Sweden’s prime minister on Thursday said that he’s summoned the head of the military to discuss how the armed forces can help police deal with an unprecedented crime wave that has shocked the country with almost daily shootings and bombings.

Getting the military involved in crime-fighting would be a highly unusual step for Sweden, underscoring the severity of the gang violence that has claimed a dozen lives across the country this month, including teenagers and innocent bystanders.

Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said that he would meet with the armed forces’ supreme commander and the national police commissioner on Friday to explore “how the armed forces can help police in their work against the criminal gangs.”

        Religion is a cancer. If you let religous people into a secular country they will metastasize. Yes there are some christians in Sweden, but only 1/3rd are even religious enough to bother baptizing their children(which is a requirement to not suffer eternal torture). I’d wager a fair number of those baptisms are a matter of tradition.

        It’s not a matter of their race, it’s a matter of their backwards beliefs about a sky dictator that tells them women and science are evil.
