Even if the media claims that the 35-year-old gunman Rickhard Andersson was a lone wolf with no ideological ties to the killing of 11 people, the Swedish Police confirmed that they are not ruling out the possibility of a racist motivation behind the killings.
As investigations progress on Sweden’s worst mass shooting, the police have been slow to make any sttements on the killer’s motives.
Vänsterpartiet MP Momodou Malcolm Jallow wreites on Linkedin:
“Yet, even as we mourn, we must confront an undeniable reality: Sweden has a problem with white supremacist violence,& the state refuses to acknowledge it.
The police were quick to claim that the perpetrator had no ideological motive—yet, in the same breath, they stated that he left no digital trail. How can both of these claims be true? If there are no digital traces, no manifesto, no online discussions to analyze, then on what basis did they so swiftly rule out ideology as a factor?”
The fact that the killings is taking such a long time to investigate y the police raises some questions.
Hopefully we’ll get the final police report soon.
