#1 The ruling caste doesn't view the 'youths' as a threat to their personal power and legitimacy. Vigilantes, however, are a sign that the legitimacy of the state is threatened and must be suppressed at any cost. In doing so, they acknowledge that they have been unable or willing to provide security in one's person, one's family, and one's property.

Governor William J. Lepetomane - We have to protect our phoney baloney jobs here, gentlemen! We must do something about this immediately! Immediately! Immediately!

#4 "Faced by another night of terror at the hands of predominantly immigrant rioters, Swedes grown tired of the police's inability to put an end to the unrest took to the streets Friday night to defend their neighborhoods."

The moment that the police began to act against the "vigilantes", it became obvious that the problem was not with an "inability" on the part of the police, but the "unwillingness" of the police. I would suspect that the problem was PC rules that threatened officers with post-facto, post-riot penalties and threats that do not exist for "natives".

The real threat to the "authorities" would have been the loss of the moral high ground when people realize that the PC rules (imposed in the name of "correcting" or "preventing" racism) are themselves racist. It's what I call "a control surface", analogous to a rudder or aileron, that the liberal elite use to control the society. Once the "control surface" of false racism is lost, then they are in deep trouble since they spent so much time teaching that racism, and racists, were evil, only to have their subjects turn on them when it is revealed that THE LEADERS are racist (and therefore evil).

Allow me to tell the tale of the Liberal mother writing Dear Abbey to help her with her "rebellious" daughter: the Little dear had been taught, all her life, to hate oppression of the "little people" and to fight the good fight and do battle against "the oppressor". THEN the daughter is informed by a pro-life uncle of the biology of pregnancy, and comes to the (logical) conclusion that Abortion is murder of the littlest of the "little people", and begins to treat her pro-choice mom the moment she finds out mommie dearest had aborted her sibling, like an oppressor "the way mommie taught me how". Dear abbey tries to tell the girl she should "respect" people while disagreeing with her, but its kinda hard when mommie had been so vigorously teaching her girl-child that oppressors deserved no respect whatsoever.

The authorities are smart: they have good reason to believe that once the riots are over, the vigilantes will revert to being "controllable", provided that the vigilantes don't catch on to the core viciousness and hypocrisy of the PC cr*p being used to control them.

The vigilantes were described as a motley crew of homeowners and concerned citizens, as well as neo-Nazi activists and football hooligans.

As described by WHOM? The Scam goes this way: the MSM consistently describes the tea party as evil, with no evidence whatever to back up their claims (not being held to a standard of accountability that would be considered violating the First Amendment). The IRS workers read this in the papers, swallow it hook line and sinker, and assume, when their bosses tell them the same thing and to slow or stop their applications, they don't object or raise a red flag. Once they are caught with their pants down, they are forced to circle wagons and protect their superiors since they know that they all will stand or fall together.

Several independent sources testify about vigilantes managing to scare away groups of rioters torching wastepaper baskets.

Kinda hard to justify letting the "rioters" off for torching the baskets while maintaining that arresting the vigilantes from stopping those "rioters" from torching wastepaper baskets is the "right thing to do", lest someone say "well, wouldn't arresting the torchers have ALSO been the 'right thing to do'?"

#5 Ptah has it right: while I'm sure the neo-Nazi dorks are out there, the MSM delights in running down average citizens using the same tired phrases.

You are not a right-wing extremist if you defend your family, home and neighborhood from rioters. Ask Condi Rice's father for details...

#6 P2K: The Gulag Archipalego describes this very well. Common criminals were 'socially friendly': that is, they came from a class that Marxism viewed as similar to the proletariat. You were a thief because you had to steal bread to live, etc. So the thieves, etc were generally given light sentences and relatively decent conditions in the labor camps.

Whereas political prisoners were 'socially hostile': they were a threat to the revolution because they thought differently, out of conformance with proletariat, and thus had to be punished harshly.

Fast-forward to Sweden, and it becomes easy to see who the government sees as 'socially-friendly' and 'socially-hostile'.

#7 When you have people like these rioting, and don't disburse when the authorities order them, then you:
declare martial law
surround the area in question. Nobody goes in nobody goes out.
Shut off telephone and cell service
Turn off electricity
Then you go in with riot police in overwhelming force using time learned tactics to break up the mob.
Those rounded up that aren't citizens are deported.
Those that are you better figure out how to get rid of them. They will never be good citizens.

Criminal laws work when only a few percent are law breaking deviants. For Sweden, the model here does not apply.

#8 Wretchard at the Belmont described a theory of order with two models:
1. The Scotland Yard Model, where the police take care of it.
2. The Tombstone Territory model, where there is no organized protection. You are on your own and do as well as your instincts and your proficiency in the use of your weapon will carry you.

The Scotland Yard model is failing in Sweden, due to the government's timidity in enforcing the law and restoring order.

Since Ma Nature abhors a vacuum, the Swedish government is forcing the Tombstone Territory model on it's law abiding citizens.

#9 If you read
peels nine principles of policing
it sounds more like the "vigilantes" than the securitate (Swedish "police").
