No, Sweden is not unique in axe attacks, that is absurd.

The leftists and the other ignorant must realize that guns, kitchen knives, tree branches, bar stools, beer bottles, bricks, rocks and rubber chickens do not kill people. People and groups of people who place little value on life kill people! Sweden is much like every other developed country. You only see this as a Swedish problem as reporting of news on this topic in Sweden is titillating. Other countries suppress news on this topic. Sweden's media does however self-suppress news with the encouragement of the state which supplements the media income with regards to news items that are contrary to the current leftist politically correct policies.

Are you on drugs? The majority of media (the major newspapers and film and TV production companies) in Sweden are controlled by right-wing interests. Do a Google search on the Bonnier Group and Schibsted and learn some facts instead of spouting some insane conspiracy theories.
"...Despite coming off a bloody holiday weekend in Chicago that saw 10 people shot and killed and close to 40 others wounded, Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said the department's strategy to curb gang violence throughout the city is working..."
I think the strategy is to just let them kill each other.
You have obviously never read a Bonnier publication or a Swedish newspaper.
#5: I read them on a daily basis. Your point being?"
My point 'being' is that you are wrong, willfully blind or deliberately deceptive! Pick one, it matters little as I doubt you fool anyone. -Paul
How about giving some actual examples (url links preferred) of "leftist politically correct policies" in Swedish news media?
