Sweden's 100 explosions this year: What's going on?

When three explosions took place in one night across different parts of Stockholm last month, it came as a shock to residents. There had been blasts in other city suburbs, but never on their doorstep.

Swedish police are dealing with unprecedented levels of attacks, targeting city centre locations too. The bomb squad was called to deal with 97 explosions in the first nine months of this year.

"I grew up here and you feel like that environment gets violated," says Joel, 22.

The front door of his apartment block in the central Stockholm neighbourhood of Sodermalm was blown out and windows were shattered along the street. Who is to blame?

This category of crime was not even logged prior to 2017. Then, in 2018, there were 162 explosions and in the past two months alone the bomb squad have been called to almost 30.

"Bangers, improvised explosives and hand grenades" are behind most of the blasts, says Linda H Straaf, head of intelligence at Sweden's National Operations Department.

The attacks are usually carried out by criminal gangs to scare rival groups or their close friends or family, she says.

I blame cultural enrichment,,,,

[RightFighter]

Hmmmm...could it have anything to do with unfettered mass immigration? Nah, I guess that’s just crazy talk.

You are correct sir. That would be just crazy talk. 😁😆🤣👍👊

We imported thousands of Muslims to make the neighborhood more peaceful and now there’s bombs going off everywhere.

I blame global warming....

[Krosan]

Swedes are both remarkably stupid in some things (like allowing mass immigration) and remarkably smart in others (like making money). The latter is the only reason they haven’t collapsed yet, but once that productive generation retires ...

It isn't because the Swedes are stupid in any way. It is their government having been under the influence of the European globalists.

The immigration of Muslims was a plot to destroy what remained of Christianity (and nationalism) in Sweden and Europe.

It appears that Germany is the driving force of this, too...using the EU.

Bomb-a-dan is coming early this year?

[Krosan]

I think it is the other way around. The stupid voices from Sweden are influencing other European countries in negative way and the many successes Sweden has had in the past give these voices undue credibility. I see it all the time. People fooled by it say "if Sweden is so stupid then why are they so rich?" They are filthy rich and they are winning in things like pop culture with their ABBA and Roxette and being the producers behind hits for worldwide known artists like Britney Spears, Katy Perry or Taylor Swift. It's pretty insane how successful that one Swedish music producer Karl Martin Sandberg, who changed his name to Max Martin for the American market, is. Sweden has just 10m people! This is the list of his #1 hits. 1999 – "...Baby One More Time" (Britney Spears) 2000 – "It's Gonna Be Me" (NSYNC) 2008 – "I Kissed a Girl" (Katy Perry) 2008 – "So What" (P!nk) 2009 – "My Life Would Suck Without You" (Kelly Clarkson) 2009 – "3" (Britney Spears) 2010 – "California Gurls" (Katy Perry featuring Snoop Dogg) 2010 – "Teenage Dream" (Katy Perry) 2010 – "Raise Your Glass" (P!nk) 2011 – "Hold It Against Me" (Britney Spears) 2011 – "E.T." (Katy Perry featuring Kanye West) 2011 – "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" (Katy Perry) 2012 – "Part of Me" (Katy Perry) 2012 – "One More Night" (Maroon 5) 2012 – "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" (Taylor Swift) 2013 – "Roar" (Katy Perry) 2014 – "Dark Horse" (Katy Perry featuring Juicy J) 2014 – "Shake It Off" (Taylor Swift) 2014 – "Blank Space" (Taylor Swift) 2015 – "Bad Blood" (Taylor Swift featuring Kendrick Lamar) 2015 – "Can't Feel My Face" (The Weeknd) 2016 – "Can't Stop the Feeling!" (Justin Timberlake)

Swedes know what those explosions are, but are forbidden to speak openly about it.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Let me answer the question without even bothering to read the article:

Muslims. Muslims happened.

[ArcadeQuarters]

A complete mystery. Just can’t figure it out.

[duckman]

Mooslims gone wild.

[ronnie raygun]

To much free time on their hands, government supported illegal invaders the populace are forced to accept, Government control of everything

[Sirius Lee]

Surely it’s the Swedes! All those budding young Alfred Nobels trying to improve the formula.

[Pollster1]

This is odd, nothing like the beautiful and peaceful country that I saw when I visited several years ago. I cannot imagine what has changed.

[OttawaFreeper]

It couldn't be this person, could it?
