YOU’VE got to appreciate the mendacious consistency of the press. This caption is from the Financial Times:

Policemen extinguish burning cars after youths rioted in Husby, Sweden, on May 20, 2013. Youths in the immigrant-heavy Stockholm suburb torched cars and threw rocks at police, in riots believed to be linked to the deadly police shooting of a local resident.

And then there’s this from the BBC:

It’s hard to discern a pattern in the violence that has wracked the Swedish capital Stockholm for five nights.

And:

In the areas affected, local people said the motive of the youths making trouble was anger over joblessness.

Some said it was simply a matter of criminality and parents were to blame for not controlling their offspring better.

There was a widespread assertion that the violence was not motivated by Islamist ideology.
