Sweden is at the top of Europe – when it comes to the number of deaths caused by firearms. Sweden’s rate is two and a half times the European average. The vast majority of victims are men between the ages of 20 and 30. In the past, the country did not experience such numbers at all. Migration is to blame, even though the police do not officially disclose the identity of the victims.

At the end of May, a clash of about a hundred migrants from African and Middle Eastern countries broke out on the outskirts of Sweden’s second-largest city, Gothenburg. A man in a grocery store was killed by a bullet in the back of his head. Then there was the violent death of a police officer in the suburb of Biskopsgarden took place. A few days later, a man was murdered in a hairdressing salon on the outskirts of Frolund.

Two weeks ago, two young children survived crossfire between quarrelling migrant gangs in a suburb of Stockholm. At least three people were seriously injured in a shooting in the town of Kristianstad in Southern Sweden. Two migrants aged 20 and 30 were injured, as well as a random passer-by, a 60-year-old White woman.

According to a recent report by the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention, Sweden has seen the highest number of deaths caused by firearms in Europe in 15 years. Based on an analysis of data from 22 European countries provided by Eurostat and the World Health Organization (WHO), Council researcher Klara Hradilová-Selinová calculated that Sweden is in the first place. Most of the victims are male migrants between the ages of 20 and 30.

In the infamous Hjällbo suburb of Gothenburg, 70 percent of the inhabitants were born abroad. Some analysts see a decrease in the number of police officers on duty there as the reason for the increase in crime in the area. In the past, however, they were not even needed.

In 1980, police in Gothenburg was able to solve the murders in 80 percent of cases. At present, it is only 20 percent. Local police do not register crime suspects by ethnic origin. However, it often leaks that the participants in violent crimes are not of Swedish origin. This is reflected in gang wars as well as so-called ‘honour crimes’ aimed at defending the family’s supposed reputation.

Parliament in Stockholm in 1975 decided that Sweden was becoming a multicultural country and fully open to migration, recalls Kyösti Tarvainen, a professor at Aalto University in Helsinki. In 2019, 88 percent of immigrants were non-Western and 52 percent were Muslim. So there has been a huge cultural shift in the immigrant population.

If the current Swedish immigration policy remains unchanged, ethnic Swedes will become a minority in 2065, he concluded.

Sweden used to be the country with the lowest crime rate in the world. ‘Social unrest, burning cars, rescue attacks, and riots keep recurring,’ Swedish journalist Paulina Neuding wrote on the Politico website.

Sweden is now a country with a murder rate well above the European average. ‘Shooting in the country has become so common that it doesn’t even make headlines anymore. News of the attacks is quickly being replaced by headlines about sporting events and celebrities. Media that constantly supported non-European immigration is in no hurry to broadcast their failed leftist Utopia.

Sweden is also moving towards other unwanted championships. For example, Somali-based essayist Ayaan Hirsi Ali said in the online magazine Unherd that Sweden had become Europe’s ‘metropolis’ of rape.

That most of the perpetrators convicted of sexual violence in Sweden in recent years have ‘migrant roots’ was reported, for example, by the public service station SVT during a migrant wave three years ago.

Cases where the rape victims did not know the perpetrator have been rising in recent years. There is about 80 percent of them. It is a completely inverted situation compared to the past when the perpetrator was almost always a relative or an acquaintance of the victim.
