Swedish riots continue as police disperse vigilantes and ignore rioters

Stuart Schneiderman wrote the best article I saw about the London terrorist attack and the Swedish riots.

Excerpt:

In another post Hinderaker described the scene in Stockholm. There the police have taken a laissez-faire attitude toward Muslim rioters. They are too afraid to do anything, so they stand by and let it happen.

One wonders whether Swedes are quite as tolerant of laissez-faire capitalism.

Be that as it may, Hinderaker quotes the account offered by the Swedish publication, Fria Tider:

Since last Sunday, May 19, rioters have taken to the streets of Stockholm’s suburbs every night, torching cars, schools, stores, office buildings and residential complexes. Yesterday, a police station in Rågsved, a suburb four kilometers south of Stockholm, was attacked and set on fire.

But while 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.

”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.”

Why would they not riot? If no one has the courage to stop them, then their actions must be righteous.

But, don’t think that the Swedish police are not doing anything. When a meter maid comes across an illegally parked incinerated vehicle, she gives it a parking ticket.

Fria Tider described the scene:

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.

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. Her employer, the parking company P-service, refused to comment when Fria Tider contacted them on Wednesday afternoon.

At least the meter maids are doing their jobs.

[…]Seeing the threat posed by vigilantes the Swedish police are springing into action. Fria Tider has the story:

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. 

Swedish police fighting Swedish citizens for doing what the police refuse to do. Surely, the Muslim population is watching and laughing.

Secularism and leftism is not strength, it’s weakness. It’s postmodernism, moral relativism and dependency. It’s subsidizing your own executioners because you have lost the will to live. I would argue that Sweden is even more advanced in cultural decline than the UK. But we are rapidly catching them up.

  1. What a self parody — writing parking tickets on burned up cars while ignoring the Muslim rioters! Yes, the Muslims are rejoicing in their victory. They know they’ve conquered Europe.

    1. Are you really believing this kind of crap? Do you think we scandinavians have built our stable and democratic societies on such attitudes? Off course the swedish police are doing their job arresting rioters caught in the act.

      The youngsters doing this rioting is a little, miserable minority of the muslim population. They are not rejoicing in any victory, just letting out their frustration of being losers in a sofisticated society.

    1. The Swedish men apparently are afraid to defend themselves, their families and their property. They would be off to jail, arrested as vigilantes. The police would rather arrest them than the Muslim rioters since the Muslims might do them harm, but the citizens would not.

  2. To WorldGoneCrazy – Not all that big of a surprise …. They have allowed themselves to become ‘girly-men’ , and be ‘neutered’ by the feminists, lest we “offend” them…

    1. That sounds right, Frank. They seem even further to the left than the UK, with their gender-neutral emphasis and all. I assume men are discouraged from being protectors, providers, and spiritual leaders in Sweden just like in the UK?

  3. Sweden is too generous to immigrants. Free housing, medical treatment, free schools/universities and a weekly allowance that equals a good wage in other European countries. But no, those self-same immigrants want even more. The old saying “give an inch”, “they take a mile” is so apt.

    Also, the rape of Swedish women by African men is reaching epidemic proportions.

    1. You mean Muslim men, but I get the idea.

      I don’t think that European countries would have a thing to fear if they limited immigration to people who had to get work permits before arriving and then could only get permanent residency if they had worked continuously for 10 years and avoided any serious crimes for 10 years (avoided anything more than a speeding ticket).
