Wow, people can certainly find some creative ways to explain away things they don't wish to deal with. These are the same people who like to make the claim that "Muslims want the same things you and I want." No. The don't. Their culture is entirely different. They don't want what we have. They don't want freedom, and in fact think that freedom is one of the evils of Western culture. Their values are not our values, and it's time for some of you to come out of your "safe space," and acknowledge the world around you is not Shangri-la. There are evil people in the world that want you dead.
I'm not versed in Swedish law, only stating what I was told by someone who's more familiar with it. I left a question mark for that reason.
It's also funny how you're saying that about me, when Trump supporters seem to do this every single day with any news item they don't agree with, but use the same media they call fake to back up any claims they believe in.
This is what the Swedish Rape law now says:
"A person who by assault or otherwise by violence or by threat of a criminal act forces another person to have sexual intercourse or to undertake or endure another sexual act that, having regard to the nature of the violation and the circumstances in general, is comparable to sexual intercourse, shall be sentenced for rape to imprisonment for at least two and at most six years."
As you can see the definition of rape was expanded, whether or not that has had an effect on number of cases, we don't know, but it should be considered. Considering from what I read in the rest of the article it seems that now simply touching a woman's genitals is Rape.
"You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden....Sweden, who would believe this? Sweden"
Yeah, what exactly happend last night in Sweden? Believe what?
Regarding the riots that broke later: US had many more riots. (Don't want to go over the long list). So do other countries. It will probably happen again. As for most Swedish people, these aren't the worst that can happen. It bothers Trump more than the Swedes. Isn't that weird?
If you go back, the accusation was that Trump spoke of a terror attack, one that never happened... Did he in fact do so?

The change in laws had a big impact on rape levels as they changed the law also to count each act individually so a husband raping his wife 30 times in a year would be recorded as 30 separate rapes.
And yes - Trump would get charged with rape if he tried to grab anyone by the p*ssy in Sweden.
He never said anything about a terror attack. Why don't you go look at the actual quote instead of getting opinion from the corrupt MSM.
I think you misunderstood my statement as I was in agreement with what you are saying. He never said anything about a terror attack as some on here (the person I was responding to) are accusing him of doing.

My apologies.
As I said in the OP. Trump was proved right yet again.

"Here’s the bottom line. We’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening. We’ve got to keep our country safe. You look at what’s happening in Germany, you look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden, who would believe this. Sweden. They took in large numbers [of refugees from Muslim-majority countries]. They’re having problems like they never thought possible. You look at what’s happening in Brussels. You look at what’s happening all over the world. Take a look at Nice. Take a look at Paris. We’ve allowed thousands and thousands of people into our country and there was no way to vet those people. There was no documentation. There was no nothing. So we’re going to keep our country safe."
...A White House spokeswoman told reporters on Sunday that Trump had been referring generally to rising crime, not a specific incident in the Scandinavian country...
The problem is, at the very least, his imprecise-to-the-point-of-misleading speech. If you are referring to a general situation, you don't use specific terms like "happening last night". He didn't refer to Germany, Belgium or France in the same way that he referred to Sweden in the very same paragraph.
He, and his staff, make enough of these types of "mistakes" to raise questions about whether it is intentional or not.
The United States has several times the crime rates, and any one of us could post a dozen headlines from this week's news to prove there have been murders, rapes, burglaries, cop shootings, arson, etc.
The whole idea of this thread is to prove Trump didn't make up an incident when he said to "look at what happened in Sweden last night." There's no 2 ways around it. He said in these exact words:
You look at what’s happening last night in Sweden. Sweden? Who would believe this?"
Unfortunately, rape and other violent crimes is a problem in Sweden, but the U.S. should be looking in its own backyard. Sweden is still a very safe country. There were more people shot to death in Florida alone than in the entire country of Sweden last year.
As I said in the OP. Trump was proved right yet again.
Trumpistas, you are a breed apart, aren't you?
Trump: "Look at what happened last yesterday!"
<Something happens the day after>
Trumpistas: "Look at how right he was!"
Is the idea of time moving in a forward direction fake news now?
