Sixth Night of Violence in Sweden (Media spin defenders as "far right vigilantes")
http://www.cnbc.com ^ | 25 May 2013 | David Crouch Gothenburg

Rioting spread to several Swedish towns on Friday night as police stepped up arrests during a sixth night of unrest and far-right vigilantes chased non-whites in southern Stockholm.

In Linköping, central southern Sweden, police responded to 120 incidents as cars, caravans and two schools were set alight. At one point a blazing truck was rolled into a building, which caught fire.

"We see the night's events as an offshoot of what has happened in the Stockholm area in recent days," local police told Swedish television.

In Orebro, 120km west of Stockholm, police were stoned after cars and a school were torched. In Uppsalla, north of Stockholm, there was minor violence.

In Stockholm, police made 18 arrests - the largest number since the disturbances broke out last Sunday night in the northern suburb of Husby a week after an elderly immigrant was shot dead by police. The violence appears to have been sparked by young, second-generation immigrants from north Africa and the Middle East angered by racism and social exclusion.

Thank you, Sherlock Holmes!

What else could they call them?The far left doesn’t have the stones to defend ANYTHING,so folks defending their families and homes must be far right people.

The left will defend abortion. They will defend unbridled state power. They will defend "multiculturalism" right up to the point that it kills them and their families.

Not since 1776 has the Second Amendment been so important to American citizens. Our government wants us disarmed as fervently as it has flooded our country with those who wish us harm.

Total opinion/advocacy dumped into an alleged "news" story.

Okay, sorry. To us perhaps not.

The thing that impresses me is the the Swiss are armed. I believe there is a high level of readiness should any one desire to cross their borders.

Am I wrong with regard to that?

No offense intended. I just find it amusing the way some mix up Sweden and Switzerland, Slovakia and Slovenia, Austria and Australia, etc.

Used to live in New Mexico, and a remarkable number of Americans think it’s a foreign country from the US.

The Muslims in Sweden are there for asylum mainly. I dont know if Its true but I heard they rioted because of lack of employment, housing, and disrespect from the police but knowing how they operate the truth is probably to create and instability in the region to bring authority into question so the can start to redefine their culture and take over the region.

what would happen if the defenders got proactive and started “rioting” in the mooselimb areas of town? You know, take the fight to them....

The real rulers of Sweden would call out the military to kill the Swedish people attacking the poor, helpless immigrants.

They should get their hardware in the Czech Republic and Serbia. I see great opportunities for the average entrepreneur.

It’s time for all the Swedes to Viking Up! They’ve now seen what the future holds for there children and grandchildren — and far worse as the Swedes numbers dwindle and the invaders numbers increase. Europeans must reclaim their lands now.

People may feel uneasy about Golden Dawn in Greece, but at least Golden Dawn is looking out for the interests of the Greek people in their native land — and that’s exactly why Golden Dawn is gaining so much support.

The REAL Swede’s defending Sweden are being called Neo-Nazi’s...sounds a lot like the Bummer, Holder, Janet Nappy attempt to portray anyone opposing their Kommie/Nazi govt.
