Response: IKEA bans knife displays and Swedish authorities delay public announcement in order to deploy troops to protect Muslims from “backlash”.
The response of the Swedish authorities to the ‘stabbings’ which killed what is reported to be a Swedish native mother and son shopping in the Västerås branch of IKEA – the largest in the country – has mystified some international observers.
Immediately after the attack by the newly arrived migrants, who shared a room in a government asylum shelter and had only arrived in the country less than four weeks before, Swedish police rushed to protect migrant communities from “dark forces in society”.
“Local police across the region have been tasked with taking these measures, to be there for safety purposes for everyone there – those who work there and those who live there,” Vastmanland police spokesman Per Agren said, as quoted by Reuters.
Some of the Swedes are beginning to wake up regarding both their defense and immigration policies. Unfortunately, it’s too late. I suppose the good news is that Sweden’s failed policies will become an object lesson for some of the rest of Europe.
The Swedish authorities may have overreacted this time, but there is going to come a time when some of the native European populations have had enough, and there will be atrocities. It is much more likely to happen in formerly homogeneous populations like Sweden’s.
If I were a Muslim who wanted to get his jihad on, I would consider Sweden to be a great place to do it, given their reaction.
Greetings:
“The Long Ships”are long no longer.
And in populations whose governments tended to treat the perpetrators as victims.
. . . but there is going to come a time when some of the native European populations have had enough, and there will be atrocities . . .
The problem is, the native European populations are defenseless, because they and their governments don’t want to be like those American “cowboys” who tote their guns everywhere. Since the end of WWII, the martial spirit and the thought that one is entitled to engage in self-defense has been bred out of them and eliminated as a legal option. To borrow from Bill Whittle, they got rid of all the sheep dogs and only then invited in the wolves.
It’s not possible to breed violence out of a primate. Pushed hard enough, any one of us is capable of lashing out with murder in mind.
What most lack is the training of skill and will to do it effectively, and that tends to leave only confusion and fear when faced with the need. Social norms can deprive people of licit training, but social norms are limited in reach.
If the last few years haven’t taught us that in the absence of a free market of ideas there will be a black market of ideas, it’s not experience’s fault. The ability to inflict violence effectively, as a human being, is an idea.
I think Shermlaw is talking about the European citizens living under a system that not only takes away means of self defense, but indoctrinates to make individual self defense an illegal and alien concept. Sure there is deep primeval violence in everyone, but for the average westerner these days…it would only manifest too late, after the chains are locked.
The poor bastards put all their trust in government.
Those who sincerely believe chains are anywhere near locked may be excused from the effort to break them, if they wish. I will rather hearken to Thomas Paine, and hear no more of “it’s too late.”
I guess it’s too late when they throw dirt in your face.
Swedes are not, and never were, Vikings, that’s the Danes and the Norska.
New in the country? Behead some people as a way of introducing yourself…

Right.
Nations always learn from other nations’ mistakes. History is replete with societies that change course after someone points out that they’re about to repeat a mistake.
Like a major American city would have responded differently.
Helll, we’d still be trying to fiture out the motive: racism or poverty?
