A sword-wielding masked attacker has killed a teacher and a pupil and seriously injured two others at a school in western Sweden.

A picture has emerged of what local media claims is the assailant posing for pictures with pupils shortly before the attack.

He is carrying a sword and dressed in a black trench coat, mask and helmet.

***Assailant being portrayed as right wing and anti-immigration***

Ever notice how in the Scandinavian countries a right wing anti-immigration nut always attacks their own citizens and not the immigrants?

Something not right about it.

Perhaps they mean right wing in the same vein as Hitler and the Nazis were Right Wing.

Sweden is far outpacing the world in per-capita sword violence, a serious conversation needs to be had.

I read the school name as Koran on the first glance and as far as Trollhattan goes, you couldn’t make that one up!

Apparently, some of the schoolchildren went up to him - thrilled by his dramatic costume - and wanted to carry the sword. Poor little kids.
