[W]hile the Stockholm riots keep spreading and intensifying, Swedish police have adopted a tactic of non-interference. ”Our ambition is really to do as little as possible,” Stockholm Chief of Police Mats Löfving explained to the Swedish newspaper Expressen on Tuesday.But...
”We go to the crime scenes, but when we get there we stand and wait,” elaborated Lars Byström, the media relations officer of the Stockholm Police Department. ”If we see a burning car, we let it burn if there is no risk of the fire spreading to other cars or buildings nearby. By doing so we minimize the risk of having rocks thrown at us.”
Swedish parking laws, however, continue to be rigidly enforced despite the increasingly chaotic situation. Early Wednesday, while documenting the destruction after a night of rioting in the Stockholm suburb of Alby, a reporter from Fria Tider observed a parking enforcement officer writing a ticket for a burnt-out Ford.It's as if the whole country of Sweden has become a university.
When questioned, the officer explained that the ticket was issued because the vehicle lacked a tag showing its time of arrival. The fact that the vehicle had been effectively destroyed – its windshield smashed and the interior heavily damaged by fire – was irrelevant according to the meter maid, who asked Fria Tider’s photographer to destroy the photos he had taken.

UPDATE: The police are finally roused to action!
Faced by another night of terror at the hands of predominantly immigrant rioters, Swedes grown tired of the police’s inability to put an end to the unrest took to the streets Friday night to defend their neighborhoods.... In the Stockholm suburb of Tumba the police decided to abandon their earlier non-intervention policy as a large group of police officers rounded up and dispersed a group of vigilantes trying to fend off rioters.
The decision to round up vigilantes while, according to Stockholm Chief of Police Mats Löfving, ”doing as little as possible” to stop rioters, met with a wave of protests in various social media and on the Internet.

ReplyDeleteOnly defectors, those who once were on the side of the Left, or those who study the nature of the Left's power violence, can figure it out for themselves.
The rest have to read articles like this and even then, it takes them for 10-30 years to even begin to have a grasp on the enemy that fights them.
There is nothing more that can be expected of foreign nations, when the US doesn't even expect much out of itself in this fight. Which isn't even a fight or a war so far. 50% of the people involved don't want to fight it.
I remember a whole bunch of people saying they wouldn't pay the cost for it. It would be too bloody. There are easier ways.
Leftist slavery is always easy, so is Islamic shariah law. That was the only alternative. Nobody in the US can blame anyone else in the world for taking the easy path, not when they themselves preferred peace over war.
I don't imagine the vigilantes were very impressed with the rest of that altered policy--the disperse part.
ReplyDeleteI don't see this catch and release policy as much improvement over the preceding SRO policy.

Round up, organize, equip, and support in action against the rioters--that would be a useful policy for the folks in stylized clothing masquerading as police to implement.

Better brutally crush those Christian vigilantes. One never knows who they'll kill or murder in our beloved Utopian society.
ReplyDeleteGit it Done. Right now. For the cause of good, there is no amount of baby corpses and women that can't be raped for the Cause of Leftist Utopia.
But wait, what is that I hear? I think Obama is whispering to me something.
The core belief is that if we are nice to bad people they will become good. Not today, but soon. Nothing else will work.
ReplyDeleteTherefore, it is those who are trying another strategy who are the dangerous ones - because they are questioning the world-view. The world view must be protected. Without it, young Swedes might conclude that neutrality in WWII was in fact reprehensible. The warm feelings of moral superiority to all those warlike Americans and Brits might begin to drain.
Violent immigrants may kill the body, but reality might kill the soul.
That explains leniency toward the rioters, but doesn't explain the odd cruelty to the victims.
ReplyDeleteIf burned-out cars are being ticketed, it's not because the authorities are trying to be nice to the rioters, or to contain the defenders, since the car owner is most likely neither. It seems like either denial - "There aren't rioters, so this car wasn't burned by them, so the owner is just a scofflaw" - or something worse, a moral inversion that actually attacks the victims because they are victims.
The Swedish socialist party has their own power networks. While I cannot explicitly describe how it works, since they operate in a country far from this one, it should work something along the same principles. They invite Muslim immigrants in, and in return for voting socialist they payout the dole.
ReplyDeleteIf they have ordered police to tighten the law on Swedish ethnicities, it is because they worry that the Swedish ethnicities might do a slave rebellion and hurt the socialist deal with Muslim immigrants.
In turn, the Swedish socialist party might be thinking that all of this is a negotiation ploy by Muslims to get a higher dole. So if they pay out more compensation to the violent, they will get more votes. To make sure this happens, the Swedish "victims" must be tightly controlled so they don't spoil the trade.
