But I at least had the decency to bring my own knife.
Here’s the setup. These two Muslim ‘asylum-seekers,’ whatever that is but let it go, are shopping at the big Ikea store in Stockholm – which must be absolutely awesome, but again I digress – when they…
…I dunno, what are we calling this? They suffer one of those little episodes? Take the voices in their heads too literally? Perform a pious act of holy sanctification? Prepare a resumé for their ISIS application featuring audience participation? Take an unacceptably direct approach to the problem of unbelievers in slow checkout lines? Whatever – they saw some lady’s head off and stab her son to death.
In a big Ikea store, which means a sharp knife probably wasn’t hard to find.
As Brietbart dryly reports,
The response of the Swedish authorities to the ‘stabbings’ which killed what is reported to be a Swedish native mother and son shopping in the Västerås branch of IKEA – the largest in the country – has mystified some international observers.
Yeah, the police increased security at ‘asylum-lodgings,’ to protect the immigrants from “dark forces in society.” Which I didn’t know Sweden had any of those. Isn’t Sweden supposed to be a utopia? Like San Francisco but with more blonds, is what I heard.
Either way, I’d guess the last thoughts of the lady at the Ikea store involved something about dark forces in society, and how she wished she had some protection from them.
This measure, while possibly necessary, did not of course go nearly deep enough for a socialist state. Open wide and say “Ba-a-a-a-a…”
IKEA itself has now joined in with Västerås store manager telling local media that knives will be removed from shelves, a “temporary” move the chain presumably hopes will neuter the desire some in society feel to murder strangers.
Of course they did.
Yeah, that’ll work.
Just goes to show that appearances are more important than reality. Who’da thunk it?
Joel: Bad link, one too many “h”s in http
What happens when one of these incidents occurs in a hardware store and authorities have to remove all potential weapons?
Sorry, link fixed.
Sudden Jihadi Syndrome strikes again…
Authorities have taken steps to protect against the ““dark forces in society”.” … which must be combated to protect the murderers from vigilante retribution?
I probably don’t fully understand the European system of justice. Here in Oregon we call it “Hang ‘Em High and let God sort ’em out” …..but then I suppose that this qualifies us as among the “Dark forces of society”.
Oh, well, never mind. We have plenty of “sharp pointy things” out here in The Great NorthWet.
We would be glad to share them with our brethren in Sweden who see, to be stymied by governmental political correctness.
The series of three “time watch” documentaries, shown by the BBC in the early nineties, publicising the uncovering of a secret army, “gladio” in Italy.
Seem to have gone down the memory hole.
Gladio received its orders from NATO HQ. In the mid sixties, they had received orders to infiltrate leftist groups, and to either recruit promising patsies, and if they couldn’t find any, to stage atrocities themselves under the lefties flag.
The Milan and Bologna railway station bombings and the kidnap and murder of former Christian democrat prime minister, Aldo Moro, in Rome, were among the largest of the false flag atrocities. But pretty much anything in that time period that was attributed to the red brigades, bada meinhoff etc, was found by the parliamentary enquiries that followed the uncovering of gladio at the end of the eighties, to have had their origins in London and DC.
Alan Francovitch, who researched for the documentaries, later died while being questioned by US immigration…
History doesn’t repeat itself exactly, but it does rhyme.
