Sweden’s prime minister on Thursday said that he’s summoned the head of the military to discuss how the armed forces can help police deal with an unprecedented crime wave that has shocked the country with almost daily shootings and bombings.

Getting the military involved in crime-fighting would be a highly unusual step for Sweden, underscoring the severity of the gang violence that has claimed a dozen lives across the country this month, including teenagers and innocent bystanders.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said that he would meet with the armed forces’ supreme commander and the national police commissioner on Friday to explore “how the armed forces can help police in their work against the criminal gangs.”

    As someone from the Northeast US that has lived here for the better part of 4 decades, people that live in gated communities are usually either retirees or twats scared of their own shadows.

        How do you resolve the contradiction of being anti-immigration while being an immigrant yourself?

            You stated that you live in the United States and are originally from Sweden. Unless you made part of that up, that makes you an immigrant.

              Twats like him call themselves expats and imagine that they can’t be immigrants because they’re white.

                  Imagine being this dense and oblivious, but somehow still believe you’re superior to anyone in any way whatsoever.

                    Then once again, say something that’s productive to the conversation. Or just continue your need to keep adding empty comments that do not add to the discussion.

              So if you were born in Uzbekistan, that makes you Uzbekistani, no exceptions?

                There are exceptions, mainly if your parent is a foreign national in another country for work temporarily when you are born; the families of American military personnel stationed abroad comes to mind for me. Do you feel there’s something contextual about your situation that doesn’t qualify you an immigrant (such as being born with American Citizenship)? I ask because given what you’ve shared you sound deeply hypocritical.

                  I was raised both between my mother - none of of your concern!? As you stated there are several ways for me to move/live between both us/sweden and don’t forget us/eu. Now are you going to discuss anything political regarding the issue of swedish police needing heavier handed tactics to deal with gang crime, a unheard of thought in Sweden just fifteen years ago, or the immigration issue leading up to it. or just name call? And nitpick as you have little to actually add other than looking for issues and discrepancies in others statements, and opinions man.

                Nope. No other possibility. None at all. Let’s close it up and go home.
