Sixth Night of Violence in Sweden (Media spin defenders as "far right vigilantes")
http://www.cnbc.com ^ | 25 May 2013 | David Crouch Gothenburg

Rioting spread to several Swedish towns on Friday night as police stepped up arrests during a sixth night of unrest and far-right vigilantes chased non-whites in southern Stockholm.

In Linköping, central southern Sweden, police responded to 120 incidents as cars, caravans and two schools were set alight. At one point a blazing truck was rolled into a building, which caught fire.

"We see the night's events as an offshoot of what has happened in the Stockholm area in recent days," local police told Swedish television.

In Orebro, 120km west of Stockholm, police were stoned after cars and a school were torched. In Uppsalla, north of Stockholm, there was minor violence.

In Stockholm, police made 18 arrests - the largest number since the disturbances broke out last Sunday night in the northern suburb of Husby a week after an elderly immigrant was shot dead by police. The violence appears to have been sparked by young, second-generation immigrants from north Africa and the Middle East angered by racism and social exclusion.

Any Norskies on this thread? What the heck is going on? Why have they only arrested 18 in a whole week? That Viking blood must be boiling, yes? (Viking here in California).

I own two Husqvarna shotguns brought from Sweden by an importer who bought them from Swedes who could no longer meet their onerous gun control restrictions.

Now if you want to hunt in Sweden you must belong to a hunt club and check out a gun from the hunt club armory and turn it back in at the end of the day.

Not like Switzerland in the very least.

I believe you are correct: Switzerland does not have a standing army, but the people are heavily armed.

Isn’t it time for Sweden to appologize?

"And all the time — such is the tragi-comedy of our situation — we continue to clamor for those very qualities we are rendering impossible. You can hardly open a periodical without coming across the statement that what our civilization needs is more “drive”, or dynamism, or self-sacrifice, or “creativity”. In a sort of ghastly simplicity we remove the organ and demand the function. We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and bid the geldings be fruitful."

~C.S. Lewis

********************************************************************
Actually, Switzerland does have a standing army combined with a citizens’ “militia”. For males, military service is “compulsory” and females may volunteer. Upon screening about 2/3rd of young 18 year old Swiss men are found suitable for military service and go onto training. The “unsuitable” usually are required to do some sort of alternative service.

The “militia” are required to keep their military weapons (and ammunition) at home to have it available at a moment's notice. I suspect the number of home invasions in Switzerland is minimal.

My knowledge of this is somewhat dated but I haven't read about significant changes in Switzerland's defense approach in recent years.

I’m seeing that too in media lately, but in this case they are calling the ethnic Swedes defending their property “far right”

The song and dance routine is getting familiar (Obama's appointee set the example that Sweden seems to be blindly following):

Sixth night of violence in Sweden

Snip: ……….The violence appears to have been sparked by young, second-generation immigrants from north Africa and the Middle East angered by racism and social exclusion.

Napolitano unsure if Al Qaeda a greater threat than right-wing extremists

Snip: Al Qaeda vs. Right-Wing Extremism: According to Napolitano it’s a toss up.

The “far-right vigilantes” are defending their property against islamist wackos, but in their own shiiteholes, the islamist wackos are called “conservatives”. The MSM is beyond farcical at this point;)

Amnesty here will start the ball rolling in this direction. They only thing that worries the architects is the gun issues we have. If only we could disarm them

What’s with the swedes getting all upset? They haven’t had anyone chop off their heads in the street and go on camera to brag about it and threaten more. Obviously, the swedes are moozlum-phobic...and need to be arrested.

Thanks. I didn’t realize it was that bad there, with regard to gun ownership. Yikes.
