Lucky you're here!

Not in Sweden, it isn't. Ad hominem all the way.

There are examples in recent history that support this model: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1983_Israel_bank_stock_crisis

You mean your fellow Finns that are the largest group of immigrants and that have been overrepresented in crime statistics?


Oh wow. Tried to figure that out from my username? Nice. Except I'm actually from Turkey, but I've been living 15 years in Finland. Good try though.

In almost every single case the foreigners are more likely to commit crimes in a country than the native population. This is completely natural due to cultural differences and being unaware of some special laws etc. Also Swedes are significantly overrepresented in Finnish crime statistics (3-4 times more likely to commit crimes than native Finns, Americans 2-3 times).

Now let's stop pretending like we don't know what's this about. Middle-Eastern (including Turkey where I'm from) and African immigrants are clearly the biggest criminal group in almost every single crime type. Especially serious offenses like rape, murder, assault etc. 15-20 times more likely to commit serious crimes. That's what I mean and that's what the statistics and research conclusively show.

Quite irresponsible to try to compare some Finns getting parking tickets to organized crime and terrorism.


The Finns were overrepresented in Swedish prisons for decades. They weren't there for parking tickets.

My comment does not break any guideline. Your comment, however, does.


The comment was uncivil by presuming nationality on the part of a fellow commenter and then attacking them for it.

That's nationalistic flamebait, one of the worst kinds of flamebait, and it definitely breaks the site guidelines as moderators here interpret them.
