A gunman has been prowling the streets of Malmö, the third largest town in Sweden, at night lately and has been shooting at immigrants. At least 15-18 immigrants are believed to have been shot by this particular person.
The Attorney General of Sweden, Mrs. Beatice Ask, claims "she is following the situation closely" and that she is "concerned".
Today the Mayor of Malmö, Mr. Ilmar Reepalu, in an opinion piece in Sydsvenskan - "Malmö has had enough" - made an excellent analysis and summary of the situation and placed the responsibility firmly and squarely on Mrs. Asks shoulders. Mayor Reepalu concludes, in his article, that the rule of law cannot make exceptions for certain towns.The people of Malmö have had enough now and must get their sence of security back.
In my opinion Mayor Reepalu makes a a brilliant analysis and a splendid summary of the situation. (Actually I am a bit surprised, because I never agreed with the bugger before...)
The Sweden Democrat Party, the xenophobic option in Swedish politics, has of course already drawn its premature and simplified conclusions. which most of us can completely ignore because they are not based on any analysis, but on their ingrained hatred and contempt for everyone and everything that is not like themselves and think as they do.
It is time to step ut to the plate, Mrs. Ask, and start taking some action. As my Ars always said;
"Actions speak louder than words!"
