Swedish Criminals

There seems to be a shooting once a day here in Sweden now. I and many others are becoming desensitized about the all the death and shootings.

It's mostly gangs killing other gangs, but once in a while innocent people get shot too. Like a young girl who was shot dead while out with her dog. Some say she shouldn't have been out late at night, I say who cares? She should be able to go out any damn time she wants and not get shot because of a gang conflict. Besides, who knows, maybe her dog needed to go out at that time? Either way, she has every right to move about in her society any way she pleases without getting shot at.

I am tired and I want change. I have a few ideas on how to fix the criminal problem and some of those ideas are non-lethal.

I do wonder about the individuals who pick a career as a criminal, what in the world is in their minds? They live in Sweden, where you have very good social security, there shouldn't be a need for crime. But I've seen the type, in their rap videos showing off weapons and cursing like they recently learned how to speak. There seems to be some romantic idea about being a gangster, that it's cool and you'll get rich... but in the end they're just a pest that nobody sane likes.

There has even been a tv series made about the whole thing, further romanticising it.

I believe the gangsters are a part of the reason the far right is winning ground in Sweden. They will be their own undoing if they keep it up.
