The media's job has become hiding the truth rather than reporting it. Surely a sign of civilizational collapse.
"The man has lived with a false identity in Sweden"
why the hell didnt they deport him earlier , after all the previous crimes?
Now, personally, i think hatecrime legislation is inane and should be abolished. If you set fire to a victim because you think its fun to watch him burn thats not one jot less repulsive than if the reason is that you are a racist. The punishment should be the same. HOWEVER, cases like these show the racist antiswedish agenda of the lawmaker.
All you keyboard warriors are so vociferous when the perp is not an ethic swede (whatever that is - does the frog king count?) yet when it's a svensson at fault you are curiously silent.
It's sad that you echo so strongly the sentiments of the anti-jewish brown shirts of the 1930's, but then they turned out to be a bunch of cowards too.
As for the perp of this particular crime, my only wish is that he gets put in the open prison population, where some other ne'er-do-well might find him an interesting play-thing.
It's not the skin color that abhors me, but the deed. Oh, and you lot.
People are silent when it's an ethnic swede because despite their bad behaviour they BELONG here and were not imported here by out-of-touch middle-class politicians from some broken, backward woman-hating country.
You are purposely confusing racism with the dislike of bad behaviour of foreigners (the majority of whom just happen to be non-white). If a bunch of Russians were causing trouble here the cries for their deportation would be just as strong however the Russians wouldn't have the luxury of using the race card or the support of guilt-ridden liberal fanatics.
It seems that now anyone who opposes the negative sides of immigration will be beaten over the head with the actions of Brevik. It's pathetic and makes me wonder if Brevik's murders were some kind of political conspiracy to accelerate the cultural destruction of Europe by painting all those who oppose immigration as supporters of a mass murderer.
As for being being a lover of multiculturalism, you're pretty adept yourself. Either you are a swede writing on an English language website, in English no less (bet the Swedish far right hate that!), or you're a foreigner with a keen interest in the affairs of other nations.
I have a description for repulsive little dimwits like you, along the lines of "reminiscent of the last bout of really bad diarrhoea I had, though a little less witty, and not altogether more clever".
See? You just need a little imagination. Mind you, that was always the trouble with you brown shirts.
Now, I know it's way past your bedtime, my little friend, so sweet dreams. I'm sure like your loony locked-up friend those dreams feature killing lots of defenseless children on an island somewhere.
Number two, the outcry against the country's immigration policy would be just as great if the perps were French, British, Russian or American.
Dick, whilst I don't have the 'facts' in front of me, let's take - for the sake of argument - your premise that the disproportionality of crime incidence is indeed the case. And so? Lock em up, or chuck em out, or both. I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with are borderline cretins who cannot seem to differentiate between those of an immigrant background who contribute to society, and those who do not. And let's be honest, you cant. Your fear of things - not just foreign, for I'm thinking you probably aren't native to these shores either - but related to a different skin color or creed, marks you as what you are; a paranoid afraid bigot. You are one of those who regularly pop up whenever there is a chance that the subject of one of these sad stories is a dark skinned immigrant, claiming that no swede would ever do such a thing, yet are notable by your absence when a swede does the deed. Time to grow up, boy.
Expat - oh, the irony. As a non-ethnic swede, I presume you put yourself in the same category as the disgusting individual who is the subject of this article. As for the swedes being more civilised than anyone else, then I'm afraid you haven't been expat enough in enough places in your life. That's not to say they aren't on the whole pleasant here. Don't for an instant though think that those of us who are non swedes here of whatever skin color escape all of the prejudices that seem to debase the comments section of the local, but are held by the 'ethnic swedes' (again, I ask the question, just what is that?).
As for the rapes, they have been going on for as long as the marines have been stationed there, and that is deplorable. But you know what, far more are carried out weekly by native japanese (well, those Japanese from the three main islands, but they aren't really 'native', as I'm sure you are learned enough to know), and yet they don't hit the front page of the Mainichi or Yomiuri.
When you dwell on the deeds of the foreigner, whilst ignoring the same perpetrated by your own, well, that pretty much defines mindless racist cretin.
Everybody says there is this race problem. Everybody says this race problem will be solved when the third world pours into EVERY white country and ONLY into white countries.
The Netherlands and Belgium are just as crowded as Japan or Taiwan, but nobody says Japan or Taiwan will solve this race problem by bringing in millions of third worlders and "assimilating" with them.
Everybody says the final solution to this race problem is for EVERY white country and ONLY white countries to "assimilate," i.e., intermarry, with all those non-whites.
What if I said there was this race problem and this race problem would be solved only if hundreds of millions of non-blacks were brought into EVERY black country and ONLY into black countries?
How long would it take anyone to realize I'm not talking about a race problem. I am talking about the final solution to the black problem?
And how long would it take any sane black man to notice this and what kind of psycho black man wouldn't object to this?
But if I tell that obvious truth about the ongoing program of genocide against my race, the white race, Liberals and respectable conservatives agree that I am a Breivikboynaziwhowantstokillsixmillionjews.
They say they are anti-racist. What they are is anti-white.
Anti-racist is a code word for anti-white.
The only reason for defending the swedish immigrationpolicy is if you want to exterminate us swedes as a people. It is a policy of hate.
You said: "Oh, and my 'genocide', inform me how that's working out. It's been so long since I've kept a tally of the hoards I've been wiping out."
Raphael Lempkin, who coined the term "genocide", said this (Axis Rule in Occupied Europe, 1944): "Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. Genocide is directed against the national group as an entity, and the actions involved are directed against individuals, not in their individual capacity, but as members of the national group."
Also, c.f. Article II of the UN's Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide:
"Article 2: In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such:
(a) Killing members of the group;
(b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group;
(c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part;
(d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group;
(e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."
Genocide is genocide, whether that is accomplished via mustard gas, bullets, forcibly transferring children of the group to another group, or, in our current discussion, flooding virtually every white country and only white countries with tens or hundreds of millions of non-whites, covering up their crimes, assaulting the foundations of national life, and firing any ethnic European who disagrees (or charging them with a hate crime, putting them on a list, locking them up, etc.).
Could you also provide factual evidence for the somewhat curious conclusion that "anti-racist is a code word for anti-white", please. There, I did ask politely.
I'm happy to see you took the time to look up the word genocide. Here's another new one for you: sarcasm.
That aside, I think you confer a little too much intelligence on the other breivik-brigade members by assuming they also have the works of M. Lempkin - and the quoted small-print - front and centre in what passes for their minds.
Trouble is, many of the items of article 2 you quoted also condemn you and your fellow breivik boys brigade brown-shirts as guilty too.
And I'm afraid you are a little myopic if you feel that it is only "white countries" (can you tell me what this means, please?) that are subject to immigration.
Have you considered any other possible reasons for government direction on immigration?
jostein. Can you explain to me how current immigration policy will lead to the extermination of you swedes as a people. And do you include your french royal family in that group? Can you give me an indication as to how long it is reckoned to take for this extermination to be complete?
Are you normally this dim-witted, or did I merely catch you on a bad day?
Please answer my questions (and I have no problems with you setting and explaining the parameters of any of the words you choose to use);
"Can you explain to me how current immigration policy will lead to the extermination of you swedes as a people. And do you include your french royal family in that group? Can you give me an indication as to how long it is reckoned to take for this extermination to be complete?"
thanks for taking part.
