About that terrorist infested hell hole known as Sweden

Swedish police featured in Fox News segment: Filmmaker is a madman

Why were you interviewed?

”It was supposed to be about crime in high risk areas. Areas with high crime rates. There wasn’t any focus on migration or immigration”.

How did you react to the news segment?

”We don’t stand behind it. It shocked us. He has edited the answers. We were answering completely different questions in the interview. This is bad journalism.”Anders Göranzon continues: ”It feels like hell. The real questions should be shown along with our answers. We don’t own the rights to the film, but the end result is that we don’t want to talk to journalists after this. We can’t trust each other.”

Have you done anything to stop the news segment?

”We just saw it. What can we do? One thing is talking to you. The excerpt they showed doesn’t say anything, we answered a different question. We don’t stand behind what he says. He is a madman.”

1. He's right. The real questions should be shown along with their answers.

In an expose on FAKE NEWS that not only informs our President, but shapes his policies and his presidency.

2. The whole nazi's fantasy about aryan purity.

It just needs to be evoked to communicate a racist subtext to people who are receptive. The stereotypic idea of this aryan ideal being polluted by dark-skinned, haired, eyed invaders is enough to trigger an amygdalic response in his essentially racist base. This individual constantly plays with stereotypes in such covert fashion. In fact, that's pretty much the only thing he can do.
African countries being victimized by religious fanatics , sure. But Sweden! Can you believe it?

cinnamon buns. It's called fika. EVERYONE should do that!

It has been scientifically proven that fika and terrorism cannot co-exist.

... against businesses like restaurants. Is that now "terrorism?" Is it "terrorism" if an arsonist uses a grenade instead of a gas can?

9. I tried to look up some of those attacks individually to see what the press said about them.

The only ones who have anything about any of them them are Breitbart, RT and the like.

I was in Sweden for a long time this summer. I didn't see even a hint of unrest, or fear or animosity. I didn't see any kind of structure in place against possible grenade attacks, which would have been there if grenade attacks were this prevalent. Perhaps "grenades" mean different things to them than they do to us.

I also traveled extensively within a number of cities. I saw no evidence of damage or any kind of acknowledgment of grenade attacks, which would be odd if they were as prevalent as this list indicates.

I simply don't believe that list.

11. Yes. Which could be made up by someone advancing this kind of narrative.

If it were that prevalent, don't you think the reporting of each of them or all of them as an aggregate would have been a little wider than just an article or two in the local papers?

There are a lot of stories about rampant rapes that have occurred since refugees were admitted. Those have all been proven wrong, too.

Don't you think there would be SOME evidence of this on the streets if it were real? Because I'm telling you, there was none.
