Sweden: Norrkoping burns, police shoot and wound, Sweden falls into chaos
There is no need for Putin's Russians to plunge Sweden into chaos. Three people were injured Sunday when police fired warning shots at a crowd of rioters in eastern Sweden in Norrkoping and Linkoping, local media reported.
The country has been rocked by days of violence triggered by the Danish-Swedish far-right politician Rasmus Paludan. Its anti-immigration and anti-Islamic Stram Kurs (hard line) movement has threatened to burn copies of the Koran, the holy book of Islam during extremist demonstrations.

The Aftonbladet newspaper claims that the incidents took place in the city of Norrkoping, when the police intervened to disperse a group of people who were throwing stones at the agents. These protesters were violently protesting against Paludan who had previously announced a meeting with his followers during which a Koran was to be burned. At this point the counter demonstrators started throwing stones at the police. The police opened fire as a warning, but something went wrong: "It appears that three people have been hit by rebounds and are now being treated in the hospital," the statement added. "All three of the injured were arrested on suspicion of committing criminal acts."

For the second time, riots also broke out in the city of Linkoping, where Paludan has also scheduled a demonstration on Sunday. Linkoping was the scene of similar riots by counter-protesters three days earlier.
Aftonbladet described how the situation quickly escalated as hundreds of people, mostly young people, arrived on the scene. 14 people were arrested.
The law protects Paludan and his provocations, but these are not compatible with a country that is increasingly Islamizing, among other things with a strong radical tendency. The uncontrolled reception of Middle Eastern and North African migrants has created dangerous ghettos, as well as a tendency towards violence and religious radicalism. Sweden is no longer what it used to be.
