A man who displayed a placard accusing immigrants of group rape at an anti-racism rally has been convicted of agitation against an ethnic group.
During a March 2007 rally organized in the south west coast town of Ängelholm by SSU, the youth wing of the Social Democratic Party, the man was seen holding a sign reading, “While Swedish girls are being group raped by immigrant gangs the SSU is fighting racism.”
The man was arrested and eventually indicted on charges of agitation against an ethnic group, according to the Helsingborgs Dagblad newspaper.
During his trial, the man claimed he simply wanted to point out the absurdity of holding a demonstration against racism and hoped the sign would spark debate. He asserted he was simply expressing an opinion, which is a right afforded to him under the European Convention on Human Rights.
But District Prosecutor Lars Danielsson disagreed, arguing that the man “expressed disrespect for a group of people with reference to their national or ethnic background.”
The court agreed with Danielsson, fining the man 4000 kronor ($650).
In its decision, the court found the placard made gross generalizations that immigrants are inclined to rape Swedish girls, which falls under the legal definition of disrespect.
The court furthermore rejected the man’s free speech argument by pointing out that he could have expressed his opinions in a manner other than wandering around the Ängelholm central square on a Saturday morning carrying an offensive sign, and that even the human rights convention has its limits.
He’s telling the truth.
But they’re...they’re infidels!
So much for free speech in Eurabia.
The ugly fact is that throughout the world, there are many nations where gang-rape is used against white women (in particular) - Australia, South AFrica, Sweden, US.
drifting to commmmie “paradise”
This will be what we have in America in a few years. Our freedom of speech, our freedom of religion and our right to private property are rapidly being eroded.
Yeah, he could have stayed home and talked to the walls. As long as he spoke quietly so that the neighbors couldn't hear him.
We all need to love Big Brother.
Is it some how different if Sharpton and Jackson make a living from it?

The only thing offensive about that is it’s true.
“there are many nations where gang-rape is used against white women...”
Who perpetrates these crimes, i.e. finish your though!
>> gross generalizations that immigrants are inclined to rape Swedish girls [fall] under the legal definition of disrespect.
The rape itself is, however, perfectly acceptable to the Swedes.
(Provided it’s a gang of Muslims raping a Swedish girl, or an honor rape, or the victim “asked for it” by not wearing a hajib, &etc)
Today that would be a dangerous act. The danger comes from the Muslim immigrants, not the Norwegians nor the Swedish of which this article refers.
The most dangerous act that I ever committed in Norway was getting between a Norwegian and a drink. Most of the time I got to it first. The Norwegians and Sweds are good people. They do not deserve what has happened to them in the name of political correctness!
Room 101!
Many Swedish women consider any kind of sex with any man to be “rape.” At the same time, though, they’ll invite the rest of the anti-Sweden immigrants in.
Something gets lost in the translation here. If we could see the original in Swedish it might help. Otherwise I have to conclude their prosecutors and judges are too ignorant to deserve an income.
Exactly, that’s what’s so offensive about it. Lies, slander, obscenity and blasphemy would be OK. His sign was a simple statement of fact, but it ‘offended’ someone!
