"School shooting"
"No terrorist intent"
Oh, so the terrorist is white..
What does skin color have to with it being classified as terror crime or not? This isn't America.
This is verbatim what the police press officer said
Det finns nu inga misstankar om att det handlar om ett terrorbrott, och polisen tror att mannen har agerat på egen hand, även om man inte utesluter fler med koppling till dådet, säger Roberto Eid Forest.
Well, maybe hate crime.
I understand not jumping to conclusions, but a white man shooting up a school for immigrants kinda sounds like a duck
While it definitely appears to be a hate crime, i just cant emphasize how different racial relationships are in Sweden compared to USA.
We didn't have a constitution that said people are free, whilst justifying slaves by saying they weren't human, since they were "black"
What we have are cultures that completely clash in modern times due to many, many reasons.
Hate crime, likely, but we don't know. Because Swedish authorities doesn't publicize such info out of concerns of privacy for potentially innocent adjacent.
Grotuesquely enough one tabloid called the suspects father and started asking "why he did it". He hadn't even heard of the crime on the news yet. Its fucking disgusting what they did.
Terrorism, not likely. And saying anything else while the bodies were still warm would have been basis for dismissal as press officer.
Thank you for providing context for Sweden, where this happened, for the fuckers who think USA is global.
For context, I'm from Italy. I'm just worried about the kind of violence directed specifically towards anyone "different", whether it's about skin color, place of origin or anything else
Yeah these people acting like sweden/europe is some kind of racial utopia are completely bonkers.
Culture != Color of skin
Some day you might understand, but i dont have the energy to delwe into it with an obvious spam-troll.
Hey some of us americans arent fucking at all so I resent this statement

Jesus christ, imagine finding out your son is the perpetuator of a horrific shooting and is dead from a tabloid reporter. I have way more sympathy for the families of the actual victims but it's still awful for the father.
I knew a guy who died in a car wreck in northern Norway and the picture of the wreck was up on the front page of the paper before his mother was notified. She found out by opening the website and seeing her sons car.

So you're not racist, but just involved in a "culture clash"? Hmmm.
I'm white and went to a school like that to get my missing qualifications for university admission. University admission is based on having certain grades in certain classes. So if you want to study something that you didn't take the classes for in high school, then you need to take them as an adult. I for example had to take a mathematics class. There were about 50/50 Europeans/non Europeans at the school I went to.
That statement verbatim does less than you probably expected in clarifying.
I think that's the point. A bit of a reality check for those people who believe they know how things work in other countries based on their very superficial POV, despite failing at the basics.
If they're failing at the basics, maybe they should go to komvux.
Propaganda machine go brrrrrrrrrr
Are you from Sweden? Everyone from Scandinavia is aware that race relations are not great (especially in Sweden). But information on race and cultural background are genuinely not collected. This is because they're trying desperately not to cause divisions in society (it doesn't work because everyone jumps to conclusions anyway).
Furthermore skin colour actually has very little to do with shooters being classified as terrorists in Scandinavia because Norway's worst terrorist (and not a single fucking person here would classify him as anything else) was very white, very Norwegian and very proud of that fact.
In fact until 2001 most if the terrorist groups people were familiar with in Europe were white national separatist groups like the IRA and ETA. They were classified as terrorist groups because
1: they are a group
and most importantly
2: they commit acts of terror.
Norway’s worst terrorist (and not a single fucking person here would classify him as anything else) was very white, very Norwegian
So were his victims.
His victims were a pretty representative cross section of Norwegian kids. But his motivation was anti immigration/ fascist ideology.
