#2 "And when we say there is absolutely no cannibalism in the British Army, we mean there is not very much."

Original reports I saw said it was 20 men with firebombs, hardly your run of the mill arson case. The Swedes will have to come down hard if they have any hope of getting in front of this. My money says they won't, because MULTICULTURALISM!!11!!! and the general human tendency to keep doing what you were doing only more so. It's a social version of the sunk-cost fallacy.
