Weapons from a faraway, long-ago war are flowing into immigrant neighborhoods here, puncturing Swedes’ sense of confidence and security. The country’s murder rate remains low, by American standards, and violent crime is stable or dropping in many places. But gang-related assaults and shootings are becoming more frequent, and the number of neighborhoods categorized by the police as “marred by crime, social unrest and insecurity” is rising. Crime and immigration are certain to be key issues in September’s general election, alongside the traditional debates over education and health care.
Just don’t talk about them.
Last year, Peter Springare, 61, a veteran police officer in Orebro, published a furious Facebook post saying violent crimes he was investigating were committed by immigrants from “Iraq, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan, Somalia, Somalia, Syria again, Somalia, unknown country, unknown country, Sweden.” It was shared more than 20,000 times; Mr. Springare has since been investigated twice by state prosecutors, once for inciting racial hatred, though neither resulted in charges.
The New York Times – always the last to know.
Juxtapose indeed!
The difference a year makes.
Good. Not that I want to see innocent people killed or maimed,but what in hell did the Swedes think was going to happen when they flooded their Country with people from primitive third world Countries that had no marketable skills, people that were used to extreme violence never seen in Sweden?
Did they think the “refugees” would be content to sit on welfare for years? The only way many young men from third world shitholes are going to be able to earn a decent living is through crime, specifically, drug trafficking,and it doesn’t matter which Country they immigrate to,European Countries or us in naive little Canader.
My brother in Winterpeg tells me the Somalian gangs are already well established in the drug trade,much to the horror of the Native Indian gangs,who really don’t know much about violence compared to a Puntland warrior.
Sweden would be better off if their idiotic immigration policies resulted in a Scandinavian version of Baltimore in all their major cities,it might cause the stupid bastards to wise up and realize they are killing off their civilization.
Noteworthy here is the bureaucratic elite’s methodology.
When non-Swedes started becoming a noticeable dominant presence in previously nearly non-existent rape statistics, the solution was simple.
Quit tracking that part of the data, problem solved!
Scandinavian common sense at work.
/sarc off
It will be interesting to see how Sweden spins it when their gang-police war turns Mexico-grade…
well I’ma gonna wait for the Unthing to come in here and tell us what is really going on in Svedenstan. I think there is just too much right wing bass over there. Rite Unthing!!!!!!

HRH Harry will finish his mom’s job … and rid Sweden of street-mines. And they will also provide Halal meals for all the Swedish school kids!
Iraq, Iraq, Syria, Syria, Somalia, Somalia… someone with a reasonable IQ would conclude there was a discernable cultural incompatibility at play.
Remember when everyone was wondering why the U.S. had much higher murder and violent crime rates than Europe, particularly Northern Europe. Remember when anyone who identified multiculturalism, particularly resulting in ethnic urban ghettos and gangs as the principle cause was branded a racist crackpot?
Welcome to multiculturalism, Northern Europe. Now you’ve got the same problems. It’s going to get a lot worse. The U.S. has been working on these problems since it started, it was born to it. Northern Europe is new to this game.
