Comment: The tragic killing of two Senegalese men and wounding of three others by a far-right anti-immigration extremist in Florence on Tuesday may have a Finnish connection with Suomen Kansalinen Vastarnta (SKV), a neo-Nazi association, according to YLE in English.
The mass killings in Norway in July and this week in Florence should be seen as wake up calls of the threat of far-right groups in Europe and how far they plan to go in order to get their hate message across.
In a recent poll by MTV3, presidential hopefuls Timo Soini of the PS, Kokoomus’ Sauli Niinistö and Christian Democrat Sari Essayah believed that the far right do not pose a threat to Finland.

The Finnish Security Intelligence Service (Supo) is taking an interest in the racist shooting in Florence. The shooter, who killed two African immigrant street traders, belonged to a far-right organisation that also has Finnish members.
This man places responsibility for the attack squarely at the feet of Italian politicians who openly encourage racism. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6W7fFgzgl2k
Here is an interesting link to a cartoon in the Helsinki Lutheran Church’s Kirkko ja Kaupunki newspaper: http://www.hs.fi/politiikka/Kotimaa24+Seurakuntalehden+pilakuva+aiheuttaa+n%C3%A4r%C3%A4%C3%A4+perussuomalaisissa+/a1305551461412
It has Soini and a group of PS members wishing ONLY white heterosexual conservative Finns a Merry Christmas. The rest can have a shitty Chirtmas and move out of the country.
The PS are, naturally, pissed off. Who is to blame? The PS. Yeah, right, only “one, two or three” racism cases in the PS.
