That's quite the hyperbole compared to what actually happened.
- rvense 11y agoAre you implying that the Daily Mail would exagerate something involving immigrants in Sweden? That's preposterous. /s
- paulddraper 11y agoMultiple buildings (including two schools) and hundreds of cars were burned, at least one elderly man was killed. IDK of anything comparable in the US in this century. It's hyperbole only in that the area affected was small compared to the rest of Sweden, in the same way that one street is small compared to the rest of the US.

- paulddraper 11y agoYep. I stand corrected. Those are similar and on the same scale (i.e. larger than I had remembered). Like I said, there are worst sights than an old house.
