In a shocking move, this country has decided to step away from ‘political correctness’ and do what is best for the safety of its society as a whole. The Swedish Prime Minister has announced plans to tackle the gang crisis within the country by taking a hard stance: deportation of foreigners connected to gangs.
Sweden has been suffering with gangs for many years, and it’s gotten so bad that police have warned of a “systemic societal collapse” if they aren’t stopped soon. This is an issue that can no longer be ignored or swept under the rug, and it’s refreshing to see Sweden take a stand against this violence.
During a speech, the Swedish Prime Minister made this statement:
“This is a difficult time for Sweden. A 25 year old woman went to sleep, a completely normal night. But she was not allowed to wake up again. This morning she was killed in a bombing in Uppsala…A week ago a 70 year old man went to a bar in Sandviken to spend time with his friends. He was not allowed to come home again. He was blind and he was shot to death…My thoughts are also with those three kids, 13, 14 and 14 years old who were found assassinated in forest areas outside of Stockholm…Now more children and completely innocent people are falling victim to this serious violence. I cannot enough say how serious the situation is. Sweden has never before seen anything like this. No other country in Europe see something like this…Everyone who wants to tell the police about the gangs reign of terror, but don’t dare out of fear for their own lives and their children’s lives.
How could it become this bad? The fact is that we are many who saw this coming and warned about it. This organized crime has grown in over a decade, in just 10 years, violent deadly shootings have tripled. It is political naivety and ignorance that has brought us here. It is a reckless migration policy and a failed integration that has brought us here. Exclusion and parallel societies is feeding the criminal gangs. There they can recklessly recruit children and educate the murderers of the future. Swedish law is not designed for gang warfare and child soldiers. But we are changing that now. This government is changing the migration policy…We are doubling the sentences for serious weapons crime and crimes involving explosives…We are going to introduce containment sentences so that really dangerous criminals will never get out. And we will deport those foreigners that are involved in the criminal gangs, even if they have not yet been convicted of any crime…We are going to build youth prisons so that youth are separated from adult criminals and we will make sure that all children learn Swedish with language screening and law school in socially vulnerable areas. We are going to deploy the resources that are needed. Everything is on the table. I have tomorrow called in the police chief and the commander in chief to see how the military can help the police in their work against the criminal gangs…We are going to do what is necessary to restore safety in Sweden”.
Only time will tell if these new measures taken by the Swedish government will make any real difference in reducing gang violence in their country. While it certainly won’t be easy, at least we know that something is actually being done about it.
