Apparently happening in 3 different cities.

Why does this news never make our msn?

[Mamyalynne]

It is filtering through now.

What a mess, nightmare.

[sunny-dave]

"Because it doesn't suit the agenda of our main news networks" is the obvious answer - whether that is true is anyone's guess.

I would opine that Sweden has made itself a terrible mess, with some very flawed open-door policies in the last 20 years - they seem to be reaping the whirlwind.

No, Mamya...that's the Mail and you know what ABers think about the Mail.

I often see stories about France and Sweden's car burners, yet I have never seen the phenomenon reported on by Sky or BBC or 4news or....

[ladybirder]

Happening in Malmo, Gothenburg and Stockholm. Lots of pictures on YouTube. What the hell's going on? How does doing that solve anything?

[fender62]

maybe sky and the bbc do not want to show the negative side of diversity...

"Last night in Sweden! Sweden?"

Wouldn't believe any of this until Snopes have done the fact-checking.

[vetuste_ennemi]

Snopes got it right on the infamous Trump quote.

The Rinkeby riot did not take place the night before[i Trump mentioned it. It happened the night [i]after].

[vetuste_ennemi]

Having bothered to read the link it's only sixty cars, isn't it?

Guess the causes are the same as, or similar to, the infrequently reported attacks by "youths" in France on lots of inanimate objects with four wheels (and the occasional animate object in police uniform): institutional racism, lack of job opportunities and the alienation you feel living in a Parisian banlieue, or ten metres away from a Swedish Ikea.

The need for the arsonists to be blond and blue-eyed is almost palpable.

[Gromit]

Other than there have been some arson attacks, there isn’t much information to report.
The men are covered so we do not yet know who they are.. The fire attacks appear coordinated and well organised.
An election is taking place in Sweden soon, so it may be an attempt to set the agenda for that.
We will have to wait and see what facts emerge.

[ichkeria]

It certainly suits the ‘agenda’ of some news sites tho. It’s like everything else: if the bee in one’s bonnet isn’t buzzing loudly enough for everyone to hear them it’s obviously a conspiracy of silence.

[fiction-factory]

Sweden does seem to have a lot more problems than it did 20 years ago.
STrangely I've checked and Brietbart hasn't reported it yet .
I haven't checked yet but does anyone know whether the Swedish main TV channels reported the Moss Side shootings yesterday.

[youngmafbog]

Poor Sweeden. What have they done to their country?

[Gromit]

// "We know from experience that these kinds of fires more often happen the week before schools start than other weeks," police spokesperson Ulla Brehm told TT.

Gothenburg police said on Monday morning they believed the attacks had been coordinated on social media, but added that they were still investigating and were not yet able to confirm that that was the case. //

Do you actually believe it is school kids starting these car fires Gromit?

[naomi24]

Do you actually expect a straight answer to that, Talbot?

[-Talbot-]

No, I expect the usual obfuscation.

I obviously do not know who is responsible for this coordinated attack but I don't believe it is mardy children who are a tad naffed off because they have to go back to school.

[ladybirder]

You can see in the pictures they are not children.

Reports that I have read (none on “mainstream” news, it has to be said) suggest that refugee centres are being systematically torched across the country. There have now been three in as many days (though once again, none has reached “proper” news AFAIK).

I had the misfortune to visit Malmo about three years ago. It was an absolute nightmare and if I hadn’t seen the signposts I would not have believed I was in Europe, let alone Sweden. Whatever the cause or the results of these latest events it is clear that immigration in Sweden has become an enormous problem and their ridiculous “open door” policy has ruined what was perhaps one of the nicest countries in Europe. You reap what you sew and the hapless Swedes have certainly sewn a very invasive crop.
