Sweden outlaws baseball bats???

According to Swedish law the possession of dangerous items such as knives, and other weapons "designed to be used as a weapon in crimes against life or limb", are not permitted in a public place.

That's ok. Obviously, someone, at some point, had the good sense to get out.

I still have family there. Last trip over two of the younger ones said they were embarrassed at the current mentality which equated neutrality and peacefulness as ball-lessness.

The City of Malmo has essential been destroyed as a decent place by immigration. Public outcry over Islamic attacks on native swedes is seen as racially motivated even after a local Iman decreed that rape or assault on an scandanavian was not a "sin" and in fact, preferable to premarital sex between Muslims.

I was shocked when two of the younger kids openly referred to Somali immigrants as "sand ni@&$rs" and were upset that two of the favorite hangouts were no longer safe to go to because car loads of immigrants would drive around looking for single or small groups of girls. Even my cousin who is in her mid forties said she had been harassed on the train and would no longer ride alone. If she could not find someone to ride with, she would call someone to drive I'n the fifty miles and pick her up.

I believe there will be a change soon. There had been a gag order on candidates even talking about it but that rule has been hollowed out and they now have been able to discuss "internal difficulties" which everyone knew was code.




Just to brag a bit. I have never met him but the owner of this company is married to another relative. Our great great grandfathers were brothers I am told. http://www.koenigsegg.com/

Word from a couple of friends/relatives is that the police are getting jumpy, because they are still on orders to be enforcers for the appeasing pacifist politicos, but there is a growing undercurrent of people who are just fed up with all the BS from these non-integrated immigrants.

Had he kept his mouth shut, Instead he made the statement of feeling better having the bat next to him on the seat.
Otherwise useing there own description of a weapon, A baseball bat is not designed to be used as a weapon but a piece of sporting equipment.

Exactly. Have your baseball glove in your car, too.

Good Guy/ Bad Guy; I guess it depends on your sense of morality
There hasn't ben any notable condemnation of the threats and and attacks on this man among the world's 2 billion plus muslims.... so there are those in Scandinavia and elsewhere on the planet who believe the cartoonist is the bad guy.

From the Guardian UK:

The Danish cartoonist who survived an axe attack

In September 2005, the Danish cartoonist Kurt Westergaard was asked by his newspaper, Jyllands-Posten, to draw the prophet Muhammad "as you see him". He did, and it changed his life. The resulting cartoon was deemed blasphemous by hardline Muslims around the world and drew death threats. More than four years later, after Westergaard had already been forced to spend a harrowing few months on the run with his wife Gitte, a 28-year-old man of Somali origin forced his way into their home last Friday evening wielding an axe and a knife.

So, I wonder if Geert Wilders is still being denounced as a demagog? Well, credibly, anyway?
