Er...no it didn't. A thousand worse incidents than this occur every day around the world. This was a countywide incident that got the full press treatment.
where is the Guillautine when we need it ?!
That footage not only led to his rapid capture in Sweden, but now appears to be instrumental in bringing this sack of feces to justice for a murder in Paris.
In addition to a privacy minister who would refuse to allow the public to assist an underresourced police force to assist in apprehending the criminal, we also have the brilliant Swedish justice system, which was so naive in their sentencing of this psychopath that their sentence allows him to return to Sweden after 5 years abroad.
Get this scumbag out of the country as soon as possible, he has already cost the taxpayers more than enough.
These Immigrants come from places with NO morals. And the loving Sweeds think that they can teach them some.
Well, while they try to teach, everyone in Sweden suffers.
Sweden, WAKE UP, you are loosing your country. the most common baby name in Oslo last year was Mohamed!! They are malignant breeders, and plan to take over. That they are killing the whole planet with too many people doesnt matter to them. Allah will take care of those problems.
And then comes the biggest joke of the sentence given by the Swedish court. One year 8 motnhs for what? Will that give poor Johnny the possibility to stand again on his feet? Will that stop Johnny from hating Tunisians for the rest of his life? Of course not!
Maybe instead of telling the government that these people coming from places with "no moral" should by no mean enter Sweden, to put some more morals into their justice system. Because I can ensure you that this creature can be sentenced to a lifetime prison if he's ever gone through the Tunisian justice.
In the other hand, I recall in the early days of the Tunisian revolution, some of the most dangerous criminals have escaped from many prisons left unprotected by the guards who preferred to be home instead. Tunisian transition government that was established later couldn't do anything about it but warned the EU that some bad elements might enter its borders illegally, and eventually asked to have them back. The time this guy committed the crime in Paris comes few weeks after the start of the revolution.
Needless to remind myself and you that criminality has no country nor religion.
You spelled Sweden wrong.
