Stockholm Riots Continue for Third Night

STOCKHOLM�Cars and buildings were smoldering early Wednesday after a
third-straight night of rioting around Sweden�s capital, in what has
become the country�s worst outbreak of civil unrest in years.
...snip
Disturbances were reported in six areas as the violence moved closer
to central Stockholm. More than a dozen people torched cars, set a
couple of buildings on fire and smashed windows at a police station in
the Jakobsberg area, about 15 kilometers (9 miles) north of the city
center.
...snip
Demonstrators and community activists have attributed the rioting to
anger over the May 13 fatal shooting by police of a 69-year-old manwho
police said had been brandishing a large knife or machete.

The man was shot inside his apartment in Husby, a poor suburb of about
11,000 people, mostly immigrants and refugees from Turkey, Lebanon,
Syria and Somalia. Police didn�t release his name or nationality.

I'll bet. The Sweden Democrats may be able to rehabilitate the word
'democrat'. Bevara Sverige Svenskt.
