    Instead of fixing the root causes of gang violence, Sweden is about to turn itself into a militarized surveillance state.

    Wonderful.

      The protection cited in the article is for buildings. Alright? No one is becoming a militarized surveillance state over buildings being protected by the military.

      This is a prime minister wanting to look strong in tough times, not a country becoming a surveillance state.

    Sweden’s “leader”… so their president? The title makes it sound like it’s North Korea

        That too. I wonder what legal authority the military even has over civilians. Where I come from the military has absolutely no authority, except in times of war and when it comes to protecting the outer borders of the country.
