Shootings

Sweden has the most shootings in all of Europe.

in 2020 we had 366 shootings, 47 dead and 117 wounded

At the same time we had 107 detonations and numerous of robbery and rape.

Scare numbers and highest in Europe. 

Almost everyday there is a shooting and almost every time someone gets shot, killed or wounded.

Recently the shootings have taken place at midday and close to people not involved.

Some weeks ago a police officer was shot dead, a man was shot dead very close to a football field where people were playing, having fun. And then some days ago two small children were shot in the leg from a bullet not aimed at them.

It is terrible and it seems like our politicians do not know how to handle the situation. The police are surprised that even if they get many of these individuals, the violence continues and even gets more violent.

I red an article the other day and the writer said 

"When churches for more than half a century ago warned of the dangers in societal development -that politics promoted secularization, less respect for the Ten Commandments and for fellow human beings -churches were accused by secular and atheist activists in politics and media  of "moral panic".

The Sweden we face this summer - with almost daily shootings and assassination attempts, deeply segregated areas, lack of trust and security and a weakened community - wich  has developed gradually, step by step, over a long period of time.

It will take a long time before everyone wants to realize, and acknowledge, what has happened. Today the people and groups who mocked past church leaders for what they saw were about to break down, are now silent, and are not taking responsibility for what happened".

Very true and we need to pray for our politicians, for the media, for these criminals, for people affected , yes for all of Sweden.
