Aftonbladet is probably the biggest newspaper in Sweden. When Donald Trump mentioned what happened \u201clast night in Sweden<\/a>\u201d they were quick to mock him<\/a>, and soon followed up with a serious article<\/a> attempting to debunk Ami Horowitz documentary Stockholm Syndrome<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In comparison with 2014 that\u2019s an increase, but approximately the same as 2005. According to a report from Br\u00e5 2015, leathal violence has decreased in Sweden the past years<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

The amount of people dying from violence has gone down over the years, but attempted murder has gone up<\/a> since the 80\u2019s.\u00a0All this means is that emergency medical services have gotten better at saving people. When the media happily reports about drops in violence it\u2019s referring to limited periods of time, where it does indeed drop.<\/p>\n
