| Horror as car ploughs into 'crowd of 100 children and teachers' - police manhunt underway |
| 2018-09-26 |
| 24 hour in effect [Express. UK] A CAR ploughed into a crowd of children and their parents on a walk near Karlshamn, in Sweden, police revealed today. Two pupils were hurt with a police manhunt now underway. A spokesman for Sweden's police service said children "threw themselves" out of the way of the car, which appeared to have aimed directly for the group of 100 people. He said: "The car accelerated into the group of students and teachers. "The car increased speed and drove straight towards them. "He drove into two of the students. One was injured on the wrist and possibly the other student was also injured." Police have today appealed for any information on the horrifying incident, which took place at 1pm local time (12pm BST) yesterday. The group was made up of 100 children and 10 teachers from Mjallby secondary school. They were walking from Hinnedalsvagen to Grundsjon as part of a social event. The car was described as a black or dark blue Saab. It was driving at around 25mph when it hit the crowd. |

| #6 Killing me here! The Express article differs a bit from local reportage. Sounds like the kids were walking down from "Grundsjon" (a little pond on the county line (and a long distance walking trail)) to Gammalstorp (aka Nowheresville, known mostly for a church that stands like an island amidst farmed fields that used to be lake or wetland). Couple of miles through woods and fields. Not the kind of place you'd run into jihadis (or vice versa). Careless farmfolk, maybe? Officious chaperone and/or obstreperous schoolkids? Not to be prejudiced -- loved the place! -- but from what I saw of Sweden a while back, I'd expect everyone involved to be pickled, and quick to cop an attitude. Wouldn't it be a hoot if the two "injured" turned out to be immigrant kids banging on Farmer Sven's car? |

| #4 But, But, if you deport the people who want to work for a living how are the Muslims going to be subsidized for their vote? |
