Immigrants are mostly blamed for the crimes Swedes make, so do not be worry about mentioning name.
Did you actually read the article? The name is not revealed by police or the responsible journalists! It is mentioned by the group itself! Even in this case, many Swedish medias avoided mentioning his name! Interesting you cannot or you do not want to see the difference!
but like always blame the ones that want a better Sweden for it ;)
and yes, i was there, i was eating at mcdonald's
Doesn`t matter if they did, The Local shouldn`t publish it if they want to be considerd objective. There is a difference, you see that right?
At least we agree that there is a difference! The local didn't have access to names in previous cases simply because Swedish police and justice system do not reveal names. But this time they had and they chose to reveal it. Other Swedish media didn't choose to publish this time either.

From reading your comments I bet you had believed in 72 virgin if you happen to be born somewhere in the Middle East. But you didn't so you believe in the equivalent of it in your area! Sadly geography forms your mind not your gray cells!
This refers to the spectators who were attacked - as clearly described in The Local's article. Are you saying this is wrong or were you just throwing mud around ?
I am just as concerned as the next person about political correctness. I also think that in the name of a twisted notion of fairness and tolerance the media do not judge all cultures by the same standard. The media pretend that extremists practicing Islam are not extremists. But let's judge each report on its merits. The information that we do have about this particular incident is that the neo Nazis were in the wrong. Unless someone has information to the contrary, let's not jump to conclusions to the contrary.
