Profiling

[Roamy]

As far as I know, the victims weren't the same nationality or ethnicity, only thing common was that they were immigrants.

Great were they driving Saabs or Volvos?

"linking up to 15..." So the police don't know how many for sure, it would seem. I too, fail to see the racial issue based upon the article. The shooter seems to be targeting"immigrants", in a heavily Islamic area, and some of the targets have been women. One dead out of a possible 15 targets would indicate a small caliber weapon, possibly a .22 rim fire, fired from longer than average range accounting for the lack of lethality, especially after having to penetrate barriers such as window glass.

I would suggest this might even be a rift between 2 or more Islamic sects. A philosophical or Sharia difference. Maybe an immigrant trying to thin out the waiting list by eliminating those ahead of him.

About half of the human population are women and shooting women isn't an Islamic trait, others do it too. For example the Kauhajoki school shooter shot 8 women and only two men, and the shooter was most likely Lutheran:

Then he/she must have known the victims, because a philosophical difference doesn't usually show in the face. Furthermore, the Swedish police might be dumb, but I'm sure even they would have noticed if the victims were from the same Islamic sect.

Could be a lot of things. The article doesn't give many, if any, details.

That doesn't stop some people having a go at foreigners (read "immigrants" in their world).

Fail?! After what they inherited and now look. Ford with record profits, more jobs, health care at least being implemented. Cutting the tax breaks of the wealth by wow a huge 3%. Getting the troops home from Iraq as promised.

Fail, I'd like to know how you must seem to believe that after eight years , countless deaths of innocent, worst attack on the mail and, losing both our youth in mind and body based upon deceit. Dealing NOW with the massive deficit created by the already proven intent that we invade Iraq when we should not have and where is the guy that started all the mayhem. In a cave in Pakistan I imagine.

So to those that were all gung-ho about the war and it's Fox cheerleaders. Your excuse at the time to rationalize it was to save the poor poor Iraqi citizens. Muslims, right?! Yet in the same breath you demonize those same people when they try to build a community center with a prayer area in it. Also one for Jews and Christians.

I have had some dealing with Police in a number of countries, including (but not limited to) Sweden, Germany, France, UK, Canada, USA and China.
The Swedish Police, at the patrolman level seemed slightly mentally retarded, some of their bosses and those in "Spaning" (va fan är ''spaning'' på englski?)
seemed severely mentally retarded.
I was surprised that they could find the door.

You know what they say, the reason why Swedish policemen patrol in pairs is that one can read and the other one can write.

Read the article - it says they are racially motivated

Whenever someone non-white is killed, they always say it is racially motivated, but 99,9% of the times they find out that another non-white was behind the killing.

I couldn't see a British Neo Nazi, for example, targeting white, British people

Yeah, a non-white is far more likely to be the culprit.

FFS I was saying that Roamysto was failing not the US government. For the record Id've voted for Obama if I was a yank
