> gangs roaming the capital, looting, killing, and burning

That's quite the hyperbole compared to what actually happened.

Multiple buildings (including two schools) and hundreds of cars were burned, at least one elderly man was killed.

IDK of anything comparable in the US in this century.

It's hyperbole only in that the area affected was small compared to the rest of Sweden, in the same way that one street is small compared to the rest of the US.

Yep. I stand corrected. Those are similar and on the same scale (i.e. larger than I had remembered). Like I said, there are worst sights than an old house.

Are you implying that the Daily Mail would exagerate something involving immigrants in Sweden? That's preposterous. /s
