I'm aware it isn't uncommon, it's just less remarkable that a couple outfits would carry opinion pieces by the same person than it might be if they were opinion pieces by different people.

And that's the part of the article people are responding to, the opinion, the stuff that isn't in the Sveriges text, about how Sweden should be afraid of what it has done to itself. The Sveriges piece does mention that the homicide rate is still lower than Finland...

Homicides in total yes, but they also disclose that the gun violence is higher than it's neighbours.

"We have a big problem with gang-related violence" http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=2054&art...

And based on these numbers http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=2054&art... it seems that from 2014 to 2017 the number of shootings increased by about 50%, and the number of fatalities have also increased considerably.

And while I don't think that Sweden is as dangerous as Mexico or even the US I do think there is a growing problem there and what scares me even more is the response you often get which what the GP posted above is the most "vanilla" version of it, he or she simply dismissed it and asked if HN is becoming Fox News more often than not you'll simply be stamped as a "trump supporter/nazi/alt-righter" regardless of the context by simply trying to discuss the issue.

The last Jewish friend of mine that lived Malmo left in February this year with her family to Denmark the cause was this: http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=96&artik...

A "demonstration" with 200-300 people proclaiming that they will go and kill Jews and reminding them that the army of Muhammed is returning.

And as far as I know not a single arrest has been made despite the event being promoted on social media and live footage of it available.
