    Swedish PM to Trump: A$AP Rocky won’t get special treatment

    Sweden’s prime minister says he would be glad to speak with U.S. President Donald Trump about rapper A$AP Rocky’s detention but he “cannot and will not attempt to influence prosecutors or courts.”

    Trump tweeted Friday that he would call Prime Minister Stefan Lofven “to see what we can do about helping A$AP Rocky.”

    Rocky has been held in Sweden for weeks as police investigate his alleged involvement in a fight.

    First lady Melania Trump and celebrities including Kanye West urged Trump to intervene.

    The Swedish leader said Saturday he was aware Trump “has a personal interest in the case.”

    I'm sure he's shaking in fear over the harsh Swedish penal system.

    Do you care about A$AP Rocky's incarceration?

    Not really. If he committed a crime, then he needs to pay for it. Makes no difference if he did it in another country. But no harm is done by Trump talking to them anyway.

    Nope, don't care in the least.

    I fully await Trump to go from "the talented PM in Sweden" to "failure of a PM" in less than 5 hours.

    Yeah, here's the Instagram video that was released. The kids following them are definitely causing trouble.

    Only reason he's locked up is because he was deemed a flight risk due to being a foreigner. If he was a local he'd have been allowed to walk free until his court date for an incident like this.

    Except Trump called him talented, thinking that compliments does to others that it does to Trump himself. I don't care about PMs, don't know any names off hand, but this is a non issue.

    He was stupid to record everything to begin with. Also if you are going to record it then just record the part of them harassing you. Don't record the part where you and your crew start stomping the crap out of the people harassing you, especially in another country.

    Man, imagine wishing harm on this guy becuase Trump supports him.

    Trump is about to call in a strike.

    My understanding is that, while the other guy did instigate things, the rapper and his crew continued to beat on him after he was on the ground and no longer a threat. Doesn't matter if the other person instigated things if you take your retaliation beyond just self defense you commit a crime.

    I have no idea who this clown is or why I should care that he got jailed.

    I will asume you ask in good fate. The Swedish law allow self-defense, but you are only allow to use force proportionally to the threat. That include lethal force if the threat is extreme dire. The bodygaurds was in there right to defend themself and there client, but after the man is on the ground, he is not a real threat, continue to beat him is excessive use of force, that is assult, a criminal act.

    That makes sense but why isnt the guy who instigated the whole thing also i jail. From what i understand the police didnt initially know about the video, now they have acknowledged its existance so why havent they gone after that instigator?
