Swedish Ambulance Workers Want Body Armor Against Machete Attacks

Oddly enough Swedish ambulance workers didn’t need body armor or have to worry about machete attacks before the place became so very diversified. (via Religion of Peace)

“‘- There have been so many incidents. There has been everything from shootings to people with machetes and people smashing ambulances or trying to attack the ambulance staff. We are not safe to the extent we have previously been,’ says Henrik Johansson, president of the Ambulance Association to Dagens Medicin.

He explains that the organisation wants that the alarm center and ambulances should have access to the same information that police have on people who are likely to be violent or have weapons. But the union also wants to introduce what Henrik Johansson calls tactical units.

‘- Emergency Medic teams that are ready to enter a hot spot. They should have riot helmet, bulletproof vest and shin guards. They should have equipment relevant for working in such an environment. They of course also should have a gas mask.

So they will more or less look like the riot police?

‘- No, the military, I would rather like to say.’”

Sweden recognized “Palestine” but it’s the one under occupation.

They need to take a lesson from the US MARINE History; Why do you think they’re called LEATHERNECKs?

But but but Swen there’s nothing to worry about; your government has just recognized Palestine, so Swen what are you talking about?

The Marines who went to Libya in 1805 had leather around their neck collars, to protect them from the Barbary pirates’ scimitars.

Hence, their nickname—Leathernecks.

Took the Swedes only 210 years to catch on.

The Viking spirit is gone.

Reminds me of fire crews being fired on in the Bronx, within living memory.

I am sure you all realize the thugs behind these attacks represent no faith, least of all the Muslim faith? Not here in Sweden, not in France, not in Israel, not in Iraq/Syria, not in nowhere.
