Why are Swedes baffled by riots?

Swedes say "they don't know why they (rioters) are doing this":

I don't know either, but I suggest they look at the following possibilities which have led to similar behavior elsewhere:

  • maybe police are not treating people with dignity and respect
  • maybe people feel they have no future
  • maybe people are fed up with wealth inequality
  • maybe people are hungry and/or homeless
  • maybe people are angry that freedom of speech, press, religion, and/or assembly have been infringed
  • maybe people are mad that Sweden is helping persecute Julian Assange and in general being America's stooge

Usually governments say that such things do not excuse hooliganism and rioting, but the same governments often bomb and make war on other countries for similar flimsy pretenses.

Maybe people are just fed up with the kind of shit we are continually served by our governments, their police, and their lackeys in the MSM, who kiss the asses of the rich and powerful while ridiculing the rest of us poor slobs at the bottom.
