But let's quit this threadjack

[Buck Birdseed]

Indeed.

[Kropotkin]

Anyhow, everything they've found implies that they gonna get him. However, considering the swedish police ability to fail as soon as something get the slightest of media attention I bet they woun't.

[Combat Ingrid]

True, but at least they have some fingerprints and lots of witnesses, I think they have a decent chance to catch him.

Btw, I just heard that the Yes camp (to join euro) appeared to have got a big boost since tuesday. Seems like they might get lots of sympathy votes after all. Also, the referendum on sunday is maybe not a given "no" anymore.

Those leftist punks in Gothenburg had it coming. After all, they tried to violently break in and stop a meeting between Anna Lindh and her EU collegues. It might even be one from their ranks who did it, we don't know that yet.

Please don't jump to conclusions. Most of the frustration on the left is because we see to much violence. Disrupting meetings over what one considers dangerous policies is a breach of normal behaviour, but nowhere close to murder.

Sweden, You've lost a PM and the heir-appaernt PM, it's time you faced the facts as America has. I agree, it stinks.

CI: Yep, heard something about 50-50 in one poll. Of cource, the margin of error is usually around +/- 3 % in such polls, but it's still a significant change if the poll was done in a professional way.

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)

Exactly my thoughts too. But according to the news today, it's not really the funding cuts, but the change of policy. Instead of medication and locked institutions, they use discussion therapy and volontary treatment, typical leftist methods invented by those who deny the impact of biology on human behavior.

Now the Social Democrats want us to participate in manifestations and tourch marches against violence, when the real problem is the hippie (flum) politics the Social Democrats stand for.

Well, those that gain a income by selling flowers are making a lot of money. Tragedy is good for the economy.

Throwing 2 kg stones at peoples head is close to murder. Actually, it is a common execution method in the Muslim world.
