My interest in visiting my partial-ancestral homeland of Sweden declines by the hour:

Swedish police being ATTACKED as they struggle in ‘NO GO ZONES’ as migrant crime rockets

Some 52 areas have been put on a ‘”blacklist” which are then divided into three categories from “risk areas” to “seriously vulnerable”.

And the report revealed Sweden’s Capital Stockholm had over 20 no-go areas where over 75,000 people live. 

Spectacular.

Should be interesting to see what effect this has on the Swedish welfare state. By most metrics Sweden is already pretty poverty stricken, well below most US states (only Mississippi being poorer by many measures), so they don’t exactly have a whole lot of economic slack. Just absorbing hundreds of thousands of destitute refugees would be rough enough, but the fact that the refugees seem to be creating disproportionate strain on not just the welfare system but the criminal justice system is only going to make things… entertaining.
