// Hopefully there isn’t a backlash against Muslims over this incident. //

I know it's sarcasm, but funny you should say that. From article:

Miss Johansson says she had been enjoying her evening at Babel night club on Saturday when she felt a tug on her handbag and turned around to face a man she did not recognise.
'I turned around and then I felt his hand on my bottom and between my legs,' she told Aftonbladet.
After rebuking the man, whom she describes as 5ft 10in in his mid-20s with dark hair, he punched her in the face with a closed fist.
Saying she did not want to escalate the situation, Miss Johansson and her friend moved to leave the club, at which point the man hit her with a bottle on the left side of her head, breaking it.

Guy HITS her, **no one** around her responds, her thought - and that of onlookers as well? - is "Don't make a scene! Don't escalate it, ignore it, LEAVE, they'll leave you alone."

Showing once again, on an individual as well as societal level, appeasement does not help. Nasty business.

“So, Sven, what did you think when you saw that beautiful Swedish woman brutally attacked and injured?”

“Sven?”

“Where’d Sven go?”

Similar things happen at nightclubs in the US.

In CCW training, they often tell you NOT to get involved in “domestic” disputes. To often it is “I want you and him to fight”.

So when I was of the age to go to places like this, we didn’t respond UNLESS it escalated beyond a certain point. Most often, you let the guys paid to do it handle the idiots. Charging in as a white knight is a great way to end up arrested, beaten, or dead.

Another thing I learned is that if you don’t want to fight, don’t go to the zoo. Be aware of your surroundings, and if you don’t want to be eaten don’t act like food.

Sweden is not a safe place to go out in. The cops are to used to dealing with other Swedes and such. They are not trained to respond to acts of violence. If this happened in say, Texas or the Midwest it would be front page news on how we don’t accept muslims.
