“How many young people should be pushed in our suburbs this year?”
“How many young men shot to death in our suburbs this year? “
“We put a dark week behind us. In the space of three days, three shootings occurred in the small stockholm suburb of Sätra. The metro red line, 17 minutes from Stockholm city centre – but another reality for the young people living there, compared with city center. “
“the Days when the shootings occurred, I read about Satra in the daily newspapers. I saw the condolences on social media. But I read no statements from politicians, no one held any minute’s silence. No ljusmanifestationer, no political statements from the celebrities or influencers. Who cares if the boys and men who are murdered in the suburb in addition to suburbia, their own?”
“what if the streets could tell – how would the Stockholm voice sound then? A schizophrenic story about the one and the same city. Here are some of the world’s best schools – at the same time, we have young people who see no other way than a life outside the law. The question has been asked many times before, but how would Sweden react if the circumstances had been reversed? If the murders occurred 17 minutes from the suburbs, inside the city? “
“I used to work at home in Sätra. I cycled between the senior citizen’s apartments to help them keep track of the body, the home, and the loneliness. It was so cozy in Sätra. The parks where children could play were many people chatting when they bought the bread in the centre. Not the world’s best centre perhaps, somewhat limited range, but with the metro it is close to Bredäng and Skärholmen are everything. “
“Three shootings in the space of a week. Why is it happening just here? And perhaps even more importantly, how to react storsamhället?”
“Two guys were found in a basement. The police found them on the cellar floor, shot several times. The police suspect murder and the investigation is in full swing. Residents of the area gather together and mourn. Someone has painted one of the boys ‘ names in gold over källarens port, around the name, it says ”rest in peace” and ”our angel”. “
“I don’t know anything about the boys other than that they are missing. “
“the Sorrow of the Satra, three traumatized families. Friends and neighbors in shock. Three of the mothers have received the call that their sons will never come home. How many more mothers have to receive calls if the murdered sons before before our politicians decide to treat the situation as the national crisis it actually is? “
“the Number of people who die in suburbia due to vapenvåld poses a serious diagnosis on how our country is doing. Or does not belong to the suburb of Sweden? Is not we who live in the suburb of also swedes? Our children deserve exactly the same opportunities that I had when I grew up in Södermalm in Stockholm. “
“Three shootings in a week. Three dead bodies and three victims, on the other side of the weapon. The road up to the ports on the one side or the other of the gun may look different. But there are often several common denominators, socio-economic vulnerability, victims and perpetrators are young men, the suburb. This society created the segregation that puts our young people on a totally different startplaceringar when they shall start to run life’s marathon. “
“Our leaders must begin to take responsibility for this unacceptable reality. What is the action plan? Where is the haverikommissionen? As long as politicians are not addressing the social problems are more added police officers just a band-aid on a flesh wound and our suburbs continue to bleed young lives. How high will the figure be in a year?”
