"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.
The reuters article is rather sparse, CNN has a more in depth one.
This is the worst mass shooting in Swedish history to date.
Minister of State Ulf Kristersson held a press conference a few hours ago, and the King has issued a statement also.
It's honestly quite draining with the constantly escalating violence. Many here didn't initially react or realize the magnitude when the initial news hit after lunch citing five people shot.
Right now though one of our most prolific Swedish online forums (flashback) is down due to excessive traffic, and last I saw the news have blown up on mainstream platforms too.
Thsi whole planet has got mental health issues and I don't know how the fuck we even start resolving that shit.
When I look at history, it seems the only times that the violence has calmed down are the periods following some immense, extended, extreme violence, to the point that everyone left living is sick and tired of it and says "no more".
And that... that is deeply frightening in the present context.
immense, extended, extreme violence
It's been 80 years since the last round of immense, extended, extreme violence. Those who remember and their children have died, even their grandchildren are old. Here we go again...
What's the famous quote? "Those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it."
I think there is a certain accuracy to that statement, but I feel it also fails to recognize the human element involved. We know history now. The average person today knows far more than anyone in the past knew about history ever and yet ... We continue to make the same mistakes as a species.
Some people just want to make change regardless of direction. We feel restless when things are going too well for too long. Even if it's bad change we seek change regardless.
So that's why purge.
It's not at all the whole planet, but just the people in violent control and those who support them.
Shooter had a hunting license and used his own hunting weapon for the attack. He had no known affiliations with criminals and had no criminal records of his own. He had no income during 2023 according to his tax statements.

Sweden just opened up for the AR styled rifles with big magazines as "Hunting" rifles in 23. With the scant information that has come out so far, it seams likely it was this sort of rifle.
I'm a little sad that the surprising part about this was that it's not in America. :(
What's going on in Sweden? We're not used to hearing about this many shootings in a country other than the US.
Shootings against civilians like this are very rare. The immigrant gangs however hire 15 year old trigger men, pay 10 000 dollars per kill. They usually only go for other gang members. Except when they use explosives.
30 explosions just in January due to a gang war.
The gang leaders are in Iran and lead from a distance. Iran doesn't help.
The immigrant gangs
Lol. This is the same person saying how swedes aren't racist, right?
Creeping fascism like everywhere else.
