And the press conference of the police is also streamed live in 4 hours time.

There has been a discussion about the state of mental healthcare in Sweden recently. With drastic cuts in fundings, numerous nutcases are now out on the streets and we have seen them murdering several people this year.

It's an outrage, that's for sure. I'm not sure if it's likely that we'll see it quickly rectified or anybody resign over it though. We've been cursed with an official culture completely alien to personal responsibility.

I'm really angry, at this policy of letting mentally ill people out into the streets, at Säpo (The Security Police) for their inept handling of what should be one of their most important tasks, and at the fact that the assassin hasn't been caught yet. It's a feeling of deja vu and it only happened, what, half a kilometer from that spot. We'll see though, have to have some hope waiting for the physical evidence to be analyzed and us not knowing exactly what's happening at the moment...

I had to stop all P2P activities for watching the live stream from the medical press conference by the hospital. Well, so far no real news.

So did Anna Lindh. But she also had charm and wits, which Jan O Karlsson has nothing of.

Just listen to those idiotic journalists harassing the surgeons for failing! They are like vultures

[Rasbelin]

Indeed. The point is that now the press suspects that the resources might haven't been good enough and they also refered to the rumors by Aftonbladet. Bah. The only thing they should (IMHO) say is that how injured she actually was. Clearly they didn't fail as she was very badly injured.

[Tattila the Hun]

Clearly, her injuries were severe, even fatal. No kidding.

[Combat Ingrid]

The media reported that her wounds were not life-threatening, something the doctors never claimed. Now the reporters blame the doctors for not telling the truth to the public...

[Rasbelin]

Gee. It looks like the public discussion will be about how good the health care was at the Karolinska hospital, rather than discussing why we have this kind of hitmans that clearly are on loose after previously done something probably similar.

As I understood it, the security at NK said to people that "she was only stabbed in the arm, nothing serious. Keep shopping!". Or something like that.

[SpencerH]

Didnt she say "I've been stabbed in the stomach" (meaning abdomen) right after the attack. That's almost always serious.

[Ambro2000]

the latest now is that they probably have captured the hitman on the securitycams at NK.

hte problem is that yesterday they said that it is illigal to save the recordings from the security cams. Hopefully NK broke that rule....... :O

It is quite ironic that a minister of the govenernment that cut mental clinic funds gets stabbed to death by a homeless mentally ill person. (if that is the case)

[Buck Birdseed]

Mental Health funding isn't provided directly by the government, it goes through the regions like all health funding. And the Psychiatry Reform (which is the major part of the problem) was passed in June 1994 while we still had a Bourgeois goverment.

And the police have taken the homeless dude off the list of suspects.

[Kropotkin]

It would turn out to be a very 'nice' development if mainstream society starts to look at the homeless as threats to not just their walk in the park but to their very lifes. More stigmatisation is probably not what the homless needs.
