When I first read this, I thought I was reading something straight out of The Onion.

”Our ambition is really to do as little as possible,” Stockholm Chief of Police Mats Löfving explained to the Swedish newspaper Expressen on Tuesday.

..... By doing so we minimize the risk of having rocks thrown at us.”

Oh my....

Check. This has got to be satire. I know that political correctness and radical femininism has pussified Sweden´s men but things can’t be this bad. Can they?

What a perfect snapshot of the European mind. Acceptance of slavery is next.

I’m sure there are a few Muslims that would write her a ticket for being pretty, and uncovered in a Muslim zone.

Pretty good display of what happens to a society when the men are all feminized. Even the natural self-preservation instincts are gone...

Will America yet again ignore history?

Seeing this reminds my of the ‘revenue collectors’ parking enforcement in San Francisco. They wait for the meter to click and 3 seconds later, your vehicle gets tagged.

I read an article the other day explaining how the police halted their noninterference policy to round up and disperse natural Swedish citizens intent on protecting their property.

That's cold blooded!!!

Hey, Swedish officials:
How ‘bout, you leave the victims alone that had their CARS BURNED and open up a machine gun on the violent rabid thugs that are throwing rocks and burning cars?!?!?!?!?!

In this country we used to hang horse thieves, seems like someone who willfully steals or destroys a car should receive the same punishment.

”We go to the crime scenes, but when we get there we stand and wait,” elaborated Lars Byström, the media relations officer of the Stockholm Police Department. ”If we see a burning car, we let it burn if there is no risk of the fire spreading to other cars or buildings nearby. By doing so we minimize the risk of having rocks thrown at us.”

A famous writer described a system where the government vigorously punishes the law abiding for small infractions, but ignores serious crimes. If anyone can help refresh my memory as to what this was called, I would appreciate it.

I think some thing like “authoritarian anarchy” but a search on that comes up dry.

So they are ignoring violence in order to minimize violence. Should work out well.

Isn’t that Ayn Rand? I don’t remember the book, though.

Makes perfect sense to a euroweenie: The cops suppress the “vigilantes” bent on protecting their communities and properties (after all, the “vigilantes” won’t throw rocks at them...), do nothing to stop the rioters (who will throw rocks), and ticket the wreckage.

BTW: I read somewhere, that the damage to the autos are probably not covered by insurance...
