Maybe it is because of the smelly undateable Swedish men getting frustrated? Too many “incels”? Get a handle on your rapists Sweden! Maybe the women there should be allowed to carry firearms to protect themselves?
there are some things we need to take into consideration.
Differences in reported crime across countries are usually related to different reporting rates by victims (and/or detection by the police). Also different definitions of criminal offences by countries, and different counting rules, make comparisons difficult according to Enrico Bisogno, the chief of data development and dissemination at the United Nations Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC).
”When a woman comes to the police and says ’my husband or my fiance raped me almost every day during the last year’, the police have to record each of these events, which might be more than 300 events. In many other countries it would just be one record – one victim, one type of crime, one record”, Klara Selin, a sociologist at the National Council for Crime Prevention in Stockholm, told BBC.
In 2005, Sweden broadened its definition of rape. The word ”rape” can since then be used to record acts which would be called assault or bodily harm in other countries, according to The Local. That led to an increase in the number of rapes reported in the country in the years following the law change.
In Sweden, women are encouraged to report rape cases. It appears, The Independent writes, that ”it is possible that in other countries there is a far stronger stigma around reporting rape than in Sweden”
The Brock Turner case as an example (incident stopped by Swedish students I might add) and:
Where do you think a woman feel the most secure to report a rape? In secular Sweden who has had an active fight for equality and women's rights? Or over-religious US with wild-wild-west-judges and historically backwards views on equality?Judge Ralph Strother accepted a plea deal from Jacob Walter Anderson Monday over a 2016 rape allegation in which the victim says she was gagged, choked, led behind a tent and repeatedly raped. Strother sentenced Anderson to deferred probation after his no contest plea, even after hearing a harrowing statement from the woman about how Anderson ‘stole my body, virginity and power over my body.’ She was attacked while studying at Baylor University in Waco, Texas.
/.../
Last year, Strother sentenced another man to deferred probation even after he admitted raping another Baylor student in 2013. The judge also ordered the man to pay for his victim’s counseling. And earlier this year, Strother sentenced a third man for felony probation for the sexual assault of another woman who attended Baylor University. That saw him ordered to serve 30 days in jail, but the sex attacker was allowed to complete his sentence over a number of weekends.
Funny how it is black and white when it comes to any issue with America, but take into consideration other factors when it has to do with Sweden...Why is that? Try not to dance or rape anyone on the way to work today...Well, rape is okay in Sweden, so just try not to dance.

Here is the reason for those charges being dropped. Consider it bullshit if you want. Sweden is still a safer country than the US, have less corruption and a safer judicial system. So don't fear visiting next time PJ comes here. Even though @mrussel1 believes Eddie will "take note" and could very well stop PJ from coming here. I seriously doubt that. Lets see who will be correct.

In the case with an American artist who has been arrested suspected of assault since July 5, a counter-notification was also made against a plaintiff in the case. The preliminary investigation has been going on in parallel where the plaintiff was suspected of being abused, assaulting and attempted assault. Now the preliminary investigation is closed and the plaintiff is no longer suspected in the case.
- The event begins with the counter notification repeatedly asking the person to remove himself from the site. When he does not, the countermember first pushes away, and then takes a grip around the other's throat and lifts him a few meters. Because of this, the person throws his headphones on the countermember and tries to throw punches, which is to be considered to be in his right of self defence, says pre-investigator chief prosecutor Daniel Suneson.

The ”lifiting up by the throat” part is not - to my knowlege - shown in any known video so there might be more to this than Has been shown.
If not something earlier not on video than I would think it would be from ganging up in a ring around a man and beating him. That is assault and not self defence. One newspaper mentioned a broken bottle even being used - But dont know If that is varified.Post edited by Spiritual_Chaos on"Mostly I think that people react sensitively because they know you’ve got a point"0 -
