RIOT IN MALMO SWEDEN

graphic swiped from gatesofvienna NOTE, this is a pic from another Muslim riot.

The reaction of the authorities in Malmo are another pitiful example of dhimmitude before the fact.

The parallels of the American race riots of the 60's and the Muslim riots of the new century are revealing. Both were aimed at coercing government to give them something. Both were inspired by perceived inequities. Both were carried out by minority "youths" knowing full well that there was little likelihood of apprehension, much less prosecution. And if they were caught, that became a badge of honor.

The American riots subsided when government gave in via programs and handouts. Knuckling under worked to appease a bunch of thugs, but it won’t work for a mob of religious fanatics. There is no end to fanaticism.

Dymphna asks the question: What is it about arson and adolescent males? Simple, it creates a diversion and gives light by which to loot.

Malmö: A Hot Time in the Old Town Last Night
by Dymphna
Here are the highlights of the latest “youth” rampage from Sydsvenska Dagbladet, the largest newspaper in the south of Sweden. For our American audience, I have heavily edited/commented on the translated version I received - mainly because the lack of action by the police feels so foreign to American sentiments.

[NOTE: while I was given the source for the story, there was no link provided. It’s difficult to find a link to a story in a language you don’t read. Nonetheless, it was a trustworthy source.]

Sounds like the police and fire personnel were busy all night in Rosengård:

Last night, the police were subjected to stone throwing in Rosengård, a district of Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden.

The first incident was sparked by an incident with a young man armed with a sword. As the police began filling out an incident report on his activities, a group of young people began throwing stones at the officers. The police stated they then backed off in order to “calm down the situation.” [That strategy worked as well as it always does with disorderly crowds, especially adolescents]

Soon gang reinforcements arrived and by 8:30 p.m. at least fifteen teenagers were engaged in throwing stones, eggs, and bottles. When they set fire to a storage shed, the fire department arrived and met the same treatment. The fire personnel said “because of…the current violence and disturbances in the area [we] will wait for police backup before we enter the area…”

By 11:00 p.m. two storage facilities were blazing. A large contingent of police officers arrived, which allowed the fire department to get near enough to the conflagrations to extinguish the fires.

Stone-throwing started again, but no one was hurt and no arrests were made.

An hour later [wash, rinse, repeat]…another storage facility was torched; the firemen went in with police backup and put out the fire. Due to the necessary wait for police, the fire grew larger and additional units had to be called in to deal with the blaze.

Meanwhile, a nearby store was attacked with stones and again the police came, only to be subjected again to a barrage of rocks. [Repeat after me: no arrests were made]

Jihad Watch was on the story last night, but I could find not one mention of this anywhere in the international news outlets. JW has The Local newspaper version now, but T.L. didn't have the story up last night. Scroll down the Jihad Watch page to see the earliest version, and links to Patrick Perrson Press pictures. What is it about arson and adolescent males?

Maybe mayhem in Malmö simply isn’t considered breaking (so to speak) news. If it doesn’t bleed, it doesn’t lede, and fires aren’t enough to rate a mention anymore. If it’s Saturday night in Rosengård, there’ll be a hot time in the old town tonight…or however the old song went.
