‘Ban Cars to Stop Terror' Says Sweden's Best-Selling Newspaper After Stockholm Attack
2017-04-12
[Breitbart] Cars and other vehicles "have turned into deadly weapons", and should be banished from cities to stop attacks like the one in Stockholm from happening in future, according to Aftonbladet editorialist Eva Franchell.
You should just ban mooslimbs instead. Stop lots of terror, rape, etc. that way.
Crackdowns on immigration or extremist ideology are not the way forward when it comes to terror prevention, according to the veteran journalist, writing after Friday’s terror attack in Stockholm left four people dead.

Instead, it is cars -- which she calls "effective murder machines" -- that Franchell says "must simply be removed from city centres and places where people gather, if people are to be protected in future".

Vehicles are "easy to steal, and so nothing has been able to stop their advance", writes Ms. Franchell.

"It just isn’t reasonable that a big truck can be driven right into one of Stockholm’s busiest streets on a Friday afternoon right before Easter."
All points sounds suspiciously like the anti-gun lobby in the US. Do they use the same crib notes?
Noting how it is a popular destination for tourists, Franchell says the city centre must be a "safe environment" for visitors to enjoy. She described it as "remarkable" that it is possible to drive around the Swedish capital's medieval old town.

Outlining her vision for a car-free Stockholm, she argues: "Most problems with regards to mobility and public transport can be solved, and deliveries to shops and restaurants could take place at times when people aren't out on the streets."

"Vehicles have been allowed to dominate our cities for decades and it's the people who need space. It's vital now that cars be regulated," the piece concludes.
So... cars aren't regulated in Sweden? You can just buy one without a license or registration and drive it around without laws?
The idea of reducing the number of cars in Swedish cities was backed last month by Sweden's environment minister, who argued that driving is a gender equality issue as well as a matter of shrinking the nation's carbon emissions.

"Cars are driven largely by men so by giving a lot of space to cars; we're giving a lot of space to men ‐ at the expense of women," Karolina Skog explained.
Gotta throw the sexism card as well.

Talk about the ultimate Stockholm syndrome. You people are under attack by invaders that want to kill, enslave and dominate you... and you propose banning cars. You idiots deserve this fate and you bring dishonor to your ancestors.

#5  Pic of guy with headache time--not this $hit again caption. Is that always the response of liberals, to punish everyone and ban everything? Blame and ban the instrument used by terrorists rather than the terrorists. Same thing occurs with firearms in the U.S. Just ban everything used by criminals to bring mayhem to others which is just about everything and it is still not going to address the problem.

#4  In the long run the solution might be re-colonization because the Islamic world seems incapable of running themselves. Nobody wants to do that because they are violent nutbags but in the modern world I don't think you can quarantine the virus any other way.

#2  Like Archie Bunker said:

"Would it make you feel better if they were throw out of windows instead, little girl?"

The problem will not go away. It will just manifest itself differently.

The solution would be to take colonists "migrants" who were more compatible with your values.

Of course, for fearful/naive liberals who are trying to prove their Utopian system is so wonderful that it can soften the hearts of their worst enemies, denial is a problem.
