Instead of fixing the root causes of gang violence, Sweden is about to turn itself into a militarized surveillance state.

Wonderful.

Far right populists at work.

Trading freedom for security already.

Ah yes, it's far right populists that caused this and not the gangs who killed two people in shootings and another in an explosion in Stockholm just two days ago... lmao

Sweden is following the path that France led.

Hope this country can find a solution other than burying the head in the sand (spoiler: France already demonstrated that it doesn't work)
