'Youths' Riot in Sweden (Media refuse to tell us what they share in common...)
American Thinker ^ | 05/24/2013 | Peter Wilson

In addition to the horrendous beheading of a British soldier in Woolwich by Muslim terrorists, Stockholm's suburbs have seen riots for the last four nights, with car burnings and crowds throwing rocks at the police, reminiscent of the recurring riots in France.

Who are these rioters? The story on the Huffington Post has the following descriptions: "Gangs of youth... Around 50 youths...The youths set light to a parking garage... masked youths hurling rocks.... One policeman was attacked by youths."

On the Bloomberg article with a link on Drudge, the rioters are described as "stone-throwing youths." The Washington Post: "Some 200 youths hurled rocks at police...Six youths were arrested."

As for the neighborhood, Huffington reports:

Around 80 percent of the roughly 11,000 people living in Husby - a drab, low-income neighborhood of apartment blocks west of Stockholm - are first or second generation immigrants. "I understand that people react like this," said Rami Al-Khamisi from the organization Megafonen, which represents citizens in Stockholm's suburbs.

The New York Times has a short piece, which refers only to "riots in immigrant neighborhoods."

Bloomberg notes: "The suburb is home to about 12,000 people, 60 percent of whom were born outside the Nordic country... Police are working to identify more rioters, many of whom were masked."

So all we know is that these rioting "citizens" were young masked "youths" who were "first or second generation immigrants." Which countries might they have come from? It's under investigation, and anyway, it's irrelevant because, Bloomberg assures us, "this is about a few criminal youths, not entire neighborhoods."

Burned down a police station last night. Now it’s two schools as well.

Simple solution to the problem.

Introduce the rioting “Youths” to the wonders of the 6.5X55 Swedish Mauser.

Their identity and motivation really is a puzzle, isn't it?

We have a similar unsolved mystery right here in America.

“Youths” has become so PC, it’s now a hate speech code word.

There ought to be a law . . . no, wait . .

European liberalism has no answer for aggressive religious fanatics. Europe will be a caliphate of wife beaters.

But but but but... Sweden is a Socialist paradise, and the primary example of success used by those who refuse to believe that Socialism always leads to decay and death. This simply must be more media lies.

I see a 40 year old “youth” with a receding hairline in the picture.

The Liberal answer to what the “youths” have in common — The youths are all Swedish. Just as Swedish as Magnus and Sven.

They don’t look ‘youths’ either.

Nicely tanned Swedes. They also seem confused about which flag is that of their mother country.

Wife still watches TV news, I don’t. She came into the den frothing at the mouth because some idiot commentator referred to the soldier being beheaded as “being accosted”. Told her that’s why I no longer watch.

I wiped the froth away a long time ago. No use going to an early grave over the PC B/S on TV.
