This is likely the work of Antifa, and is a manifestation of the new style of politics in the West: not just the demonization and attempt to marginalize and destroy opponents, but physical intimidation of those opponents as well. In this case, the Leftists are hoping to destroy all obstacles to mass Muslim migration. If they succeed, they will come to regret what they have done, unless chaos, civil war and Sharia are their ultimate aims. But by then it will almost certainly be too late.
“Arsonists dressed in black torch election kiosk of Swedish right-wing party,” Voice of Europe, August 20, 2018:
Police have said that approximately ten “black-clad” people burned down the populist Sweden Democrat party’s election kiosk. A preliminary investigation into the incident has been initiated according to Peter Adlersson of the Western Regional Police, SVT reports.
Police spokesman Adlersson stated that “there were several tents there and there was a great risk of spreading to the tents as well.”
Sweden Democrats president in Gothenburg, Jörgen Fogelklou, said in a condemning statement: “It’s complete idiocy. They have put people’s lives and health at stake.”
“They are completely confused if they think the destruction of this material will make us quiet. The great cost will be paid to Gothenburg taxpayers. We have borrowed this tent from the city of Gothenburg,” Fogelklou added: “it was no ordinary tent, it was huge with electricity and a floor.”….
Mary says
More concerned with the cost of the tent than the reason for the attack. Pathetic.
StellaSaidSo says
No, he was making the point that there is a cost to the community of such acts of vandalism. There is little doubt as to the culprits and the motive for the attack.

From Sweden to San Francisco….

Exactly, Stella.

Black Clad? were they women in Burkas?
stan Cook says
“Black clad people”: I am sure we will never know who they could possibly be.
Ole Pederson says
Antifa, the storm troopers of the Fourth Reich, I noticed they’re even in Spain!
Deluded youngsters buying government agitprop about racism.
StellaSaidSo says
Yep, they’re everywhere. Brainwashed by cultural Marxists, and paid by Soros to endanger their own lives and the lives of others. Sooner or later, the sobering experience of incarceration or serious injury will surely reduce their numbers.
Tom says
Expect this strategy to infest other western countries where populist patriotic parties are gaining traction with voters.
Especially in the USA and Canada where Antifa are supported by many politicians on the left, and where police are hesitant to stop assaults by Antifa.
Looks like the bikers for Trump may have to extend their reach to help protect legitimate candidates for office as the police either can’t or won’t because of their political correctness and orders.
scherado says
They should try gass-chambers or mobile vans with exhaust-fed rear compartments.
Fred Middleton says
First they came for the cars, now they’re coming for the election.
brane pilot says
Chaos, civil war and sharia law are, in actual fact, the goals of Antifa in the West.
They are nihilists.
The goal of nihilism is to destroy everything that is not nihilism.
The goal of Islam is to destroy everything that is not Islam.
For nihilists, supporting Islam and Islamists is a no-brainer.
The weaponization of human rights to destroy societies based upon human rights, is complete.
Indiana Tom says
…but both are interested in building new Orwellian societies where power is the end goal.

“It’s complete idiocy. They have put people’s lives and health at stake.”
Since when does the Sturmabteilung care about lives and health?

Sweden: Black-clad arsonists torch election kiosk of party that opposes mass Muslim migration
………………………
Appalling–and this is clearly not just destruction–bad enough–but also a threat of further violence.
MFritz says
This kind of terrorism is very highly contraproductive. But these so called “antifas” aren’t the smartest to begin with.
StellaSaidSo says
I agree, MFritz. Even lefties are starting to be embarrassed by ANTIFA stupidity.
pumbar says
Black clad? I’m sure they would insist it was ‘clothing of colour’.
Something of an index to their intentions that they torched a tent that was involved in an act of democracy. I wonder which local, deranged demagogue demanded they do it?
