been complaining about Kim's repeated aggression and have been warning the police against him and asking for their protection, yet the police have been only stalling any action. The residents have even warned then about exactly the kind of event that happened on the July 4th , knowing Kim's methods, and still the police have done nothing. As we can seen, the results of the passivity of the police were not late to follow. Indeed, the warnings of the residents were well-grounded. Still, even after Kim broke-in to the house along with 6 drunk men armed with iron bars, had severely beaten inhabitants and guests in the house (yoga teachers from Natha), had destroyed private property and threatened the people with death – the police did nothing to protect the life and property of the legal tenants. It is alarming to note that the level of Kim's aggression is continuously escalating – from harassing to breaking in, to severely beating and who knows what he would have done if the police had arrived later then they did. Due to the frightful escalation of the violence of Kim, we must pertinently inquire: what are the police waiting for? What would be needed to wake them into action to fulfill their duty of protecting the people of Bhoga? Do they have to wait until there is no one left to protect? If such a terrible event comes true, the police would not be able to say that they were not warned and implored to help!
The events continue to unfold under the irresponsible decisions of some local policemen:
Luckily for the unprotected occupants of Bhoga, shortly after the police left, there arrived at the farm the friends who were at the beach - and were unaware of the situation because they had no telephone signal - as well as some friends who came urgently from Copenhagen after hearing about the events. Kim's gang of troublemakers began to leave the premises, leaving behind them a large pile of empty cider-cans and a vandalized house with no locks and several broken doors. Now Hans and Martin could finally be rushed to the hospital by one of the visitors, and the rest of the guests were comforting Mariah and fixing the doors and locks, shutting the entrances to the house to prevent the danger of the attackers returning. As it turned out, Kim Schmock was still around the house and tried to force his way back in, at some point even attacking one of the guests with a screw-driver and hurting his thigh. Yet the people at the farm, who were now Mariah's only defense against this psychopath, acted without any violence, not raising a hand in attack even when they were attacked.
In a typical display of psychopathic behavior, Kim calls the police and complains that he is being attacked. The friends of the residents are left with their jaws dropped at this display of treachery, yet they had the faith that the police will easily discern the reality. No one expected what was to follow.
The police arrive promptly at the house and their leader did not seem interested at all to talk with the residents, speaking only with Kim. On the other hand they are aggressive to the friends of the residents, shouting at them. One policeman, when observing that he is being filmed by one of the guests accompanying Mariah, a Jewish tourist from Israel, shouts at him aggressively, even though the tourist explained that he doesn't understand Danish. The policeman tried to snatch the camera away from him by force, and then grabbed him violently by the neck and hand and pushed him out of the premises, even though the tourist did not resist. All this was done without offering any explanation.
When the police entered the house they shouted and cursed at the guests inside – several times calling them ‘idiots’ and ‘stupid’. They sprayed two of them in the eyes with pepper-spray and threw all the guests out of the house, even though they did not show any violence or commit any offense.
The hopes of the shocked residents of Bhoga that the police would protect them against the aggression of Kim were finally shattered when the police announced their decision: Kim may stay in the house, while all the guests must leave under threat of imprisonment. This decision contradicted the court ruling that only the residents are allowed to live in the house while Kim has no right to stay. It was also in contradiction to the police decision from the 11th of March to send Kim away. It was in violation of the police promises to act against Kim if he disturbs the residents again. This decision was also not consistent with the attitude of the police earlier that day, when they refused to send Kim's crew of hooligans away after they had broken into the house and had beaten the people inside. The decision of the police was even more outrageous, considering the fact it meant that they were leaving an unprotected woman alone in the house with a psychopathic man who has spent the last months harassing her and who has just put her boyfriend in the hospital. The police were sending away the only people who could protect the frightened woman, leaving her to be alone with her attacker during the night, hundreds of meters away from the next house. We must ask – is this the way the police is protecting civilians from violence? If any harm came to Mariah, or any other inhabitant of Bhoga, wouldn't the police be held responsible?
Something must be done. We appeal to the police not to abandon the legal residents of Bhoga and to take action to protect them from the escalating violence of Kim. How far will he be allowed to go with his attacks? The writing is on the wall!
At the same time, one cannot ignore the responsibility of the news-paper Jyllands Posten for creating the conditions for this outburst of violence. The paper's ruthless and organized campaign against Natha Yoga center, it's deliberate attempt to create a hostile public opinion against members of the school – these were elements which encouraged Kim to lead this flagrant attack, believing that now the rights and lives of Natha's yogis are forfeit. It is clear that this brutality is a result of the planned campaign carried out by JP and under the instructions of certain elements that will soon be revealed.
It is interesting to point out that JP quoted Kim in their articles (as being one of the so-called ''ex-members of the school'') without mentioning at all his violent history and his personal interest concerning Bhoga. In doing so, JP showed similarities with the police who were also so ready to support Kim's claims which were not supported by any proof, while totally ignoring his obvious psychopathic pattern and violent actions and refusing to listen to the other side. One may ask, why is it that in their desperate campaign to manipulate anything they can to defame Natha, JP did not also raise the subject of Bhoga (who's ownership is currently the subject of a trial between Natha Yoga center and Kim Schmock)? Perhaps they left this issue out of the campaign so far because they knew that there were other plans being prepared for Bhoga.
It is also significant that the rampage of the 4th of July took place only 5 days after Natha announced on it's official site www.natha.dk that Mihai Stoian, the school's coordinating teacher, will keep a special lecture on the 16th of August, in which he will disclose some mechanisms of this media campaign and certain elements about the ones behind it. Obviously, someone does not want this information to reach the public!
The events which are unfolding testify that those who are running the campaign against Natha from the shadows wish to keep the lowest profile possible while in the same time perpetrating as many offenses as possible against the school. To their demise, their actions expose them to the light.
Nota Bene: We have received information that Kim is planning to make a false complaint to the police that the residents of Bhoga or their friends have supposedly beaten him, and to support this lie he is willing to stage his own injuries. From such a psychopath, behavior like this doesn't surprise us.
