It's those damned Norwegians! They went to Africa and came back north.

How does their per capita victim rate compare with Chicago?

I doubt they’re blacks. More likely Middle Eastern Muslims.

Sweden is now the rape capital of Europe. You are not allowed to notice why. At least they are finally cutting off welfare and open borders - remigration is the only way this ends well.

Muslims. From countries that are still tribal. They form gangs readily. Europe is full of Muslims.

They know who are mentally weak like a lion knows that a limping gazelle is ready for a culling.

A good bit of that is due to Sweden's overly wide typing of many routine sexual practices, customs, and he said/she said encounters (including "morning after" regret) as "sexual assault" which most people associate with rape.

As you know, there's a certain ethnic group in the U.S. that commits roughly 60% of all murders nationwide.

Well of course they were. The idea of a Swede in a violent criminal gang is like something from a comedy sketch.

In the US young black men (15-34) are just 2% of the population and commit about half of the nation’s homicides. A rate 50 times higher than the average American.

It is more correct to say that Blacks are 13% but commit more than half the homicides.

Trying to create a more shocking number like that is disingenous, as in every race it will be young men who commit almost all the murders. If you start doing that, the obvious answer is that "young White men also commit homicide at a rate higher than the average," which would be true.

Tell: I don’t agree at all. It’s not old black women who are murdering people. It’s young black men. Most of their victims are other young black men. Of course what you say about young white men is also true but they still kill at a much lower rate than young black men. This is the heart of our country’s gun violence problem and ignoring it means we can’t deal with it.

They are a killing machine. Fortunately, they usually only kill their own.

Likewise the many attacks with grenades and explosives are carried out entirely by gangs. These are sometimes deadly, sometimes not, aimed at the apartment buildings or areas of other gangs. Sweden has by far the most grenade attacks in Western Europe. The grenades and the guns are easily bought from corrupt military bureaucrats in Eastern Europe.

There is a knife law since the 1980s, but after a knife homicide a police officer noted that the law has zero effect on criminals. It only prevents law-abiding people from carrying knives for their protection. Imagine that.

As in many other countries teargas and pepper spray are banned. In Denmark a woman was charged for using pepper spray after defending herself against an attacker. But defense sprays based on acetone, with color to mark the attacker, are legal in these countries that ban the stronger kinds.

Women have strange ideas on how to run countries. I wonder how much longer men will allow them to invite the rapid and utter destruction of what took so long and so much effort to build.

The 3 biggest mistakes men made with women.

1. Giving them the vote.

2. Teaching them to talk.

3. Letting them take that dang apple off the tree.

I've never seen a photo of a young Angela Merkel, but her actions make me wonder if she grew up hating better looking young women.

There is nude one floating around. If you're curious.

No children. So, unbidden, she alone decided to importe a million foreign youths on behalf of all Germans. Now that's some serious fertility and an historic effect on the country's future for generations. Danke, Mutte!

Hate facts.

Not being very familiar with either crime or the justice system in Sweden, can you tell us how many murders were committed in Sweden in 2022 (or perhaps in the prior years, if their system runs as slowly as ours). And for converging evidence, can you find what share of people murdered in a year were immigrants or first generation? (At least hear the data work either way.)

There were 116 homicides in Sweden in 2022. However, I don't know how to find out how many of the victims had foreign backgrounds.

Hi Steve,

I'm Swedish and familiar with these kinds of statistics, so I looked up some information about Sweden's ethnic breakdown that might be useful to you. I found that there’s an English version of the go-to website for Sweden's population statistics—though you may have already come across it while browsing the Wikipedia article.

This screenshot shows the types of statistics on ethnic breakdown available on the website that might be relevant to you.

And here’s the link to the website.

From the website:

As of 2023 of those in Sweden,

• Only 65% were born there with both parents also born there, mean age 45. (These may not all be pure Swedes since Sweden has had foreign minorities for decades.)

• 8.1% were born in Asia, mean age 39.

• 2.4% were born in Africa, mean age 37.

So, less than 2/3 of those in Sweden are actually Swedish. About 10% are from obviously incompatible parts of the world. The latter category are more male and significantly younger than the former category.

The male, military-age, ethnically Swedish portion of Sweden's population is probably only about 10%. The male, military-age, non-European born portion of Sweden's population is probably about 5%.

Of the remaining population

• 9% European-born, mean age 49 (not necessarily all ethnically European).

• 8% Swedish-born mischlings, mean age 33.

• 7% Swedish-born to two foreign parents, mean age 22 (probably almost all ethnic aliens).

• 1% from the Americas, mean age 45.

So, the remaining population are about 10% Europoid but quite old, 7% born in Sweden and ethnically foreign and quite young, and 8% mischlings, trending young.

Of those, the male, military-age, ethnically European portion is probably 1 or 2 percentage points, while another 2 or 3 percentage points are ethnically non-European, and another 2 percentage points are mischlings.

The ratio between ethnically European young men of military age versus non-European young men of military age in Sweden may be as low as 3:2.

Part of the magic that explained Sweden's ability to maintain a generous social safety net was the highly-developed Swedish ability to feel shame, and to strive to avoid it. Ingmar Bergman built a career on Swedish guilt.

It seems this doesn't restrain the recent immigrants from abroad...what a surprise!

There's also a "broken windows" effect when lower-echelon natives see immigrants abuse, flaunt, and disparage long-held standards of normative social behavior. This effect is what is radicalizing working-class Brits, Scandinavians, and other Europeans and setting the masses of disaffected and enraged natives against their governments as well as the immigrants.

Swedes are the possibly the most naive, gullible people in the world. They have no street smarts. Even in America, parts of America with large Swedish populations tend to be very naive- Minnesota, Iowa, Washington State.

This reminds me of my mother telling me about the epithet “Dumb Swede,” which likely characterized what you described.
