Neo-Nazis Attack Protesters in Sweden
28 arrested
(CNN) -- A vicious attack at an anti-racism demonstration in Stockholm, Sweden, on Sunday proved the protesters have a legitimate concern.
A group of 40 far-right extremists threw stones, bottles and fireworks at a group of 200 people holding an organized, legal demonstration to oppose racism and growing neo-Nazi sentiment in the area, Stockholm police spokesman Sven-Erik Olsson said Sunday.
Two demonstrators and two police officers were injured and taken to the hospital, Olsson said.

Neo Nazis are a thing still?
yeah all 40 of them, they're gunna blow this out of proportion in order to pass more hate speech laws and erode more freedoms away from the Swedes. Not that the supine, emasculated swedes even give a shit anymore.
