Sweden has huge problems with gang crime at the moment. Pretty much every day you wake up to news of someone or a few have been shot and and that residential properties have been subjected to bombings.
Our previous government said time and time again that the risk of a third person being affected was microscopically small. Unfortunately, the previous Social Democratic government got this issue wrong as well.
Yesterday afternoon, four people were shot in the square in a suburb of Stockholm. One of the people, a 15-year-old gang criminal, died. The other three injured persons are a 15-year-old youth and a man and woman between 40-65 years of age.
The day before yesterday, an 11-year-old boy who was out cycling was hit by a 27-year-old man who turned out to be a gang leader. The 27-year-old man was under the influence of drugs at the time. The boy died from his injuries. Directly at the scene, there was a fight when henchmen of the gang leader threatened witnesses. The police had to use tear gas on the spot.
Regardless of what anyone with their political sympathies on the left says, we did not have this type of crime.
