Sweden reports highest number of murders in fifteen years

Sweden reports highest number of murders in fifteen years. Well, well, it appears the European panacea is falling upon its face. Looks like their gun control is too.

Several crime categories showed a large increase: There were 7,370 rapes in 2017 an increase of 10 percent over 2016. The number of murders was the highest since 2002 when Brå started measuring crime statistics.

Firearms were used in more than one third (35 per cent) of the reported murders. The number of murders with firearms increased from 30 to 40.

  • Seen many videos talking about how Sweden's "Feminist Government" is failing and creating these issues.

    We have the perspective that all people (except white males) deserve to be treated well and are opening their doors to a culture they are not compatible with, then are attempting to just let it be because it would not be PC to fight back.

  • Gee, what has changed?
    Gun ownership is the same.
    Laws are the same.
    WAIT!
    IMMIGRANTS FROM MUSLIM COUNTRIES HAVE INCREASED!!
    OK, I'll sit back now and wait for the screams of racism.

  • Wow! This is really stunning news; what could have happened in Sweden to cause this increase in violent crime? It couldn't possibly be the influx of Muslim rapists and murderers, could it? Nah...it must have been that tweet Trump emitted about Swedish crime last fall...
