And here I thought the Scandinavian countries were as close to heaven on earth as we were likely to get. Wonder what went wrong.
Oh, I see.
"Oddly enough Swedish ambulance workers didn’t need body armor or have to worry about machete attacks before the place became so very diversified. (via Religion of Peace).
There have been so many incidents. There has been everything from shootings to people with machetes and people smashing ambulances or trying to attack the ambulance staff. We are not safe to the extent we have previously been,’ says Henrik Johansson, president of the Ambulance Association to Dagens Medicin.
He explains that the organisation wants that the alarm center and ambulances should have access to the same information that police have on people who are likely to be violent or have weapons. But the union also wants to introduce what Henrik Johansson calls tactical units.
‘- Emergency Medic teams that are ready to enter a hot spot. They should have riot helmet, bulletproof vest and shin guards. They should have equipment relevant for working in such an environment. They of course also should have a gas mask.
So they will more or less look like the riot police?
‘- No, the military, I would rather like to say.’”

Multiculturalism is so great! All cultures are equal and all are right, even the evil ones.
