    Instead of fixing the root causes of gang violence, Sweden is about to turn itself into a militarized surveillance state.

    Wonderful.

          Sure, in some cases. Buuut this is a very clear push in a direction that grants the police more power and independence, while restricting freedoms of citizens, especially non-white passing.

        Ah yes, it’s far right populists that caused this and not the gangs who killed two people in shootings and another in an explosion in Stockholm just two days ago… lmao

        And yeah, these are unintegrated migrants imported from 2015 onwards, who failed to integrate and now run massively violent, warring gangs that are currently responsible for an unprecedented amount of violent deaths in Sweden’s largest cities. Putting our heads in the sand regarding real issues for fear of being racist is what got us here in the first place.

        Look at the data, and act, just as Sweden’s LEFT-WING government is CURRENTLY doing because the situation has now become untenable.

          Are you one if those people who say poor people are inherently more violent? Or do you understand systemic issues causing skewed statistics?

          Also funny to see racists pushing the timeline around as they see fit.

            I’m Swedish centre-right, and the last US political poll I did put me further to the left of Bernie Sanders as he was to Trump.

            tl;dr: it’s relative. shock.

      What the fuck are you talking about? The communist nations of the world have notoriously tight immigration and emigration policies.

      Loose immigration policy seems to mostly be a Western construct.

          Ah yeah he’s known for being a well adjusted, reasonable man. Touch. Grass. I mean it.

          (in case anyone doesn’t know, Breivik - this guys personal hero - murdered 77 people in 2011. Mostly youths. The year is noteworthy bc it was before refugee “crisis” these shit for brains xenophobes claim is overrunning europe)
