Muslim youth riots in Sweden

It has already been reported that Århus, Denmark is experiencing the same rioting and violence from young immigrant Muslims as in (Paris) France but no one is paying any attention to it outside of Denmark. Evne then it is being hushsed up and not reported by the mainstream Danish media.



Now reports are rising about similar violence and simmering threats in Sweden. This comes from a recent blog



The most recent incident was in Ronna, about 1 hour from the capital of Stockholm. This September Ronna experienced unrest, involving clashed with the police, rock throwing and a subsequent machine gun attack on the police station (no one was hit).



The population of Ronna is almost 100% immigrant, few hold jobs and the majority live of various forms of welfare or social transfer. Many, perhaps most of the older generation, do not speak Swedish.



At it’s core Ronna (and Rosengard, and other Swedish ghettos) face the same situation as Paris, albeit milder: The resentment towards the host country is so large that the areas have become almost impossible to police. A large proportion of the inhabitants simply hate Swedes, not the least the police. They also know due to mild laws they can do pretty much what they want and get away with it.



The events in Ronna may be intresting for Americans, go get an image. This is what seems to have happened:



1. It’s 8 in the evening. A street gang of boys sees a young Swedish girl walk by to her job in a store, and yells sexists and racist remarks at her. I suppose the literal translation is “Swedish whore” (this is quite common, middle eastern gender roles have merged nicely with US Rap influence). The boys also throw a object at her neck. The girls responds by calling them a racial slur.



2. The girls cries and calls her father, who drives there and threatens to inform the police. The young men laugh at this, given their experience with the lax Swedish law enforcement and penal system. The father has had enough however and does call the cops. The police do arrive, at first trying to handle the situation peacefully. Here one of the boys attacks psychically attacks the girl and her friend with the police watching (!).



3. Finally the police try to apprehend the young men. Here all hell brakes loose. A large crowd of relatives, friends and neighbors have gathered, including many more young men. With our primate tribal mentality, they take the boys side, attacking the police with rocks.



4. The Police ask for large reinforcements, but are ultimately pushed out by the riot, involving a few hundred people. The police arrest 3 of the rioters (and none of the young boys, they were rational to laugh it would seem) and retreat out. Later that night, with the girl and her father giving testimony, a car drives by and fires at the police station.



The immediate aftermath is also illuminating. Predictably the media take the rioters side, with most of the news events focusing on accusations of “police brutality” and the police “provoking” the riot. The first few days nothing is mentioned in the news about the details, for example the nationality of the girl…

The Associated Press, Reuters, and the Washington Post do not respond to calls from the public to write about the situations in Denmark and Sweden. It is as though they find "Paris Burning" to be more sexy, more glamorous and the only incident of this spreading situation worth reporting. I wonder if Copenhagen must be set on fire for the major news organizations to bother to report it?
