Another Killing in Crime-Ridden Sweden

in the early morning on Thursday, the 11th of September 2003 by Scott

Swedish Foreign Minister Anna Lindh died today from wounds suffered when she was stabbed in a department store. Police didn’t believe the attack was politically motivated.

Of course not. Everyone knows how bad crime is today in Sweden. Hell, one can’t even shop in high-class retail establishments without getting a knife in the ol’ liver. Happens all the time. Yep.

This just proves that crime is much more egalitarian in Sweden. 17 years ago the Prime Minister was assassinated on a street in broad daylight - and his killing remains unsolved. This also proves that the police in Sweden avoid favoritism unlike in the USA. The murder of Chandra Levy, an intern for a Californian congressman, remains unsolved there but look at how fast the assassins of major political figures are caught. Lee Harvey Oswald. Sirhan Sirhan. John Hinckley. All these guys were caught quickly, while the murder of some young intern remains unsolved. The widening gap between rich and poor is shown even in the pace of the solving of crimes.

However in Sweden, police incompetance shows no such favoritism. Though the death of the Swedish equivalent of Colin Powell might lead one to believe that politics might have SOMETHING to do with the murder, you can rest assured that the Swedish authorities will bungle the investigation just as well as say, the LAPD in the OJ Simpson case.

Long live Swedish egalitarianism!!!
