Welcome to Sweden Stockholm

[geriatrix]

Crazy thing comes to my mind:

There is the torrent site "ThePirateBay".

Big company makes movie for $100 mill,
earn $600 mill by selling it. ThePirateBay
(and other sites) allow some people to download
that movie for free, and company "lose"
(don't take from viewers) another $8 mill.

They want total control and this makes them
even crazier than they already are.

They tried to close ThePirateBay many times,
but they couldn't do it because it's in Sweden
and American lawyers couldn't do anything.
(Physically may not be, but "legally" it is.)

Greedy movie company (actually several of them)
now make mess in Sweden to try to make reason
for "foreign intervention", or for internal law changes.

Yes, as I said, the thought is crazy, but not far
from the way the big companies think nowadays.

For Iraq they said "there are chemical warheads there",
then they intervened (to gain control over oil)
and then, after all is over, comission concluded
"there are no chemical warheads there".

But the harm is already done.

Rioters have lit fires and stoned emergency services in the suburbs of Stockholm for the third night in a row after a man was shot dead by police.

Incidents were reported in at least nine suburbs of the Swedish capital and police made eight arrests.

On Sunday night, more than 100 cars were set alight, Swedish media report.

Police in the deprived, largely immigrant suburb of Husby shot a man dead last week after he reportedly threatened to kill them with a machete.

The founder of a local youth group told Swedish media the riots were a reaction to "police brutality".

Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt told reporters on Tuesday that Sweden would not be intimidated by rioters.

'Opportunistic'
On Tuesday night, cars were torched in western and southern Stockholm, and stones were thrown at police officers and firefighters. One area affected, Rinkeby, saw similar rioting in 2010.

Kjell Lindgren of the Stockholm police told Aftonbladet newspaper that the unrest had spread from the original rioting in Husby.

"It feels like people are taking the opportunity in other areas because of the attention given to Husby," he said.

Earlier on Tuesday, Prime Minister Reinfeldt said: "We've had two nights with great unrest, damage, and an intimidating atmosphere in Husby and there is a risk it will continue.

"We have groups of young men who think that that they can and should change society with violence. Let's be clear: this is not okay. We cannot be ruled by violence."

More than 80% of Husby's 12,000 or so inhabitants are from an immigrant background, and most are from Turkey, the Middle East and Somalia.

Mr Reinfeldt said the situation in the district had been improving in recent years, with more jobs being created and a falling crime rate.

'Monkey' slur
However, local people accused the police of racism.

Rami al-Khamisi, a law student and founder of the youth organisation Megafonen, told the Swedish edition of online newspaper The Local that he had been insulted racially by police. Teenagers, he said, had been called "monkeys".

He said the crowd was reacting to a "growing marginalisation and segregation in Sweden over the past 10, 20 years" from both a class and a race perspective.

Justice Minister Beatrice Ask said anyone who felt mistreated by police should file a report.

An investigation is under way into the shooting of a man, 69, last Monday after police were called out to a home in Husby where the man was allegedly brandishing a machete.

Police say they tried unsuccessfully to negotiate with the man after learning a woman was inside the flat along with him. They then stormed the flat.

First, I don't like what is happening.

But I must comment one detail from video.

It says "Muslim Communists / Socialists..."
which is an oxymoron.

If Muslims do it, then it's Jihad and has nothing
to do with Socialist / Communist revolution.

And, as far as I know, Sweden is so free and
has so much human rights that no communist
need any revolution there.

Communist, socialist, terrorist, muslim, immigrant. just words used to scapegoat a group of people because it's easier than actually dealing with complex social problems.

This stuff isn't just in sweden. It's everywhere. A very large part of the population will simply take anything the media says as true and if they say it's dem evil commies, then dem evil commies did it. Anyone that says different is immediately branded as a <whatever they're blaming> supporter and as such not worth listening to. The group targetted by this mostly doesn't even know the meaning of these words, just that it's "bad" and anyone saying different must be shut up because they're "agreeing" with the terror-commie-socialist-nazi-anti-raptorjesus-fascist-evil people.

It must be so nice living in a black & white world where everything is either good or bad, right or wrong & there is nothing in between. No need to think. Complex problems with no easy solution, no real right or wrong,  don't fit in this world image and thus it must be dem evil immigrants, or the socialists, or the terrorists trying to destroy their freedom!
