Sweden Calls in Military to Fight Migrant Crime Gangs
The Financial Times: “Police chiefs have said that Sweden is facing its most serious domestic security situation since the second world war as immigrant drug gangs engage in a bloody conflict.”
Remember when the mainstream media ‘fact-checked’ President Donald Trump for warning about the rampant migrant crime in Sweden? “Sweden, who would believe this. Sweden. They took in large numbers. They’re having problems like they never thought possible,” President Trump said in a speech just weeks after taking office in 2017.
Here is some solid “fact-checking” from the FactCheck.Org written in February 2017: “Swedish authorities and criminologists say President Donald Trump is exaggerating crime in Sweden as a result of its liberal policy of accepting refugees from Syria and other Middle Eastern countries.”
“While there has been an uptick in some crime categories, government statistics from Sweden do not corroborate the claim of a major crime wave due to immigrants,” the smug ‘fact checkers’ assured. Just an itsy bitsy ‘uptick.’ And nothing to do with the swarms of illegal migrants they are letting into their country.
Well, fact check this: On Thursday, Sweden’s government announced that it was calling in the military to deal with migrant crime gangs amid spiraling violence and bloodshed.
“Sweden’s prime minister said on Thursday he has asked for the military’s help to deal with an unprecedented crime wave that has shaken the country,” the France-based Euronews TV reported. “The step was prompted by a severe wave of shootings and bombings that have claimed a dozen lives across Sweden, including teenagers and innocent bystanders,” the broadcaster noted.
Germany’s state-owned DW TV reported:
Sweden’s government said on Friday it would authorize the military to assist the police in fighting organized criminal groups.
The comments come after Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson met with the head of Sweden’s armed forces and the police chief on Friday to discuss ways to stem growing gang violence in the country.
Following the meeting, Kristersson said police and armed forces would have an official mandate to explore ways to cooperate. He also said the government would look into changing the law that limits the circumstances in which the police can request military assistance without giving specific details.
“The wave of violence is… unprecedented in Sweden, but it is also unprecedented in Europe, no other country has a situation like the one we have,” he said. “The police cannot do all the work themselves.”
In September alone, 12 people were killed in the wave of violence sweeping the country. One was killed in a bomb attack, and another 11 were shot dead in separate incidents.
National Police Commissioner Anders Thornberg clarified, however, that armed forces would not be given “direct” policing tasks.
Kristersson said Sweden’s armed forces could help police with knowledge of explosives, helicopter logistics and analyses, adding that this could be done without changing any laws.
The Scandinavian country has been wrestling with rampant gang crime for years. Thornberg said it now poses a “serious threat to the safety and security of the country.”
After winning the election last year, Kristersson’s coalition government had given police greater powers and introduced harsher punishment for gun crimes.
The military is being asked to help as the police appears to have capitulated before the migrant gangs. “Police chiefs have said that Sweden is facing its most serious domestic security situation since the second world war as immigrant drug gangs engage in a bloody conflict,” the Financial Times (UK) reported. “Police believe the gangs are increasingly using children to commit the crimes, as those under 18 often go unpunished or receive low sentences from the courts.”
The UK daily correctly diagnosed the problem, perhaps unwittingly. “Sweden long stood out in Europe along with Germany for having liberal immigration policies and welcoming hundreds of thousands of asylum-seekers from the Middle East and Africa,” the newspaper wrote.
Sweden, roughly the size of California, has followed the most leftist immigration and refugee policies in recent decades. Today, out of its ten million population, over two million are immigrants, government data shows. During the Balkan war in the 1990s, the Nordic nation took in more than 100,000 largely Muslim Bosnians and Kosovo Albanians. In the wake of the 2015 European migrant crisis, the country accepted over 160,00 migrants.

This will probably be used to keep those horrible conservatives in check.
military called in to fight. Armed with ammo or not? Gangs know their power.
It has been obvious for a long time that for the most part Muslims are not compatible with western civilizations, now they need to remove most of those 2 million. They will need to be brutal to save themselves.
Also from 2017: Refugees ❤️ Welcome! 😁
This is what happens when you base national policy on what brainless chicks want.
Wonder if they are enjoying the rapes, too? It’s possible, you’d have to ask them.
If they can figure out how to deport all the “refugees,” perhaps they should go further and also deport all the native chicks and soys who “welcomed” them.
Fool me once, eh?
Seems more like they are describing a support role of the military providing ISR to LEO and more EOD expertise from the article.
Destabilization of European societies is one of the main goals of those pushing the “migrant crisis.”
In other words, what’s happening in Sweden is according to plan.
Diversity is our strength
I read this as sarcasm. someone else did not.
Everyone dances around the issue but won’t say the cause.
Islam is the cause. It’s the motivation behind all the “gangs.” The Swedes are being subjected and they won’t name the cause.
Islam is by its nature subversive, innately brutal, exactly what one should expect of a barbarian who murdered, raped and looted his way to power and then created a totalitarian government-law & 5 brainwashing sessions a day religion to cement his power. Those who have not read the Koran should do so. These people sat stagnate for 1400 years while others advanced.
Same with the US. We tried to fob off an Islamic terror attack as “workplace violence.”
That’s what Sweden gets for allowing hordes of Amish farmers into their country. You can’t trust those Amish, with their weird religious customs, their language that most people can’t understand, and their attempts to seek free food and shelter at an exorbitant cost to taxpayers.
If only they would allow those fine young men from Syria, Africa, and other religion of peace followers to seek refuge. Especially those men of military age who can help support the security and safety of those delicate blonde women who are defenseless against the onslaught of those who seek to rape, murder, and sell these poor young women into sexual slavery and violence.
Damned Amish.
😉
1/5th of the population Muslims or soon to be they are sunk. Stick a fork in them.
Enjoy the Caliphate
One difference between ourselves and the current Swedish government is that our government would really like to order the military to protect and help our invader gangs.
Subotai Bahadur
Twelve killed in a month and they call in the military. Here in the States, we call that a typical Chicago Saturday morning.
The gangs are composed of terrorists from the Middle East with combat experience. How much combat experience does the Swedish Army have? What happens when the gangs defeat the army?
I guess the “Hate has no Home Here” lawn signs are RIGHT OUT!
The Swedes have committed cultural suicide.
They were warned by President Trump
I hope they enjoy their diversity!
I have read stories of the Islamic gangs in Sweden using fragmentation grenades in their turf wars. In the deepest criminal havens of the US they do not use fragmentation grenades.
If the civilian population has resorted to weapons of war, then the military most certainly should be summoned.
Erronius
Do not use fragmentation grenades yet.
