Sweden: Two people dead, third badly wounded by Knife-wielding attacker at IKEA

[Stormdash]

or instead of #2 and #3, there would be a #4,5,6,7,8~

Because after stopping the knife wielding maniac, the bloodlust would overwhelm the theretofore peaceful IKEA shopper?

I of course never went to IKEA in Sweden, and here in the US the nearest is a whooping 180 miles from where I live, means no comparison either... But I did actually like the German IKEA stores. Their layout was always kinda cool.

Layout here:

Huge dark warehouse with no windows or clocks with a oneway track snaking between areas till the end. It's like a conveyer belt of domestic disputes

[Tradewind]

IKEA as a kid...Ballroom muhfucka!

IKEA as an adult...cheap blinds and glassware!

He's saying a gun would've killed more which is likely true

They're way too crowded. If I buy something from Ikea then I order it online instead of going to physical store.

The attacker used a knife from the kitchen store at IKEA.

IKEA has something for everybody.

My thoughts exactly. Or at least make it so the wooden block that holds the knives could be reduced to four knives instead of six. That way you can't use so many knives.

On a more serious note condolences to the victims. There's probably crazy people everywhere and you gota watch out and take care of yourselves. Be alert.

Signs do not protect you.

Neither do guns, but ayyyy.

Isn't the knife wielding maniac more likely to be a gun waving maniac?

This is empirically false. Nothing more needs to be said on my part.

Bet he's foreign.

That was my first instinct too, considering the police has refused to give details about the suspect.
Got to love Sweden PC, guy kills two people with a knife and the first thing they worry about is the fact that he might be discriminated and used as an example by the anti-immigration crowd.

You're pretty much a prime example why they are withholding information still.

LOL. At this point withholding information is pretty telling. I've learnt to associate that with the perpetrator not being Swedish.

Unless they are speaking about the victim then they say "Swedish man/woman" if it's an immigrant. If it's a native Swedish person they just specify gender. Swedish media is funny.

How does a gun protect?

I think, everyone who reads the local news more often than once per month will connect the dots, that knife wielding lunatics are coming preferably from a certain region and are most certainly not natives.

And no masking in an article with male "Swede" will change this perception of the most people.

Example of what, please do tell.
Just because I am against illegal immigration doesn't mean I wish this person any harm. Heck, I could just as easily state that you're a prime example of white guilt neo-liberal who would roll out the red carpet to murderous extremists like him.

[morpen]

Articles first stated that the attacker was foreign but it was quickly removed...

and why is that?

It kinda speaks a certain language, that you guys had to actually explain what was as clear as it gets.
