Sweden will do whatever it takes, including sending in the army, to end a wave of violence that has seen a string of deadly shootings, Prime Minister Stefan Lofven said in Wednesday.
Sweden's murder rate is relatively low in international terms, but gang violence has surged in recent years and Swedes are worried that the police are unable to cope.
In 2016, the latest year for which official statistics are available, 106 people were murdered in Sweden, a country of 10 million.
But Swedish TV reported there were over 300 shootings, mostly in turf battles between gangs over drugs, protection rackets and prostitution.

TFS doesn't say that this is racial crime, but that it is gang related. During editing, I changed the title in the submission to the same as the source material. The submission also made the same assertion that you have - that this is due to migrants. I wonder if you are the same AC that made the original submission?
One politician says “This is the new Sweden; the new, exciting dynamic, multicultural paradise that so many here in this assembly ... have fought to create for so many years,” But even he hasn't said that the crime is linked to immigrants or has a racial link. He does say that Sweden is multicultural society - which it is.
So why do you ask "does that mean the Swedish government is full of racists now?"

One day, maybe we'll be able to figure out whether these gangs are comprised of Swedes of an ancient lineage, or "Swedes" of some other kind of lineage.
One day, Science will solve this enigma.

If the degree of correlation between immigration and crime in Sweden existed in the global warming debate, the science would be settled already.

Because, Janrinok, the lameness filter would stop his post if he said "figures, a bunch of sandn*ggers getting up to their usual shit again," with a side of "hahahaha told you fuckin' stupid libtards."

Ahhh, so that's the trick. It's alright to call them "migrants", but we have to leave out the sand niggers, brown skins, Muslim, and any other identifiers that might help us to figure out who the hell is raping and killing Swedes. Multiculturalism is good, but we may not identify which cultures contribute to multiculturalism. Got it. The alt-right will thank you for establishing the proper rules for discussing lawless motherfuckers who intend to destroy a nation.

There's not a hell of a lot of difference between the two groups, you know. That's the irony: the alt-right aren't as a rule opposed to theocracy, they just want it to be THEIR version of Abrahamic theocracy, not those brown peoples' version.

That is not right. Re-read the original submission's title [soylentnews.org]. The blame was clearly apportioned to a violent, supremecist political movement that has taken hold no mention of immigrants or race was made or implied because islam is not a race [thereligionofpeace.com] nor are all immigrants moslem settlers or colonist.s

Of course I am anti rape - aren't you? However, if that is not what you were saying, could you try writing it in a more adult style and I will try to understand the point you are making.

Subtle references never work with janrinok! Swedish migrant massacre in Bowling Green! The American Carnage! Do you not recall, some not too long ago, our eds fed us a fine article on how anti-rape pants were all the rage in places now infested with over-sexed refugees? And in places frequented by the alt-right? Do you not recall? Maybe I dreamed it. One day on SoylentNews just seems to blend into the next, unless, of course, there is a refreshing, and not at all clickbaity, aristarchus submission!
