Great description! That really narrows it down! I think I just saw him in my living room, on the elevator, at my daughter's dagis, in the café, and on every street corner.
"involving around 30 people from two different families."
I know of no Swedish families that have 15 members living within close proximity to one another. What kind of people have 30 family members involved in a brawl?? Is this Appalachia?
That's it? Isn't there any other characteristic that can help identify the suspect?
Except for ........... No, I'm sorry, I can't bring myself to say it.
Of course the purulence video is not allowed to show you that he has bug eyes, no chin, hooked nose,Adams apple like he swallowed a toilet ballcock, an elongated neck, otherwisedescribed as a "middle eastern appearance!
Some people regards immigration as good, some as bad, however immigration can be either. Immigration in fact is just neutral, immigrants make immigration good or bad.
Immigrants always bring with them what they are, actually this is exactly what the multicultural left claims to be the good about immigration. In some level we need to agree with them, Italians bringing wine, French cheese, Swiss chocolate, Japanese technology, are all examples of good immigrants who help to develop and build the country they immigrate to, they will bring what they have.
However what some group/culture/religion, unfortunately, have is only violence, and they will bring it with them, no matter what...
typical immigration crime.
I totally agree
Most elements of Swedish society seem happy to ignore the inconvenient truth. The Local hints at it in provocative headlines, the Swedish press say nothing, but everybody knows. The Swedish right is riding a wave of repulsion with the status quo, and increasing its vote with every election; close to the point of becoming a significant party with real power. The main stream parties are shifting their rhetoric to the right to recover their lost electorate. Even the Social Democrat leader recently said it is the duty of the unemployed to prepare for work; revolutionary stuff - for them.
In Sweden, the inconvenient truth is that it has made a terrible hash of absorbing hundreds of thousands of immigrants into a small population, and there is currently a terrible strain on Swedish society as it dodges bullets in hospitals, watches its cars burn, cares for its rape victims, and works its fingers to the bone to pay the immense taxes that prevent the whole charade from spinning out of control.
In Sweden unlimited immigration and multiculturalism is a success, and say otherwise makes you a racist.
If you compare the types of crimes being committed today (honor killings, police station bombings, the # and severity of rapes, etc.) with the types of crimes that routinely occurred before the 3rd world invasion, you would be shocked at how vastly Swedish society has changed for the worse. That is, if you didn't know anything about Sweden. As many of us know a lot about the country, we are not surprised at all.
