Trying to use guilt by association by bringing up Rosengård. Has the arrested people been involved in the riots in Rosengård? What has that otherwise got to do with this thing? And how can having rocks in your home automatically mean that you plan to throw them at the police? And why did you choose that picture? It doesn't seem to be from the Fittja incidents.
You are just uncritically publishing the view of the police. This is more like propaganda than journalism.
Absolutely. Spot on mate...
But what a combination, craziness of the left with the extremism of Muslins. Dear Sweden...
I guess gas is too expensive in sweden to even make some molotovs... so rocks will have to do...
So why precisely swedes are so scared of nice behaving Sverige Demokraterna and vote socialdemokraterna, who nourished AFA in so called "youth day centers"?
If one can not see the extreme left bias of most European news outlets the person, by default, falls into the "Left-Wing Activist" column.
And obviously rats who cooperates with secret agency helped them to arrest AFA, although authorities will speak different publicly in order to hide rats. I am not surprised that police speak against AFA, it means that AFA is correct. Police is always on the side of authorities, even in the time of Hitler in Germany. Police never served people.
