Bere: It's hard to translate.. It's a spoof on a famous saying about not throwing stones, when you yourself live in a house of glass. Literally, it says "Don't throw stones, if you yourself live on Nørrebro."
- presumably, it refers to the many incidents with demonstrations getting out of hand in the part of Copenhagen called Nørrebro. They've had a history of ending with stonethrowings.
1: We have an old saying (roughly translated): "Stupid are he who throw stones at other people when living in a house of glass"
2: You might remember this photo from the fights in Copenhagen in March between left wing demonstrators and the police:

The fights took place in the part of Copenhagen called Nørrebro.
The text on the T-shirt brings these two together, something like this: "Stupid is he who throw stones when living on Nørrebro"
This is an example of danish humor very often misunderstod by non-danish.
I hope this helps you, and I hope others on 23 will join in if my translation sucks :-)
