Vigilantes in Sweden
Faced by another night of terror at the hands of predominantly immigrant rioters, Swedes grown tired of the police's inability to put an end to the unrest took to the streets Friday night to defend their neighborhoods.The vigilantes were described as a motley crew of homeowners and concerned citizens, as well as neo-Nazi activists and football hooligans. In the Stockholm suburb of Tumba the police decided to abandon their earlier non-intervention policy as a large group of police officers rounded up and dispersed a group of vigilantes trying to fend off rioters. The decision to round up vigilantes while, according to Stockholm Chief of Police Mats Löfving, "doing as little as possible" to stop rioters, met with a wave of protests in various social media and on the Internet. Later during the night the police appear to have relaxed their attitude to the presence of vigilante groups in the streets. The police is reported to have stepped aside and watched as a huge crowd of vigilantes chased immigrants through the streets of Tumba, chanting "the city is ours" and "we will do what the police can't do". Several independent sources testify about vigilantes managing to scare away groups of rioters torching wastepaper baskets. Posted by: Nimble Spemble 2013-05-26 |
