Did they get a lot of practice in Sweden recently, tackling rapists? Califonz Jun 2016 #7

No. They were able to tell instantly that a crime was being comitted. REP Jun 2016 #8

Apparently they practice using common sense and being brave in Sweden. nt pnwmom Jun 2016 #14

They need to teach a class in that FrodosPet Jun 2016 #42

Your question is confusing. Care to explain at length what you mean by it? Hekate Jun 2016 #16

I think Califonz is referring to the skyrocketing of rapes in Sweden Albertoo Jun 2016 #22

Skyrocketing rapes coinciding with the massive influx of midle eastern & north african immigrants Quantess Jun 2016 #33

I agree with you. radicalliberal Jun 2016 #51

Would dear old dad call it "20 minutes of action" if it was his daughter being raped? keithbvadu2 Jun 2016 #21

Or his son, who will be wearing prison jumpsuit IronLionZion Jun 2016 #23

No, that would be "20 minutes of inaction" Gormy Cuss Jun 2016 #43
