Last I checked, major cities were always cesspools of violence and crime.

Not sure why you people think immigrants make it worse.

Because in this case, they literally do.

An ongoing gang conflict, between Foxtrot leader Rawa Majid and his former right-hand man Ismail Abdo, has resulted in a recent spate of violence particularly in Stockholm and Uppsala, targeting even relatives who are not themselves involved in gang crime – or in some cases killing the wrong target entirely.

Do you think these two gang leaders are Swedes?
