Re: Facts about migration and crime in Sweden
#72According to the official statistics on The Swedish Crime Survey, the sexual violence rate in Sweden remained about the same between 2005 and 2014. The refugee crisis began around 2014, and since then, the rates for sexual violence went down in 2015[1] something you never see mentioned on certain parts of the internet. 2016 saw an increase in crimes, but still less than pre-immigration levels in 2014. Also the Swedis…

Two completely different things.

First quote: "commit" vs Second quote: "suspected of crimes" Two completely different things.
We don't know who actually committed a crime. That should probably be either "arrested for" or "convicted of".
"Suspected of" probably means "arrested for", but there too, the author has chosen a word that's unclear.

What do you imply exactly? So Swedish police are more likely to suspect you if you are a foreigner, how unexpected.

Well according to this article, crime across the whole country has gone down, so who really cares if there are pockets where the violence is so bad that police can't do their job? I mean, who cares if there are 30 gernade attacks in Malmo [0] as long as overall deaths in Stockholm habe gone down by more than 30? [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_grenade_attacks_in_S...
"The number of confirmed or suspected shootings was 20 per cent higher in 2014 than in 2006. The statistics also show that 17 people were killed with firearms in 2011, while the corresponding figure in 2015 was 33." does anyone else find it strange how they keep jumping around in (what feels like arbitrary) years?

#76Let's go and convince all the victims of crimes in recent years that they're just imaginging things and they're safer then ever. And hand out more "don't grope me" bracelets for extra protection[1].

[edit] Classic HN, don't forget to upvote the guy who says physically assaulting people with different opinions is OK.[2] Sounds tolerant and progressive.
Ban my account, but the comments can stay for exposing your collective hypocrisy for the future. Goodbye.

>The number of reported rapes in Sweden has risen This part atleast, as explained to me, is because rape has a much wider statistical definition. All sexual assault supposedly is classified under it, penetration not required.
The last time the rape law was significantly changed, according to Wikipedia, was in 2005(legislature) and 2008(Supreme Court case). I couldn't read whether the government article cited a source for the law changes(don't know Swedish), so that's the best I have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rape_in_Sweden#Legislation

I disagree. RT is very biased, but is fairly factual once you learn to ignore the bias. They do a lot of pretty impressive journalistic work, like frontline reporting. If you exclude it completely, you miss a big part of the picture.
RT factual? You must have not been following their Ukraine coverage. They're likely the biggest liars of all mainstream media. They were somewhat OK until the Ukraine crisis started, that's when they started going full-retard. RT published an article about the Ukrainian army shooting down that Malaysian passenger plane. I am not sure if it still exists, but I have read it on their web site. Then they quickly started…
Malaysian plane is a very good example of this - they were floating a lot of mad theories absolving Moscow of any guilt but in the end they were still reported just as "versions". It's very hard to catch a media company on outright lies because of such evasive tactics.
