'A different Sweden': Gang shootings loom large in vote
France 24 ^

Posted on 09/06/2022 4:22:59 AM PDT by FarCenter

Gang shootings have escalated and spread across Sweden in recent years, with authorities struggling to contain the war-like violence that now tops voters' concerns ahead of Sunday's general election.

"This is my son, Marley, when he was 19 years old", Maritha Ogilvie tells AFP, holding a framed photo of a smiling young man, one of many that adorn the walls of her Stockholm apartment.

"He was shot in the head sitting in a car with a friend", says the 51-year-old.

The killing, on March 24, 2015 in Varby gard, a disadvantaged concrete suburb southwest of Stockholm, has never been resolved and the case was closed 10 months later.

Murders like these are usually settlings of scores between rival gangs often controlled by immigrant clans, according to police, and increasingly taking place in public places in broad daylight.

The violence is primarily attributed to battles over the drug and weapons market and personal vendettas.

It has escalated to the point where Sweden -- one of the richest and most egalitarian countries in the world -- now tops the European rankings for fatal shootings.

According to a report published last year by the National Council for Crime Prevention, among 22 countries with comparable data only Croatia had more deadly shootings, and no other country posted a bigger increase than Sweden in the past decade.

Diversity is strength! Poverty, disease, and crime imported by the communists and multinational corporations. Disgusting.

In Sweden, it’s worse than “get woke go broke.”

30 years of woke immigration from 3rd world moslem nations has made Sweden “the rape capital of Europe.”

And America’s borders are wide open.

In a way it was self inflicted.

Paraphrasing Wilkow:

You can’t bring there to here without here becoming there.

The polls show Sweden will most likely have an evenly divided government, therefore, nothing will get done.

The more conservative groups are splitting the anti-immigrant vote while the socialists hold an advantage and will probably create a coalition to be in control.

Nothing will change and Sweden will continue spiraling around the hole where poop goes.

“..a large black market for weapons”

More of “when guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns”.
It is a hopelessly ignorant and naïve fallacy that the United States and Canada can have safer streets if only they would adopt European (outside of Switzerland) style gun control laws.

The anti-immigration, right-wing “Sweden Democrats” are surging in the polls.

All the political parties in Sweden are “welcoming”. But one.

The Swedish Democrats.

And that party is treated like Trump is in the media.

And much of the media is State controlled.

The rest fall in line.

Don’t believe any of the Swedish media about Centrist or Right Wing. They are all liberal when it comes to immigration.

We will see. So far the Sweden Democrats have done a good job shifting the Overton Window to the Right.

Swedish politics ‘volatile and unpredictable’ ahead of weekend elections

Experts warn that far-right Sweden Democrats shifted entire country’s politics to the right
voters.

Some people can recognize evil and avoid it without having to experience it themselves. They are called "smart people"

Some can't. They are called "stupid people." Swedes are in this category.

I like the philosophy in this article, below. In the end, there is no Right or Left. There is only the question

“Do you desire the safety and prosperity of your regular countrymen? Or are you in the pay of the globalists and multinational corporations? “
