Sweden's Supreme Court (Högsta Domstolen - HD) is to consider whether wielding a baseball bat in a public place is against the law.
The case in question concerns a man in Malmö, convicted and fined 1,200 kronor ($184) by the district court in the city for the illegal possession of a dangerous object.
In his defence the man argued that he was using the baseball bat to hit balls for his dog to chase.
Furthermore he argued in his testimony that as he had previous been assaulted on two occasions he felt safer in the knowledge that he had a baseball bat with him in the passenger seat of his car.
According to Swedish law the possession of dangerous items such as knives, and other weapons "designed to be used as a weapon in crimes against life or limb", are not permitted in a public place.
The defendant in the case has argued that a baseball bat is not covered by the law and pointed out that it has a number of other uses.

Buy a 2 or 3 cell MagLite. When they outlaw MagLites, only outlaws will have MagLites

You save a little money with the IKEA bats, but you have to do a lot of the work yourself.

How about the ball and the dog? The dog could have rabies and the ball could hit you in the head causing instant death. Plus while catching the ball, one might trip and die from falling. The swedish courts have a lot to answer for. (sarc/)
How’s that weapons control thingie workin’ out for you Swedes?
To think that once upon a time these people were Vikings.

How did a baseball bat wind up in Sweden?
(But 750mm swords are okay.)

What about cricket bats?
The Christian ex-Vikings will soon have their welfare state slurped up by the Muslims, who will eventually have 100% of their nation.
The politically correct slide of the West o dhimmitude is right on cue.
All the ones with balls sailed to Dublin or Labrador or Kiev.
With this lunacy, am I to assume that Chuck Norris is not allowed to roam their streets?
I would guess that there are no juries allowed in the Swedish “justice” system.
Malmo is the South-Central, the Watts, of Sweden. While Sweden as a whole has been more or less giving muzzie haters the run of the country, Malmo has taken things up 10 or 20 notches; REAL Swedish are dying to be tolerated by the leeches who are outspoken about having blown into town for the social benefits and leggy blonde girls.
There are schools in Malmo where there are less than 1% whites, and often for routine calls the cops must send TWO cars, not one; one car handles the call, and the other guard must guard the unattended police vehicle. If they don’t do this, the car will be destroyed when the responding cops return.
Muzzie hobby in Malmo: burning down (one’s own) school.
Malmo perfectly shows the rape of the world’s most beautiful, tolerant and productive people by the world’s most ugly, intolerant, fatalistic, and idle.
