Yeah Sweden failed at taking in too many while at the same time no good plans for intergration along with bad unsupportive school system and police/justice system.

To sum it up...
Taking in too many, failed at integration, sticking fingers in ears and screaming "racist" when it gets pointed out.

International news rarely cared about this.

Sometimes you may find an article reporting about the statistics of how many bombings they had in a year, but most of them are already about 2019.

Because of that, it's not well known that Sweden and Malm in particular have quite some issued with grenade attacks.

But they had these problems for years now. No idea if it had become better over time (and over covid) at all, but doesn't look like it.

Yeah, even good countries have this problem. Its just that gang violence is usually targeted toward other gangs, and the police most definitely take a let them eat each other approach, though theyd never admit it.

You don't need to read papers by certified clown and Bulletin founder Tino Sanandaji.

A very clear red thread can be drawn from social services and schools getting constantly defunded, to vulnerable kids getting recruited by organized crime. Sure, you can call it bad integration, but it's just bad social politics in general.

Could be improvised. I havent looked into this story or previous ones though, so if theyve actually been using genuine military-grade grenades, then good question.

While Mexico has a murder rate 20 times that of Sweden, on the specific category of grenade explosions per capita the two countries were comparable at the time

Wtf. Mexico is that bad because of cartel shit.

In 2019, Denmark, worried about the bombings in Sweden, introduced passport controls on its border checkpoints with Sweden for the first time since the 1950s

Damn. I had no idea about this. Bad enough to change policies that had been in place for decades

I dont think Ive ever heard about anybody getting hurt or killed directly by the explosions, just some minor injuries by shattered glass from the blastwave.

Many of the gangs weapons are smuggled in, and the sellers are giving away leftover grenades from the Balkan War for free as goodwill.
That said, many of the explosive devices are homemade.

The ethnicity of suspects or convicted criminals are never reported.
And there is at least one example of when state TV news didnt report when we had 3 explosions in Stockholm in the same day some years ago. It was however reported by news papers so it is not really swept away.

That sucks. I had no idea Sweden had that kind of problem. One of my friends wanted to move there and even traveled there before the pandemic. I know I don't often hear about stuff in Canada unless it's major or I put CBC tv on but it feels like if this is going on there, I should have heard about that at some point.

I don't look at the paper much anymore but it feels like I should heard that news somewhere.
