Whenever a criminal act takes place in Sweden our whole society gasps for air and says, "Things like this just do not happen in Sweden." Suck on it Svensson: IT DOES. Recently we learned that Sweden has the most rapes per capita in Europe, which sounds totally unbelievable for such a calm and peace loving nation. Why is there a picture of a helicopter attached to this story? Everything's all crazy now!

Not to draw any parallels between rape and some government-insured-investment-banker-money but this morning, us lovely schmovely Swedes woke up to yet another event that simply "does not happen in good ol’ Svedala." Using a helicopter, a bunch of thieves landed on the roof of a Stockholm money transit terminal. Witnesses say a bunch of bombs went off and the police arrived shortly after but didn't really dare to do anything. Instead they waited outside and calmly watched two guys load the chopper. Someone had put a bag marked with the word "BOMB" at the police helicopter central, so it was obviously out of the question to pursue the criminals by air. At the time being, there's still no trace of the thieves and all of Sweden is holding their breaths to see how this Hollywood style robbery will end. Probably with a bunch of really rich tattooed guys swimming in champagne somewhere sunny. Still, I bet that as soon as the Swedes turn off their tellies tonight, they’ll go back to believing that Sweden is the safest country in the world, whilst every thieving bastard on planet earth will be even more convinced that good ol’ Svedala is to crime what Monaco is to tax fraud.

anytime something this cool happens you have to cheer for the ''bad guys''. stuff like this is what makes watching the news worth it in a time of global economic stagnation and general misery.

if it wasn't such a peaceful country shit like that wouldn't have happened

I guess the hard work against rape in Svedala shows in the statistics. It's not worse there than in for example England.
But it's true that goofy shit happens in Sweden. Two ministers has been killed in modern time.

It was a Serbian gang. Former military types from the Yugoslav wars.
