>Sweden, which has a population of around 10 million, has the highest per-capita number of deadly shootings of 22 European countries. Forty-seven people have been shot dead so far this year, which, while far from American levels of gun homicide, is extreme for Europe.<p>The author missed this shot on this one. :)<p>Primary amount of gun crime is suicide in the usa. When you exclude these sideline issues, comparing gun suicides to bombings is silly. Sweden and the usa are quite similar for gun homicide. Moreover, they are for exactly the same reason.<p>>Among shooting suspects, 85 percent are first- or second-generation immigrants, according to the newspaper Dagens Nyheter, as immigrant neighborhoods have become hotbeds for gang crime.<p>Sweden is a noob when it comes to immigration. Canada is pro-tier. USA isn't doing so good despite lots of experience.<p>More importantly, Turkey accepted far greater numbers of immigrants from the arab spring and doesn't have the problems Sweden/germany and north america has. why is very important and culture is not the answer. Canada is bottom tier compared to Turkey when it comes to immigration. They had multiple crusades through their country.<p>>So how did Sweden’s famously liberal electorate usher in a party with roots on the extreme right? In a word: denial.<p>Totally disagree. Denial is what the left wing is experiencing. The right-wing has absolutely no denial. Sweden tried to do the right thing, give people in shitty war torn middle east a new life. It blew up in their face because they totally don't understand. Worse yet, the anti-immigration folks also don't understand. So the problem is about to exacerbate. If you think it's bad now...<p>>Many immigrants have integrated well into Swedish society, but too many have ended up in segregated suburbs, where unemployment is high and crime is rampant.<p>To illustrate from history the problem. The city of detroit had this problem. Mass migration of poor black people from the south resulted in exactly the same thing. Bill Clinton many decades later failed to fix the inner city ghettos.<p>To say in 1966 that many black people have integrated well into detroit society is about the equivalent. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Detroit_riot" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1967_Detroit_riot</a><p>>Sweden is one of the most generous welfare states in the world: Although these neighborhoods are marked by high unemployment, there is no American-level material deprivation.<p>#theproblem<p>>Yet police are struggling to maintain control of some 60 immigrant-majority neighborhoods—officially labeled “vulnerable areas”—where gangs and clans compete with the state for local authority.<p>Funny how nobody uses the word ghetto anymore. The swedish people have intentionally pushed these immigrants into ghettos.<p>>In the meantime, those elites dismissed any criticism of large-scale immigration as “racism.”<p>For almost a decade now, everyone is a racist. This is a political ploy to silence political opponents. Every single death from a bomb or otherwise is on these people's karma.<p>The beauty of this absolutely idiotic political ploy the left-wing has been pushing is that it comes at a cost to themselves. Your political opponents love when you punch yourself in the face. They'll sit back and watch you keep punching yourself in the face. Greta came up a couple times in the article and she's a great example of political activists punching themselves in the face. Greta's political opponents gladly showcased her every opportunity they can because she was nonstop punching herself in the face.<p>I don't need a crystal ball to know Sweden will do absolutely nothing to resolve the problem. So in a few decades and an awful lot more deaths of mostly immigrants will we see the fix arrive.
