    An amazing insight.

    So you know who these people are do you?

    If Sweden would release crime statistics detailing ethnicity we wouldn't have a problem, would we?

    Immigrants have repeatably rioted in the same manner in the recent past, a search shows up nothing for "ring wing riots". Yet you write this
    I'd say it's more likely right wing groups trying to drum up anti immigrant hostility

    I stand by what I said.

    https://edition.cnn.com/2017/02/21/europe/sweden-stockholm-riots/index.html

    2017 "Stockholm, Sweden (CNN)Riots broke out in a predominantly immigrant neighborhood of Stockholm Monday night, as residents clashed with police officers and set vehicles on fire, Swedish police say"

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_riots_in_Sweden

    "On 15 May 2016, unrest occurred simultaneously in the Swedish towns of Norrköping and Borlänge, primarily in Million Programme public housing-areas, with stone-throwing against police and firefighters, car fires and arson attacks.[1][2] The unrest took place across Sweden since late March.[3] Public transportation was temporarily suspended in several areas due to stone-throwing against trams and buses. These incidents were mainly perpetrated by youths; researchers blamed social segregation and failed integration by immigrants for the situation. These incidents were considered particularly notable as they represented the spread of unrest to outside the three major urban areas of Sweden."

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2017_Rinkeby_riots

    On 20 February 2017, rioting broke out in Rinkeby, a predominantly immigrant-populated suburb of the Swedish capital Stockholm.
    Rinkeby was previously the site of riots in 2010 and 2013.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/May_2013_Stockholm_riots

    On 19 May 2013, violent disturbances broke out in Husby, a suburb dominated by immigrants and second-generation immigrant residents, including a substantial number from Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Iraq,[7] in northern Stockholm, Sweden.[

    https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2013/05/sweden-riots-explained/314899/

    "For the fifth straight night, rioters have broken windows and set fire to cars in neighborhoods around Stockholm, Sweden. The violence is drawing renewed attention to the interplay of immigration, economics, and government in Europe."

    The Norwegians aren't known for their civilian massacres either, but Anders Brevik carried one out for political purposes.
    Did you just tar all the Norwegians with the same brush?
    Has Anders been carrying this attack out regularly for the past ten years?

    Apple's and oranges.

    Why does 'apples' get an apostrophe, but 'oranges' doesn't?

    My point is simple: we don't know who carried out the attacks on cars in Sweden overnight.

    It may have been immigrant gangs, or it might have been organised by right-wing extremists leading up to the election to try to get the Swedish anti-immigrant party into power.

    I'll reserve judgement until we learn more.

    So I just texted a friend of mine over there about this hysterical thread. He said "this is a "trend" the last few years when school is about to start. A bit ****ed up but not the collapse of society as some muppets say".
    But then, what would he know right? He's just nieve and afraid to say it like it is.

    Have a google yourself. I was there during the 2013 riot, there was plenty from both sides doing their fair share of rioting.

    Any proof of this claim? Google isn't helping:

    "On 19 May 2013, violent disturbances broke out in Husby, a suburb dominated by immigrants and second-generation immigrant residents, including a substantial number from Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan and Iraq, in northern Stockholm, Sweden. The riots were reportedly in response to the shooting to death by police of an elderly man, reportedly a Portuguese expatriate, armed with a puukko knife, after entering his apartment and then allegedly trying to cover up the man's death."

    More or less.. but its not all Johnny Foreigner.

    The trouble always arises in rough disadvantaged areas which contain a large number of migrants, but also a large number of Swedes that are less off.

    Hang on, so we are gone from 10 years of rioting to THE RIOT in 2013.

    Just so we are clear, Sweden is a ****hole because drink costs a fortune? And the people are boring? No they probably just couldn't compete with your legendary "mad bastard" mentality. You were just too much for them to handle.

    So organised crime is ok but rioting is bad because?
    Odhinn wrote: »
    O. That's ok then. I suppose we can get back the muslim bashing business at hand.
    As I said, the topic at hand in this thread is the car burnings, not general "immigrants are bad because.. stuff".
    Feel free to start threads on organised crime in Sweden if you like :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,842 ✭✭✭Don't Chute!


    There has a few instances in Sweden in the last few years of grenade attacks and unexploded grenades being found in the street. Biker gangs being involved mostly. So are we to infer from this thread that when the End Times come for Sweden it will just be the biker gangs and the Mooselims left slugging it out?

    Don't worry, the Swedish government said they were going to tackle Russia with a feminist foreign policy.

    Whatever the jaysus that is.

    Seemingly making it up as you go along to suit your viewpoint.

    https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/aug/14/swedish-pm-asks-arsonists-what-the-heck-are-you-doing-setting-fire-to-cars

    "Sweden goes to the polls on 9 September with violent crime high on the political agenda after a spate of shootings and grenade attacks, largely in deprived areas with large concentrations of immigrants. Opposition leaders have accused the ruling centre-left coalition of allowing “no-go zones” to emerge where emergency services fear to tread."

    I can't believe people can be this fúcking naive. Then you have the other brigade making light of the situation to deal with their cognitive dissonance.

    Sad shíte altogether.

    The best solution to this would be for you to post some factual evidence of who actually carried out the riot. Any time you're ready....

    I was not really being sarcastic, but I did not know the Swedes were known for their rioting so I am willing to stand corrected if you could direct me to some videos or pics of some tall, blond, blue eyed rioters in action.

    Ah, so you don't actually know anything about who carried out this riot. Thanks for clarifying.

    There is factual evidence of dozens of identical riots in recent years in Sweden and not one has been linked to "far-right" groups only immigrants.

    Tell me, if your dog bit you on the arse everyday for a month, would you run outside and blame the cat? If you did you'd have some serious cognitive problems, and it's no different here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,435 ✭✭✭pumpkin4life


    According to Andrew Neil on Twitter the right wing Sweden Democrats lead the polls in every age group. Election in a month.

    After today, it might be a very good idea to throw a bet down on the Swedish Democrats, stock market or paddypower. Combine with the social desirability bias, and things could go completely nuts here.

    Having said that, I don't know much about Sweden, apart from the fact that their country is fùcked right now.

    Were all ****ed, we in the west have become decadent. Only Putin can save us now! :):):)

    Jesus I'm just back yesterday after a week over there. We were lucky to get out alive to be honest. Hordes of immigrants roaming the streets raping and pillaging. I believe four out of every five Swedish person is being murdered. Tis worserer than a war zone I tells ya! Am I doing this right?

    awwww you're so accomodating and open minded. Well done you!!!

    If we all just close our eyes and try to concentrate really hard, it will be like these riots never really happened.

    Certainly worth a consideration. Although a week or three, is still a long time in politics. Swed D price is just above evens at 2.1 (for the most seats).

    Last years value option was for Italy to say 'EU feck aff' @3.75, it's now as short as 2.5 with some (B'way)and likely now just a matter of time.

    Interestingly WillHill has promoted Sweden up to 5th place for the 'exit' list.

    Sweden should be fine in all reality....
    in about 200yrs from now.

    Damn lazy immigrants, they've only been responsible for 93% of all gang rapes in Sweden over the past 2 years, good, but can do better.

    I love how they're so apathetic about the whole thing. 80 cars being set on fire is a trend.:rolleyes:

    and to think Sweden used to be the envy of Europe.

    More like a big orange flashing warning signal now! They took the multicultural experiment too far.
