    Many Swedes were horrified in early 2017 when U.S. President Donald Trump linked immigration to rising crime in Sweden, but an increasing number now agree with him.
    Amid soaring crime rates, gang violence, complaints about education, and pregnant mothers even being turned away from maternity wards due to a lack of capacity, resentment in Sweden has built over the influx of more than 600,000 immigrants over the past five years.

    And tonight is one of the worst night for violence in recent history as police report multiple gangs of masked youths rampaging across three major Swedish cities, setting cars on fire in what seems like a coordinated action.

    As The Daily Mail reports, police said they were dealing with multiple fires as dramatic footage showed youths targeting vehicles in a shopping centre and hospital car park at Frölunda Torg, south-west of Gothenburg.
     
    Cars were also reported on fire in Malmo, at the southern tip of the country, and in Helsingborg, further south than Gothenburg.

    Police report that the situation is under control and they remain on the premises to keep order.
    Quote
    Frölunda: A group of about 6-8 masked youth fires and throws stones. 31 cars have burned and in addition to these 35 cars are injured. Nobody is arrested.
    Nordost: A group of about 8-10 young people throws stones and fires. 15 cars have burned. Nobody is arrested.
    Trollhättan: A larger group of about 30-40 young people throws stones and fires. Six cars have burned and another few cars must be damaged. Here roads have been blocked by youngsters and they have even thrown stones against the police and their vehicles. At the moment, identification of young people is ongoing.
    When most fires started within a short period of time, it can not be excluded that there is a connection between the fires, the case will be investigated. Polish patrons will remain in the affected areas as long as it is considered necessary.

    It is no surprise then, as we noted previously,  judging by the latest polls, the rise of extreme populist groups in Sweden is accelerating fast.
    As Reuters reports, dozens of people have been killed in the past two years in attacks in the capital Stockholm and other big cities by gangs that are mostly from run-down suburbs dominated by immigrants.

    With public calls growing for tougher policies on crime and immigration, support has risen for the ironically named, Sweden Democrats, a party with neo-nαzι roots that wants to freeze immigration and to hold a referendum on Sweden’s membership of the European Union.

    Their worried mainstream rivals have started moving to the right on crime and immigration to try to counter the Sweden Democrats’ threat in the Sept. 9 election. But so far, they are playing into the hands of the far-right.
    Quote
    “Right now they (mainstream parties) are competing over who can set out the most restrictive policies,” said Deputy Prime Minister Isabella Lovin, whose Green Party is part of a minority government led by the Social Democratic Party.
    “It clearly benefits the Sweden Democrats.”
    Opinion polls put the Sweden Democrats on about 20 percent support, up from the 13 percent of votes they secured in the 2014 election and the 5.7 percent which saw them enter parliament for the first time in 2010.

    The Sweden Democrats’ rise on the back of anti-immigration sentiment mirrors gains for right-wing, populist and anti-establishment parties in other European countries such as Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia and Austria.
    The Sweden Democrats still trail the Social Democratic Party but has overtaken the main opposition Moderates in many polls. All mainstream parties have ruled out working with them.
    But they could emerge from the election as kingmakers, and a strong election showing could force the next government to take their views into consideration when shaping policy.
    Their policies include a total freeze on asylum seekers and accepting refugees only from Sweden’s neighbors in the future. They also want tougher penalties for crime and more powers for police, and say tax cuts and higher spending on welfare could be funded by cutting the immigration budget.
    Jimmie Akesson, the leader of the Sweden Democratic party, has described the situation as “pretty fantastic”.
    Quote
    “We are dominating the debate even though no one will talk to us,” he told party members.
    The Sweden Democrats have succeeded in linking the two in the minds of many voters, even though official statistics show no correlation between overall levels of crime and immigration. However, while the government denies it has lost control but Prime Minister Stefan Lofven has not ruled out sending the military into problem areas.
    Quote
    “Sweden is going down a more right-wing path,” said Nick Aylott, a political scientist at Sodertorn University said. “It is almost impossible to avoid according some sort of influence to a party with around 20 percent of the vote.”
    Trump was right after all.

    I had to re-copy some of the OP material and neutralize some of the font and bold in order to understand what was being written.
    It's interesting what emerges when you apply bold italics to "Nobody is arrested," etc., (which is not found in the original).

    It would seem to be nonsense that "Polish patrons" would remain, but replace that with "Police officers will remain in affected areas as long as it is considered necessary" makes sense. Why would "Polish patrons" be considered necessary?
    .
    It would seem there has been an abiding FEAR in Sweden to recognize any connection between the fires and various belligerent attacks on various local police agencies by unidentified "youths" -- or even whether these "youths" can be somehow associated with each other.

    Why would the other parties have conspired not to talk to the upstart Sweden Democrats?
    Does it have something to do with the Swedes' penchant to ignore the fact that immigrants are taking them for a ride?
    Why would it be necessary to "link in the minds of voters, crime and immigration?"
    How could Swedes be oblivious to the government having lost control -- just because the government says so?

    It would seem the connection ought to be obvious, that immigration is related to overall levels of crime, and furthermore, that particular immigrants are the perpetrators of the car fires and stone-throwing at police events. But for whatever reason, there is an abiding reluctance among Swedes to believe that is the case, such that "identity of young people is ongoing" and "the case will be investigated." Logically, the perpetrators continue to set cars on fire and throw stones at police because they see they can get away with it.
    .
    Has anyone asked why this kind of thing is not happening in Switzerland?                  

    Let me assure you:                  
    None of this would ever be POSSIBLE in Switzerland!                  

    It ought to be obvious: the perpetrators                    
    have leap-frogged over the Alps to attack Sweden!

    Why would the perpetrators have leap-frogged over the Swiss Alps in order to attack Sweden?
    .
    The perpetrators would only have to walk down the streets of Bern, Zurich, Luzern, Basel, La Chaux-de-Fonds, Davos, Brig-Glis, Thun, Friborg, Lausanne, or any other town in Switzerland to know full well that they would never stand a chance trying to torch cars or throw stones at the police. 
    .
    Any attempt to perpetrate civil unrest in Switzerland would be dead in the water from the get-go.
    .
    So the perpetrators would be fools to try it.
    .
    Not only that, there isn't any news of anyone torching a car or throwing stones at police in Switzerland.
    If you want to know why, just go to Switzerland and walk around on the city streets, take a look, and see for yourself.

  • Sweden Ablaze: Buildings, Cars and Restaurant Torched Overnight as Arson Attacks Continue
    Thursday, August 23, 2018 19:09

    This is now standard operating procedure. The new normal.  “Youths”  — as to which youths? What country of origin did the youths migrate from? Those questions are criminal to ask. In the meantime, it’s burn, Sweden, burn.

    Buildings, 7 cars & pizzeria torched in Sweden overnight as arson attacks continue
    Several buildings, including a pizzeria and a garage, as well as seven cars, were set on fire overnight in southern Sweden as police remain clueless on how to curb the ongoing wave of arson attacks.
    RT, August 23, 2018:
    The fire services received calls saying that a house was burning in a residential area of Kristianstad municipality shortly before midnight on Wednesday. The police said that a fire at the local pizzeria had started upstairs and quickly spread through the building.
    The firefighters fought the flames for several hours, but couldn’t save the building, which was “totally destroyed.”

    A garage and several other buildings were also set on fire during the night, creating a risk of the flames spreading to nearby homes, but the firefighters managed to localize the blazes.
    Later in the night, law enforcers and rescuers also had to respond to several reports of car fires occurring at various locations in central Kristianstad. Seven cars in different areas were set on fire, with two of them burning out completely, the police said. There were no fatalities or injuries as a result of the incidents in Kristianstad, it added.
    When asked by SVT paper if the fires were arson attacks, chief police officer Tommy Bengtsson, replied that “of course, it can’t be ruled out,” but refused to speculate about whether Wednesday’s fires were connected.
    Youth gangs have been blamed for staging multiple car arsons across Sweden in recent years. There were 1,835 such incidents between January and July this year, according to data by the National Council on Crime Prevention.
    The police warned that the arson trend may spike in the wake of the start of school in late August. On Monday, more than 100 cars were torched in the Swedish cities of Gothenburg, Stockholm and elsewhere in what was believed to be coordinated attack.
    Vandalism, rape, murder and other crimes have spiked in the country in recent years, and this has been linked by some to the European migrant crisis in 2015. Last year, the country saw more than 300 confirmed shooting incidents, which left 41 people dead and 135 injured. The Swedish police are blamed for lacking resources and training to reverse the situation.
    The crime rise and the inability of the state to integrate the arriving migrants have created favorable conditions for the rise of the right-wing Sweden Democrats. The anti-migrant party is currently polling at 19 percent, according to Ipsos, and is looking to record its best-ever result in the forthcoming election on September 9.
