STOCKHOLM — Suburbs of the Swedish capital were engulfed in a fourth night of rioting early today in the country's worst civil unrest in years, leaving locals shaking their heads and wondering when calm would return to their usually tranquil city.

Since Sunday, hundreds of young residents of the suburbs of Husby, Jakobsberg, Hagsatra, Skarholmenset and others set dozens of cars on fire, damaged buildings — including schools and a police station — and battled with police. There were about 10 arrests, and one police officer was reported injured.

Police spokesman Kjell Lindgren says at least 30 cars were set ablaze across western and southern Stockholm early Thursday. Firefighters said they have "never before seen so many fires raging at the same time."

Fire also destroyed a restaurant in Skogas, south of Stockholm.

The troubles are believed to have been triggered by the fatal police shooting of a 69-year-old Husby resident last week after the man wielded a machete in public.

The man then fled to his apartment, where police have said they tried to mediate but ended up shooting him dead in what they claimed was self-defence.




Oh, totally justified then. 4 days of riot and destruction, because one wild man wielding a machete refused to put it down and instead made the cops give chase and then refused to listen as they tried to talk him down.

OK then...

Probably in protest at Denmark wrenching the Eurovision crown from them.

Pshaw, that's old school Eurovision.

These days its more like the Hunger Games, without the bloodletting in the arena of course.

And of course, bless the Romanian finalist for dressing like a vampire.

He's just a little off-key on almost every note.
He's a finalist?? Is everyone tone-deaf???

You can't trust anybody's numbers buddy.

Not even our own.
