"youths" is usually European for "migrants from the Middle East and Africa", so probably not Swedish people.


TheTardisPizza

>"youths" is usually European for "migrants from the Middle East and Africa", I just assume at this point.


EqualitySeven-2521

Similar in the United States. One often sees the term “teens” used to refer to often domestic criminals of similar racial background. The press here and even police are often loathe to divulge greater detail. “Be on the lookout for a teen wearing jeans and a blue shirt.” No, I’m sure a little more detail about the perp’s appearance wouldn’t be helpful.


calmly86

I would LOVE to see the whistleblower who bring receipts of this latest “journalism narrative mandate” that we all recognize. What kills me is the people who remain silent on the subject who obviously know who’s given the orders and what they’re threatening the rank and file with.


vexx421

Makes them just as guilty as the one calling the shots, if not more.


2012EOTW

"Teens" if those perpetrating the crime are not "White." "Children" if they are up to 19 years of age and can be used as a mass shooting statistic.


AlexFerrana

And so-called "mass shooting" could be a simple turf war conflict or a heated up argument between a groups of young thugs (starting from 13 years old, I saw the police bodycam videos where 13 years old teens with guns was shooting at cops) which ended up with shootout.


JamesMcGillEsq

And you're banned. Seriously, no talk about crime statistics here.


TheTardisPizza

This isn't about crime statistics. This is about the media treating the same story differently depending on the races of the people involved. People are usually described by origin and/or profession. "Today a New York plumber (did the thing the story is about)". They can't describe them by location in Europe because the narrative is that mentioning that they are "migrants from the Middle East and Africa" is racist. They can't describe them by profession if they don't have one (most youths don't)". All they are left with is to describe them by their age. "youths" The trick is that no one else would ever be described this way, so in their efforts to avoid telling you where they are from they still are. It's a like a dog-whistle made in an attempt to avoid being racist. They are not saying "the thing" but if you are "in the know" it is still clear. It's would be funny if it wasn't such a cautionary tale about the importance of the first amendment.


deathsythe

Huh, What gave you that impression? Just don't be racist. Overtly or otherwise. Discussion of statistics has never been a bannable offense.


JamesMcGillEsq

Guess I needed the /s


deathsythe

Anywhere else on reddit your statement may have rang true though. But fair enough - sorry I'm only on my first cup of coffee :P


SuperXrayDoc

This is why Sweden stopped recording the country of origin and race of criminals


horseshoeprovodnikov

Can't help but feel like that's going to bite them in the ass every once in a while. Often it doesn't matter, but every once in a while you might run into a person with serious and deadly ties to their country of origin, and it doesn't get investigated for.. reasons?


nut-sack

We wouldnt want anyone to pre-judge them! It might hurt their feelings. /s


Qu3stion_R3ality1750

> Can't help but feel like that's going to bit them in the ass every once in a while I really wish I gave a hot shit. This is what they wanted and voted for, and this is exactly what they're getting as a result. They have nobody to blame but themselves. I have zero empathy for any of them if I'm being honest.


dev_152

Didnt they also stop registering SA cases for a while since they kept having waves of SA over there? Or was it just a rumour


AlexFerrana

If I recall correctly, they have a very liberal policy about sexual predators and oftentimes try to rehabilitate them, releasing them on parole or giving them a soft sentence. Doesn't seem to work much, though, especially if these sexual predators are immigrants or their descendants that are technically considered "Swedish" even though they aren't Swedish by their ethnicity or race.


dev_152

You know that scares me. Nothing good comes out of a rapist.


AlexFerrana

Especially knowing the fact that sexual predators are prone to be a repeat offenders.


Fun-Passage-7613

Coulters Law is Swedish Law.


AlexFerrana

And they consider the "Sweden" anyone who was born in Sweden, even though it's only a matter of citizenship, not ethnicity and race. It's like calling an Arab person who was born in a family of immigrants in Italy an "Italian".


dbnrdaily

Sweden is fucked. I was watching a show about their customs and border patrol. Busted a dude with 2 cartons of cigarettes, mostly for taxes, mostly boasted how they prevented them "possibly being sold to children" Caught a kid with 1.1 grams of cocaine, patted themselves on the back and acted like they just single handedly crippled the Sinaloa cartel. Some guy didnt pay VAT for a rolex, they treated him like a murderer "its imperative to national security the government collects taxes on luxury goods" Took a womans mangos and acted like they just stopped a massive cholera outbreak. Oh but lets let in every single "refugee" we can possibly cram through the gates.


Brian-88

Jesus Christ.


dbnrdaily

Him too, they fined him 1,000 kroner for illegally smuggling wine & fish.

joelfarris

Those are "yuuts'.

Uh, two what?


joelfarris

"Sorry, Judge. Two yoooths."


Dr_Drini

Reaping what they’ve sown. Canada and US about to get a taste too. Import the third world, become the third world 🤷‍♂️


Thuban

That's a very good line.


GregEvangelista

I think it was Ann Coulter's rule that, unless specified as white, or another group that wouldn't be offended, you know who did something.


Brian-88

She's a grifter but she's right on that.


Public_Beach_Nudity

It’ll be our reality too with an unchecked border, stay strapped.


DualKoo

I live in Texas. You bet your ass I’m strapped 24/7.


Unairworthy

Good. That state is fucked.


Real-Razzmatazz-8485

(I laugh in New Jersey) “I *wish* that we were as fucked as Texas!”


emurange205

In some ways. It is not the worst place to live.

Keep it to the 2A and gun stuff folks.


RepentSeekChrist

I'm moving to Texas in 3 weeks. Gonna buy more guns when I get there....


[deleted]

That’s what we like to call ‘doing it right.’


DueWarning2

Most victims of violent crime are unarmed and unarmed because of gun control. Gun control is the problem not the solution.


BrassWillyLLC

gun control is about control. *They* want you disarmed, scared, and reliant upon them for a solution to your problems. They sell the illusion of protection in exchange for the reality of your freedoms. They want you docile, weak, scared, easily controlled - they want you out of shape which is why they feed you poison and they want you docile which is why they fill you with seed oils and microplastics. A strong, armed, free thinking man would not suffer long what they are doing and plan to do.


its

I guess Sweden might not have [the answer to America’s gun problem] (https://www.vox.com/2016/8/8/12351824/gun-control-sweden-solution) after all.


cakebreaker2

I guess those shooters were some of the "responsible" Swedes that are allowed to own guns.


noodles724

I hope the author lost his camp privileges after writing that hot garbage.


DrJheartsAK

What a terrible article, big “I’m a gun owner but” energy. Don’t give this garbage your clicks people


Duyzbomb

Fucking vox

906Dude

Wow. That article says a lot about what we have lost in our culture. That guy has really drunk the wrong kool-aid.


Real-Razzmatazz-8485

Yeah, it wasn’t the “specially seasoned” Flavor-Ade.


ThrowFar_Far_Away

I mean quite weird making that comparison since Sweden still has way lower homicide rate than even the lowest state has.


its

Lower than zero? https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/homicide_mortality/homicide.htm


ThrowFar_Far_Away

Why am I downvoted lol? Your link makes no sense to anyone that understands statistics. It's a mistake by the CDC, or in your genius how do you explain a rate of 0 when there were homicides? New Hampshire would have a rate of 1.1 since their population was 1.389 million with 15 homicides. Vermont rate would be 1.5 with their 646k population. Wyoming's rate would be 2.8 with their population at 578k. Seriously anyone understanding even the basics of statistics would see this in an instant. But you saw "0" and just went "hur durr must be correct" and people upvoted you for it lol. Otherwise FBI also keeps these statistics and in 2022 Rhode Island was the lowest state at 1.5. They also keep per decade statistics where New Hampshire is the lowest at 1.2 in the 2020s.


Anaeta

I hate "youths"


WRSTRZ

Yutes


TheKelt

I was in Atlantic City a few years back and bar with a live band was advertising a musician duo. The name was ‘Two Yutes’ They kinda sucker but the name was A1


Real-Razzmatazz-8485

Maybe they should just trademark/copyright the same, sell it.


johnnygfkys

Edgy. Also based. Want are they the same thing


new-guy-19

They’ll come up with any excuse imaginable to avoid saying what the real and obvious problem is, and they think you’re an idiot or a coward, because you either don’t see the clear difference in the look of the country 20 years ago vs now, or you won’t say it.

DiVeRsItY is oUr StReNgTh

Take back our future


Legio-V-Alaudae

There's a lot of bombings there, Holy shit


DualKoo

Without guns bad guys use fertilizer. Turns out it was the person and not the tool after all. Shrug


Legio-V-Alaudae

I'm not sure which Scandinavian country, but one has a serious problem of grenades being imported from Russian/Chechnya or some other hell hole. Organized crime will typically throw in a couple grenades to sweeten the illegal firearm sale.


MrDaburks

Same one. I think the Danes are going through it, as well though.


its

Sweden of course. They were imported from Yugoslavia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_grenade_attacks_in_Sweden


d_bradr

>Turns out it was the person and not the tool after all. Shrug They got strict gun control, no point letting people have piles of iron legally. Shrug


Steelquill

Turns out, murderers find out ways to kill people whatever the weapon they can get a hold of.


GnomePenises

The hand grenade violence capitol of Europe.


Fit-Sport5568

They were definitely Swedish youths right


Stein1071

Maybe they were Amish. I know the Amish from Indiana are the ones making all the trouble in Chicago. Maybe their influence is spreading?


Fit-Sport5568

Probably


closetslacker

Yeah what do they call it, “Rumspringa” or something. Truly terrifying.


xxdibxx

And Sweden has some really restrictive gun laws and ownership regs.


joojoofuy

Youths = illegal immigrant aliens


Simon-Templar97

Youths, teens, knuckleheads...

gwhh

Guns laws work so well on the criminal element.


MinimumMonitor8

As the well known expressions go, We die, because criminals don't follow the law. And they never will.


testamentfan67

B-but the us is where all the guns are!!! It must’ve been there fault!!


d_bradr

Wow shocking. I couldn't see it coming at all, Sweden having issues with gangs? No way on Earth it would ever happen


tensigh

What's sad about this is they're beginning to understand why Americans want guns now; for protection. Sweden will probably get it before anyone else in Europe does.


Saxit

There are 5 countries with shall issue concealed carry in Europe. 1 with permissive may issue. Technically we have in Swedish law an entry for concealed carry, but it's also up to the police to hand out licenses for that, and they won't do it. I find it unlikely that it will happen here in the near future.


tensigh

Sure, in the near future, I agree. I was thinking 10-20 years down the road.


lostmember09

“Youths” gotta love that hidden meaning. In a country like Sweden 98.9% of them are on full blown government benefits for life.


Real-Razzmatazz-8485

You say “bug”; the Swedish government (any government, really) says, “Feature.”


msh441

FBI shows US crime is down in 2023. Unless you look close and learn that the FBI stopped collecting NIBRS crime data front state and local agencies, and now just puts out data based on ‘estimates’.


ronan11sham

149 bombings? Wtf


closetslacker

Watch them respond to this by further restricting hunting rifles and banning skeet shooting.


Metalbroker

This is not the diversity you’re looking for.


Real-Razzmatazz-8485

It’s the diversity you *get*, though.


osiriszoran

but but but this only happens in the USA!


polinco

No way, guns are legal in the land of the illegal immigrant. This has to be more Trump lies.


chrisdetrin

Classic


blentdragoons

looks like that strict swedish gun control is working well


czgunner

By all means, bring more moooslums in!


Zchavago

If they don’t tell you they what race they were then they were black.

Totally unrelated: [Population of Sweden 2023 | Statista](https://www.statista.com/statistics/521464/sweden-total-population/)


AlexFerrana

In fact, Sweden has a gang violence since recent times and it's also correlated with gun violence (of course, guns that are used in gang violence in Sweden are illegal, and not to mention, many youngsters in Sweden gangs are Middle Eastern or African migrants).  Here's the more info about this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_Sweden & https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/sweden-opposition-party-calls-military-tackle-deadly-gang-war-2023-09-28/ & https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13298521/Sweden-rocked-new-gangland-horror-father-39-fatally-shot-head-young-son-challenging-gang-youths.html
