“I’m trying to change my country’s rules. I don’t like them. It’s not right to send people to hell.”
Except, apparently, one’s own countrymen.
“Despite lacking information about the man who was being deported, most media organizations jumped on the story, with the Washington Post calling Ersson’s stunt a ‘dramatic act of civil disobedience’ while Newsweek magazine described the student as a ‘hero.'”
Typical establishment media propaganda.
“Afghan migrant whose deportation was thwarted by ‘hero’ Swedish student was actually sentenced for assault,” by Lukas Mikelionis, Fox News, July 31, 2018:
The Swedish student who was branded a “hero” and captured worldwide attention after she stopped the deportation of an Afghan migrant by refusing to sit down on a plane instead prevented the extradition of a man sentenced for assault and whose asylum application was rejected.
Elin Ersson, a student at Gothenburg University, was subjected to fawning media coverage over her stunt earlier this month when she refused to take her seat on the plane until the 52-year-old Afghan deportee was released. She was successful and authorities weren’t able to deport the man.
However, Swedish Police confirmed to Fox News that the man whose deportation Ersson prevented had received a prison sentence in Sweden for assault. The police spokesman declined to go into more details about the crime the migrant has committed. His asylum application was also rejected….
Despite lacking information about the man who was being deported, most media organizations jumped on the story, with the Washington Post calling Ersson’s stunt a “dramatic act of civil disobedience” while Newsweek magazine described the student as a “hero”….
The Swedish student live streamed the whole incident and it was viewed nearly 5 million times on Facebook alone. In the video, she’s heard saying “there is a man who is going to get deported to Afghanistan, where he will most likely get killed” and the she won’t “sit down until this person is off the plane.”…
“I’m trying to change my country’s rules. I don’t like them. It’s not right to send people to hell,” she added.
jayell says
“The Swedish student (Elin Errson)….was branded a “hero”…..”
But this student was female. Shouldn’t she have been more correctly branded a ‘heroine’, like the narcotic substance?

Hero heroine..neither should fit……She should have been removed from the plane by the crew or airport police ……I feel sure if I tried something like that I’d be removed and she should have done more investigation into the man’s situation …had he been prosecuted by authorities etc.? But we do have to remember this girl is from the New nation of Swedeistan.
Rob says
Hope the ‘assault’ the guy was convicted of wasn’t rape of a university student.
Once the full bite of the tax cost of all these migrants is felt, the govt will insist on Swedish firms taking them on a employees. Then companies will look elsewhere for their operational bases. Shareholders – particularly funds are not amused by losses and as fundholders are one removed from the actual company they won’t be suckers for crybabies like this. ‘That’s my pension there’
gravenimage says
A tradtionalist in some ways, I like “heroine” for brave women as well–but often the gender-neutral “hero” is used for both men and women now. Of course, this useful idiot is neither.
6woods says
Hero is fine for either gender. But this brain-dead bitch is no hero. She’s even more of a problem than the murderous muzzies.

Frankly I’m amazed she herself was not taken off the plane for refusing to sit.
Anne Smith says
Absolutely They should have marched her off and got on with the flight.
mgoldberg says
I would have hoped for that too, but apparently that is to much to ask for in the nutter times of her nations laws.
mortimer says
Elin Ersson understands that Muslim HELLHOLE BERZERKISTANS are horrid, but she doesn’t understand that ISLAM MADE THEM THAT WAY.
Elin Ersson cannot join the dots between HELLHOLES and SHARIA LAW.
Martin says
“Frankly I’m amazed she herself was not taken off the plane for refusing to sit.”
Why wasn’t she taken off the plane for disrupting the flight? If I had refused to sit before the take-off on my flight from Rome to Brussels last Tuesday I’m sure they’d have taken me off the plane and continued with the flight.
This “activist” (i.e. nuisance) should have been taken off the flight (forcefully if need be), taken directly to jail, and given a few days behind bars along with a stiff fine. If this woman’s tactics are allowed to work there will be hundreds of SJW copying her, and stopping flights, from now on.
mortimer says
We didn’t hear the whole story. Usually, they put the cuffs on.
narahari says
A hundred years from now, the world will wonder how an advanced civilization like Europe let itself be fooled and lulled into suicide by liberalism and politcal correctness.
No Fear says
Ditto. Europe is being defeated by the word “racism” incorrectly applied to a religion.
mortimer says
Yeah, and who is ‘sending this ingrate migrant to ‘HELL” ??? ISLAM CREATES SHARIA HELLHOLES.
The Swedes did NOT CREATE ISLAM and should not ‘SEND’ this DEATH CULT / RAPE CULT to Sweden.
Laura says
You are wrong, in 100 years we will have stopped ‘wondering’ and accepted that Allah knows best.
mortimer says
Don’t count on it, Laura. More likely, Muslims are going to drop out of this BRONZE AGE CULT.
libertyORdeath says
Actually, the bronze age ended in the middle East 1800 years before the false prophet was born.
Islam was born in the much more appropriate “dark ages” of strife, confusion and barbarism.
The bronze age in Arabia Felix was even more savage in some ways than the time of Muhammad, including mass child sacrifice. Not that surprising that these same people were willing to embrace such a ridiculous and barbaric dogma.
Guest says
Laura is most likely correct here. Remember that History is written by the victors, and all indicators point toward the demographically surging, religiously zealous, ideologically driven, foot soldiers of Muhammad being Victorious over the demographically waning, religiously ambiguous, ideologically aimless West.
Islam will erase, our culture, including our miserable laws and our miserable music and our miserable freedoms from the face of Allah’s world. As an atheist, I would like to believe that it will not be so, but if I am honest I can see no other realistic outcome.
The votaries of Islam are of a single minded purpose, they are raised from the cradle to strive in the way of Allah towards this far off purpose and all hands are working in small and great ways, till they die, towards that solitary purpose.
To my great sorrow, I’m betting on Laura being correct that they will achieve it.
I am reminded of GOT Robert Baratheons rhetorical to Cerci on which is the greater number.

This would be tragic. Even worse, of course, would be if there is nothing but celebrating from Muslim supremacists.
R Russell says
I don’t understand why the girl wasn’t forcibly removed from the plane?
She was the one endangering the flight.
Truly dhimmified.
dan christensen says
In Finland a similar incident occurred yesterday. This time it was a female lawyer, who attempted to save the world by trying to prevent a deportation in a plane in Finland.
However, the airport police spent only few minutes in kicking the ‘rescue woman’ out of the plane; the plane proceeded thereafter immediately its normal schedule with the deported muslim.
Who runs Scandinavia? chickenbrained females or the governments?
Terry Gain says
Did the Finnish lawyer point out that she had precedent on her side? 🙂
The failure of the Swedish airline authorities to remove and arrest the protestor is baffling. How did the “heroine”!know the deportee was on that particular flight? And what is to prevent Swedish authorities from deporting the Afghan on another flight? And why won’t the authorities inform reporters of the type of assault he committed?n
It sounds to me that the “heroine” did not act alone, but had government help.
The fall of Sweden to Islam may wake up other countries in Europse. Since Sweden is clearly submitting to Islam the sooner it falls, the better.
lasslax says
“Did the Finnish lawyer point out that she had precedent on her side?”
In most of Europe we don’t have precedent based Common Law, but codyfied napoleonic.
Meaning an other judge in a similar case might interpret the law differently then the previouse one. Precedent is irrelevant.
Mark Spahn (West Seneca, NY) says
Chickenbrained females, says You-Know-Who (pbuh).

I expect that the girl offered to provide the convicted assaulter with free accommodation at her house. It is the decent thing to do with a convicted felon.
mortimer says
Yeah, that’s it … bring several of such criminals to live in her home. She wouldn’t stay there one night.
Ewanda says
Just goes to show that the sooner everyone reads Robert Spencer’s new Book “THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS”, the less stupid mistakes, that endanger us all, will be made.
Terry Gain says
The Swedish airline protestor story can’t fairly be described as a stupid mistake. Except perhaps in stupid Sweden.
Ewanda says
Her “stupid mistake” was that she acted without having all the pertinent information – this happens all over the world not only in Sweden, and will continue to happen until everyone reads Robert Spencer’s book “THE HISTORY OF JIHAD FROM MUHAMMAD TO ISIS”.
There seem to be various ways to spell MOHAMMAD, MUHAMMAD, MUHAMMED, MOHAMMED, …… As long as Robert kept the MAD and the HAM in, we should be ecstatic with the synchronicity of our language.
mortimer says
Ewanda, exactly! Those who are UNACQUAINTED WITH ISLAM think they have all the answers.
Kesselman says
The silly fool apparently brain-washed throughout her entire school-time cannot comprehend the total picture of Sweden.
The late PM Olof Palme initiated in 1985 the multicultural outlook. This globalist scheme is now going to destroy what’s left of the country. – Yesterday the Crown-Regalia (1611) was stolen in broad daylight.
Manue Paleologus says
The stupid and naive young women trying to stop the Afghan Muslim to be deported back to hell because the hell is overcoming her country. If the muslim would rape her, she would probably thanks ‘Allah’ for the grace.
mortimer says
Take the ‘hell’ out of Swede and stop importing it.

This is surprising because…?
And the WASHINGTON COMPOST, like its East Coast counterpart, THE NEW DORK SLIMES, is barely fit to line a cat’s litterbox.

I hope the brat is the first to benefit from the perp’s next act of “cultural enrichment.” Her act of “heroism” was nothing without consequences; at least the kids from the White Rose knew they could suffer severely for their actions, and they did.
Steven says
I knew it!!!!….. This female brat is a fool. Now, she deserve to be fined or sent to jail for civil disobedience as She’s NOT authority to the air crews, Police, Immigration Department and Airport security
mortimer says
Elin Ersson cannot see the forest for the trees. WHAT IS IT ABOUT ‘ASSAULT’ that is hard to understand?
Some women fall in love with criminals because they are psychologically twisted to feel attracted to VIOLENCE.
If she married this man, the marriage wouldn’t last a week! She would run for her life.
Think of all the Swedish women who should be spared the ASSAULTS of this ingrate migrant.

“I expect that the girl offered to provide the convicted assaulter with free accommodation at her house. It is the decent thing to do with a convicted felon.”
The thirty year age difference would make her almost the perfect bride to this 52-year-old Afghani convicted criminal and failed asylum seeker; though, in all likelihood, the Afghani would probably prefer a younger teenager.
revereridesagain says
The first thing she should be required to do is apologize to whomever it was this criminal alien assaulted, the crime for which he was being sent back where he came from. However, being the snowflake she is, she’d probably just blame the victim for being a member of some “incorrect” category of human being.
steve slagle says
why no charges filed against this snowflake? she clearly was breaking the law by obstructing the flight from proceeding. maybe a timeout in jail would be a proper message to send. WWMD what would muslims dowith a female that behaved this way in a sharia court?
Ewanda says

It is the women who are letting down Western civilization. I have been saying this thing since the 90s. Most Western women have lost it.. respect for men and elders, their sense of duty towards their family and children and all that ultra feminism. Of course, there are women who are exceptions but most are like this and even many Hindu women are going the same way.
gravenimage says
Another claim that the only problem with dhimmitude is women. There are many men who are just as bad, as well as lots of Anti-Jihad women. This last is especially true at Jihad Watch.
And no–while I respect many men–including Robert Spencer and usually yourself, I do not believe that women have to respect all men. For instance, I have no respect for this violent Muslim deportee. Why should I have?
Mirren10 says
”Most Western women have lost it.. respect for men and elders”
Respect must be earned, not given just because of gender or age.

*Spot on*, Mirren.
Giacomo Latta says
A dramatic act of civil disobedience, translation, infringement of a law democratically adopted by a country’s elected leader, as opposed to one self-elected halfwit. Civil disobedience, just like her terrorist intern, who would refuse to sit down until there is an explosive put on the plane, if he had his druthers. There’s a chance he may be murdered if he returns to Afghanistan? OMG no! Better he stay in Sweden so one of us can have a chance at being murdered.
Charles M. says
So refusing to take your seat prior to take off is all it takes? Only in milquetoast Sweden would something like that work. What an unbelievably dumb–soon to be Islamic– country.
No Muzzies Here says
You’re right, “It’s not right to send people to hell.” You are sending your fellow Swedes to hell by your actions.
Derek says
While I am certain that a swedish prison is a better place to live than Afghanistan she really needed to ask herself who made it a heII.
She was also very disrespectful to Afghanistan by referring to it as heII.
Derek says
What kind of a wimpy country doesn’t simply remove the girl from the airplane for unruly conduct and public stupidity and proceed with the extradition? What if the criminal had refused to sit down? Or simply refused to accept deportation?
If criminals in sweden refuse to sit are their trials cancelled?
This story may just highlight the absolute insanity that is going on in the swest right now.
lasslax says
Deport this woman to Afghanistan as well.
Then she might learn something
CogitoErgoSum says
So the Afghan man assaulted somebody. What kind of hell did his victim have to endure during the assault? Could that person still be living in some sort of hell because of the assault? Our “hero/heroine” doesn’t know …. or care if anyone else knows either. Such is her compassion.
Paul Klee says

libertyORdeath says
These deluded SJW’s actually believe that they are doing things that are equivalent to the women’s suffrage movement or the civil rights protests or even the abolition of slavery.
The hilarious thing is that the people they defend in the case of muslims are VEHEMENTLY OPPOSED to all of the above. Women’s rights in islamic countries are more of a PR stunt than an actual movement. Civil rights apply to ALL people, while muslims obviously do not share that view towards non-muslims.
And as most of you on JW already know, the Arab/Muslim slave trade continues to this day and is almost fully ignored by the liberal left. They are pushing us closer and closer to either World War 3 or a new “Dark Age” of Islamic hegemony and “infidel” dhimmitude.
Lydia Church says
They are so ignorant and manipulated it is beyond insane!
I just read on the Geller report that 4 migrants raped a disabled woman in various ways, in Sweden!

somehistory says
She was not acting heroic; more like stupid.
In the .U.S.. It is criminal conduct., this is called “obstruction” or interfering with law enforcement.
Since she was not made to sit, or get off the plane, the other criminal should have been put on another flight out. The government, in rare form today, was acting in the interest of its citizens by removing him…or trying to. They had good reason for wanting him gone.
brane pilot says
To hell with Sweden.
When they finally realize their mistake too late, let them emigrate to S Africa to replace the Whites fleeing that hellhole.
