What is known so far.

Shooter was 35-year old male

Shooter dead at the scene

The school is what could be described as an adult municipal school (komvux). Classes there are mainly for those looking to improve grades from primary and high school, aswell as SFI (Swedish for immigrants)

"School shooting"

"No terrorist intent"

Oh, so the terrorist is white..

What does skin color have to with it being classified as terror crime or not? This isn't America.

This is verbatim what the police press officer said

Det finns nu inga misstankar om att det handlar om ett terrorbrott, och polisen tror att mannen har agerat på egen hand, även om man inte utesluter fler med koppling till dådet, säger Roberto Eid Forest.

Well, maybe hate crime.

I understand not jumping to conclusions, but a white man shooting up a school for immigrants kinda sounds like a duck

While it definitely appears to be a hate crime, i just cant emphasize how different racial relationships are in Sweden compared to USA.

We didn't have a constitution that said people are free, whilst justifying slaves by saying they weren't human, since they were "black"

What we have are cultures that completely clash in modern times due to many, many reasons.

Hate crime, likely, but we don't know. Because Swedish authorities doesn't publicize such info out of concerns of privacy for potentially innocent adjacent.

Grotuesquely enough one tabloid called the suspects father and started asking "why he did it". He hadn't even heard of the crime on the news yet. Its fucking disgusting what they did.

Terrorism, not likely. And saying anything else while the bodies were still warm would have been basis for dismissal as press officer.

Thank you for providing context for Sweden, where this happened, for the fuckers who think USA is global.

For context, I'm from Italy. I'm just worried about the kind of violence directed specifically towards anyone "different", whether it's about skin color, place of origin or anything else

Jesus christ, imagine finding out your son is the perpetuator of a horrific shooting and is dead from a tabloid reporter. I have way more sympathy for the families of the actual victims but it's still awful for the father.

That statement verbatim does less than you probably expected in clarifying.

[-] Danitos@reddthat.com 3 points 4 months ago

I think that's the point. A bit of a reality check for those people who believe they know how things work in other countries based on their very superficial POV, despite failing at the basics.
