Wtf is going on in Sweden

Post by Dolan »

This just happened a few hours ago, I think -- a police station from Malmo got attacked with hand grenades:
https://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/a/21 ... -stockholm

What is weird is that virtually no major media is reporting this, except RT and the Daily express, which are not the most credible sources of news, but nobody else is reporting it (why):
https://www.rt.com/news/416221-malmo-ha ... de-police/

Australian who moved to Sweden to be with his girlfriend gets randomly stabbed to death in a public square:

A few days ago there was another knife attack, which left another Swede dead:

Then two people died after a grenade incident:
http://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-42597802

Some time ago there was an attempted arson attack on a synagogue:

There was another one in Gotheborg too, mentioned in this article:
https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News ... spx/240318
Swedish authorities have failed to protect the country’s Jewish community, the Scandinavian country’s ambassador to Israel admitted Friday following anti-Semitic incidents in Malmo and in Gothenburg, JTA reports.
The ambassador, Magnus Hellgren, made the comments in an interview for the Israeli daily Makor Rishon following an attempted torching of the Gothenburg synagogue and cries about killing Jews in Malmo.


Last year hackers played ISIS propaganda on the radio:

Swedish PM threatens to send the army against gangs wreaking havoc in Sweden

What's striking is that perpetrators are never named, it's like there's an active and deliberate effort to hide the identity of those who commit these knife attacks. I didn't know that Sweden had a culture of knife violence until now (just as I didn't know the UK had an acid attack culture until recently). Why are Swedish people so ashamed of admitting they are really violent?

@zoom , @Gendarme are you guys ok? Did you stockpile fish cans and water in preparation for the trench warfare that Sweden seems to be headed to?

More violence than this happens in Chicago on a weekly basis and yet no one cares cause it's largely black people, but when white people are attacked by minorities, everyone throws a shit fit.

Wew, I am not even searching this shit, it just keeps popping on random news feeds. And yeah, we already know the USA is a warzone. That's why Chicago is called Chiraq, Chicongo and other fun names.

Yeah Chicago is bad. It needs a lot of help. Most violence everywhere is bad.

It's nowhere near as bad as you'd think, but it is a lot worse than it was ten or fifteen years ago. In the entirity of Gothenburg, there used to be a few shootings per year. Now, there's one or two per week. Consider this is still about one millionth of the U.S scenario. Joining the EU has a lot to do with this, failed integration just as much, and immigration less so.

This is part and parcel of living in big cities; don't be silly. Millions of people around the world die in war, starvation, and disease each year, and you worry about getting just a bit stabbed? The least you can do is to get killed and negate some of the inequality.

Dolan you fucking bigot.

What a wonderful thread here on ESOC. Glad it doesn't mention pool chemicals, then it would get locked instantly!

There's nothing really wrong with the thread itself albeit a bit silly of Dolan and so far, by what might be regarded as the single greatest example of irony, zoi is the only one to respond in a serious and well-thought nature.

My concern with the thread is the apparent lack of questions it asks and more so the not-so-subtle implication it possesses.

Well a few years ago I was working and living in Brussels (Belgium). Then, when my contract ended, I left Brussels and returned to my country. After a year or two, the metro station where I used to switch lines while going downtown got attacked with a bomb. 14 were killed, hundreds were wounded.

Damn, I'm glad I don't live in a developed Western country anymore and risk seeing my limbs flying in the air, while I'm just walking through a subway station. :^)

You know, it's just regular crime, mane, nothing out of the ordinary:

It's not that great, but at least you don't risk dying from random terror attacks and don't have to constantly apologise for being who you are.

Shit will escalate quite rapidly though, and then it may very well be too late to move there. This shit has just begun. :/

You might be exaggerating a tiny bit, also why would you need to apologize for being who you are :?
