As we reported last night, just days after the media mocked Trump for his allegations of major problems with Swedish migrant policies, the president was vindicated after a violent riot broke out in the borough of Rinkeby, also known as "little Mogadishu." Now that the incident is over, in their "post-mortem" Swedish officials confirm that riots erupted in the "heavily immigrant Stockholm suburb" Monday night, as masked looters set cars ablaze and threw rocks at cops, injuring one police officer, Swedish officials said.
The violence erupted just days after President Trump was ridiculed during a Saturday campaign rally for mentioning Sweden alongside a list of European targets of terror. Trump later said his “You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden” remark was in response to a Fox News report on the country’s refugee crime crisis that aired on Friday evening.
"Sweden. They took in large numbers [of refugees],” Trump added at the Florida rally. “They’re having problems like they never thought possible.”
Sweden’s official Twitter account – which is operated by a different user each week – tweeted at Trump on Monday morning: “Hey Don, this is @Sweden speaking! It’s nice of you to care, really, but don’t fall for the hype. Facts: We’re OK!”
Events just hours later refuted that optimistic assessment.
The violence in Rinkeby began around 8 p.m., when officers arrested a suspect at an underground station on drug charges, The Local reported. A group soon gathered, hurling rocks and other objects at officers and prompting one cop to fire his gun “in a situation that demanded he use his firearm,” police spokesman Lars Bystrom said.

Hours later, the Rinkeby riots began, with a second wave starting around 10:30 p.m. Seven or eight cars were set on fire and many stores saw looting, The Local reported. A photographer from media outlet Dagens Nyheter said a group of 15 people beat him as he tried to document the chaos. Swedish Police were forced to fire warning shots at the unidentified group of rioting protesters, who set cars on fire, throwing stones at police and looting local stores.
A police officer was injured during the clashes, forcing law enforcers to fire several warning shots at the crowd, Swedish public service broadcaster SVT reported, citing a local police spokesperson.

The silver lining is that “nobody has been found injured at the scene and we have checked the hospitals and there hasn’t been anyone with what could be gunshot wounds,” Bystrom added.
“I was hit with a lot of punches and kicks both to my body and my head. I have spent the night in hospital,” said the photographer, who was not named. "It looks like a war zone" he added.
The rioting ended just after midnight.
No arrests were made; however, reports were filed on three violent acts, violence against a police officer, two assaults, vandalism and aggravated thefts, authorities said.
As we reported last night, Rinkeby is the same area where an Australian "60 Minutes" crew was attacked by a group of men in April 2016. The film crew was attempting to enter a so-called “no go zone,” which authorities deny they use as a label. Rinkeby, however, has been officially classified as one of 15 “particularly vulnerable” areas across Sweden.
The country's prime minister, Stefan Lofven, said Monday, "Yes, we have challenges like all other countries. There's no doubt. We have a situation in the world where 65 million people had to flee their countries last year, the year before that. 65 million. So that's a war for us together." He also said Sweden was investing more in housing, technology and its welfare system.
Reports of rapes in Sweden jumped 13 percent in 2016 compared to the previous year, and reports of sexual assaults were up 20 percent, according to preliminary data from the Swedish National Council for Crime Prevention. Recent migration to Sweden hit its peak in 2015 with more than 160,000 asylum applications. It dropped to almost 30,000 in 2016.
The mainstream media, so eager to mock Trump's "error" on Saturday, has been oddly delayed in reporting on last night's Swedish violence.
That's nothing. You should see what we did to Syria.
Much worse. What does this have to do with Sweden again?
Blowback.
If we hadn't destroyed MENA, then I find it unlikely that there would be so many MENA refugees in Europe.
Sweden destroyed MENA? That's news to me.
It should be news, because I didn't say that.
By we, I mean mostly France, Israel, USA, UK, and KSA.
Consequences, bitchezzz!!!
You associated "blowback" with "we" ... implying those suffering said blowback (namely Germany and Sweden) are part of this "we", which destroyed MENA.
I blame the US, the UK and France more than the NEURO nations.
Your thoughts?
Trump MAKES the news don't just reports them. EPIC !
The man is a magician.
Let's see some more magic happen:

Trump has put all of the swedish libtards & chicken-shit politicians along with the (((Bonnier Swedish-MSM))) on the defense.
Less than 10 secounds of 'truth sound-bites' got the whole country rollin' their eyes!
Thank You POTUS Trump.
I'm really enjoying it!!!

Stay focused on the big picture. The elites will use this chaos to bring in the police state, which will be used mainly to crack down on ANYONE who doesn’t go along with the agenda. Protect yourself, be anonymous with everything you do online: https://vpnreporter.com/simple-privacy-guide/
Is this the wonderful "multiculturisn" that Barbara Spectre and Paideia is talking about. Thank you Barbara (Israel) for telling us about how grand this was to be.
Not only does The Donald have his finger on the pulse of the people, he's quasi-prescient!

Off topic - It looks like Obama pulled a $400 million weapons sale scam to Kenya on his last day in office. The no-bid contract was awarded to a company who had NEVER built such equipment while ignoring a disabled vetran owned company who had made the planes previously at half the cost. Sounds like Obama was expecting a favor sometime in his post-presidential life from the awarded company.

Because they riot 2 days after his comments is vindication?
Isn't that more like insighting violence ... encouraging? He gave them a rally cry
Let’s get real here. These riots are a backlash against the surging Islamophobia across Europe, which was only exacerbated by Trump’s proposed Muslim ban. This in no way represents Muslims as a whole, and it is both racist and Islamophobic to suggest that it does. Furthermore, this story is yet to be reported by any accredited media outlet, and until it is, it remains FAKE NEWS.

No one cares what you think anymore. Your shock value is gone. Maybe some day you will go with it.
Kreskin, that's good... who remembers Kreskin?
Imagine if tens of thousands of Swedes were force-resettled in Iraq? Can you even imagine such a scenario? How welcomed would they be by the non-culturally suicidal Arabs?
Dr. Kevin MacDonald has a lot to say about the cultural differences between the clannish ethnocentric MENA societies and northern European societies. In self-defense obviously northern Europe will eventually be forced to react (some opportunistic hostile elitist in-groups will say over-react) to the destructive elements that have been injected.
*the non-culturally suicidal Arabs*
they even marry their fvking cousins!
(and not just the Arabs... another Semitic group as well)
Sweden...the country shaped like limp dick is now totally fucked.

Trump never said anything about terrorism in Sweden. Somehow all the media even ZH seemed to get it wrong. Cognitive dissonance ? Something in the water ?!

Trump just grabbed them by thier "slida"
(swedish for pussy)
Security, liberty, multiculturalism. Pick two and only two.
*grinning*
The left has its place if it is truthful and not manipulated from afar.
You can thank Jews like Barbara Lerner Spectre for the warzone in Sweden:

The immigrants set fire to cars to create heat because Sweden is cold. After all they are from warmer climes and they just have not adjusted to winter yet.
Nothing to see here - move along.
Any bets on whether this actually makes the news here in the US? They will cover Trump saying Sweden is having immigrant problems and castigate him on TV for saying it. But, will they backtrack on that statement by showing Sweden rioting? NO is the answer. It's a one-sided game they are playing. Trump needs to do something different with the media because this isn't working. He should start his own network or have someone else do it. Even Fox is playing fuck fuck with Trump.
The story you keep pushing has no real meat in it. Something newer and more indictment worthy would be great. Thanks.
My thoughts are that treating the symptom, instead of the disease, seldom leads to a cure.
Agreed completely.
This "refugee" problem would solve itself if the US would quit empire building.
I still have a hard time making the "blowback" connection in nations that didn't take part in destroying this part of the world. I see these nations as victims of said empire building.
Sweden has made its own choices.
They are not victims.
Fools, maybe.
Best not to impute the sins of a people's government to their respective populations'.
Hopefully things change and soon. If you ever make it out to FFM shoot me a PM and I'll take you to Offenbach am Main and Hanau. You'll swear to God you are on a different continent.
HH Quit while you can..... Haus is taking you to the woodshed bro....
You guys miss a point, the rioters, rapists, criminals don't see Swedes or Frenchman or Britains or Americans. They see white Christians, their enemy.
OK, so I have a biased opinion. But I also have one question: Has Trump been proven wrong on any of these MSM assaults?
Why?
As an American, fortunately, I am sovereign.
Therefore, unfortunately, my government's sins are my sins.
This is why I work to change my government.
Your situation and beliefs may certainly differ.
Quite simply, because governments are run by human beings, exactly like yourself and myself.
Due to their intrinsic humanity, their needs and desires are either consciously or subconsciously paramount to anything and everything else.
Thus, they seek to serve their own needs before that of their constituents. Selflessness is traditionally not an adjective associated with politicians.
Its why imputing the sins of a government to its population is a dubious endeavour, which is not normally grounded in analytical reflection of a specific situation but rather politically motivated to achieve goals which wouldn't otherwise be achievable, save for a population feeling a sense of guilt for their governments' transgressions.
Wow. What was the last law you wrote? The last agency you administered? The last time you enforced a law? Do you pay your taxes willingly, or under the threat of violence?
The notion that you are responsible for The State tells me that you fully swallowed the "Consent of the Governed" myth. I did not expect that from you.
Who keeps voting them in? Where is the Swede's Wilders/Farage?
They seem to embrace the rape culture criminal Islamist up there
You should look at map and figure out where Mogadishu is. Then look at the map again to learn the location Syria, Iraq, and other sites of US military action in the last 20 years.
Here's a clue for the slower kids in the class: they are not co-located.
I know where Mogadishu is, and I also know that "we" have played a significant role in its destruction.
Our democracy building has certainly not been limited to MENA.
Here is a US Soldier enjoying a cigarette in Mogadishu. I forget why, exactly, we deployed troops to Somalia.
Do you remember?
I wonder if he does.
I am sure having US troops in Mogadishu was very important to someone, somewhere.
I did some research on that photo, and some believe it to be fake. Unless that soldier has tourniquets on both legs, he might bleed out rather quickly. I don't think other soldiers would prop the guy up in a chair as he bled out.
Did you consider that Somali freedom fighters might have propped him up and taken the photo?
No, I did not.
If that guy doesn't have tourniquets on both legs, he might bleed out fast. He likely wouldn't be sitting there smoking a cigarette. I (instictively) believe that photo is a fake, but, no, I can't prove it.
Did you consider the possibility that he does have tourniquets on both legs?
Did you consider the possibility it's a training exercise? https://www.good.is/articles/picture-show-iraq-in-the-mojave
good catch
"Somali freedom fighters"? Really? lol.
What is so funny?
Why do you believe the USA invaded Somalia?
