Teens Roam Streets With Rifles As Crime Swamps Sweden
The Times (UK) ^ | 1-21-2018 | Bojan Pancevski, Malmo

Stabbed in the neck by an asylum seeker

The blast was so powerful that it shook windows a mile away. Ahmad’s first thought was that someone had thrown yet another bomb at the police.

He was right. On Wednesday night an explosive device was hurled at the police station in Rosengard, a troubled area of Malmo, Sweden’s third largest city.

Attacks on the police are increasingly frequent. Rosengard’s force works from a black fortress of reinforced concrete with narrow windows and a 10ft-high electric fence.

“I knew it was a bomb again,” said Ahmad, 53, who lives in the area with his wife and their four teenage children.

Sweden is among the world’s safest, richest and best-run countries enjoying steady growth and rising employment. But it has been experiencing an unprecedented surge of bombings and sexual assaults.

In a country of 10m people, more than 320 shootings and dozens of bombings were reported in 2017, along with more than 110 murders and 7,226 rapes — a 10% increase on 2016. More than 36% of young Swedish women say they feel unsafe at night.

The authorities have admitted they are unable to investigate rape cases immediately because the resources are focused on gang crime. “We are forced to choose between two evils,” the police said.

The crime surge is mainly confined to so-called “areas of social exclusion”, a code for neighbourhoods such as Rosengard that are predominantly populated by immigrants. They are not classic ghettos — the infrastructure and services are better than in areas of central London — but these communities are plagued by high crime rates and unemployment.

In Malmo, where a fifth of the 340,000 inhabitants are under 18, children as young as 14 roam the streets with Kalashnikov assault rifles and bulletproof vests.

Cleansing.

Sweden needs a rapid and thorough cleansing.

Start by bulldozing every mosque.

Gee, I don’t understand. Don’t they have gun control laws in Sweden? Or maybe those are just for the native Swedes?

I think I heard that they have lots of guns. Unfortunately, they also have lots of muslim immigrants.

They shouldn’t have given away all their 6,5 x 55 Mausers to us. On the other hand,.., Thank you Sweden.

Strict laws, can’t use except for hunting etc. But they do have guns.

http://www.sweden.org.za/gun-laws-in-sweden.html

“A Swede may be given a license to own up to six hunting rifles, ten pistols or a combination of eight rifles and pistols.”

How’s the multiculturalist utopia working out for you, Swedes? Still have those “refugees welcome” signs?

Didn't register to read the full article. Are the children roaming the streets with rifles and bulletproof vests migrants or indigenous Swedes? Hoping some Swedes are getting into self-defense mode, but sort of doubt it still.

Wow...isn't that a normal WEEKEND in Chicago? As bad as we hear Sweden is, those are rather low numbers.
