Even a brutal murder didn't stir the Swedes

The Finnish Broadcasting Company Yle reported on the tragedy that occurred in Stockholm, where 39-year-old Mikael, cycling with his 12-year-old son, was shot in an underpass. The murder began when young gang members first shouted something inappropriate at the duo.

As a result, Mikael returned to confront the hecklers, to which a gang member responded by brutally shooting him in front of his son. However, according to the news, no one has been arrested.

We Finns - at least the most clear-headed among us - have long been aware of the slide of Swedish society into an immigrant hell. Yet the descendants of the Vikings have resigned themselves to the current state of the former Nordic powerhouse.

This was starkly demonstrated by the victim's sister's comment, in which she remarked, "Couldn't they have shot him in the leg at least? Who shoots someone in the face like this?" As if the act of shooting itself were somehow natural or even acceptable!?!

In the article, a Swedish criminologist also stated, "The incident leads to even greater uncertainty in intervening in disturbances in residential areas," because people no longer dare to intervene in the despicable actions of immigrant youth as much as before.

In a video captured by Yle, an agitated woman says, "We should be able to walk outside without fear of death. People are afraid to go out." But she doesn't make a concrete suggestion about what should be done about it.

Only the victim's nephew had even a somewhat constructive suggestion for fixing the situation. He demanded, "Bring the army and the police to the streets and take away the guns from the youth. It's just talk here and there, but nothing is being done. The situation is only getting worse."

Yet still, no one demanded addressing the root causes of the violence plaguing Swedish society - at least not according to the Yle article - such as removing the population causing problems from Sweden. Or even halting the continuous influx of migrants from developing countries that has led to these problems.

It's certainly convenient for Finland to shout across the Gulf of Bothnia, as we are about ten years behind Sweden in the "progress" of our society. But it would be even better if the Finnish government and parliament found consensus on the fact that by repeating the mistakes of our neighboring country, we will also inherit their consequences.

And no, the often-mentioned differences in housing policy between Finland and Sweden are not enough to prevent the societal development of our western neighbor from recurring on this side of the Baltic Sea. What is needed is a controlled immigration policy that ensures Finland does not create too large of an ethnically and culturally problematic population.

Unfortunately, there is not a single sign of this. Nor will there be in the future, as we have just accepted that in the future, such ethnically and culturally diverse individuals will be dispersed throughout the EU. Essentially, we have transferred decision-making authority on this matter from Helsinki to Brussels.
