Yeah, that was on one of our news headlines: Politicians in Scandinavia are used to walk around freely among the voters; Will this effect the matter negatively again? I mean, should the people who decide really be guarded up so tight in the case of a voter who is displeased with the results?
Heck, several of our ministers have been in concerts, marathons and other similar happenings, and nothing has happened. Will this ‘freedom’ become diminished?

And yes, this is sad. I just hope Swedish politicians don’t become the tank surrounded politicians the US has. [/b]

i-ron-y (n)

It would if she had something to do with Sept. 11th or more accurately something to do with the aftermath; I dunno anything about her so I’m just guessing, but perhaps she had some not so kind words to say about the US’ involvement in Afghanistan or Iraq?

She called Bush “that crazy Texas cowboy” or something. =P I don’t remember, but it was something with Texas.
The article USED to say that they had a suspect who was “arrested in his absence” (meaning that he was more or less lawless), since the police had managed to identify him from the cameras in the store and from the fingerprints - he was quite well-known it turned out, had been sentenced for 49 other crimes already.
They caught him last night on a pub, which is great.
Now let’s just see if he gets five or eight years in prison. Our legal system is a joke when it comes to punishments -_-
