Spotify Executive Chris Bevington Dies In Stockholm Attack (variety.com)
"On Friday, four people were killed and about 15 more were injured when a truck plowed through a shopping area in the heart of Sweden's capital," reports Variety. One of the four victims was Chris Bevington, an executive at Spotify. An anonymous reader writes:
"The British 41-year-old had served as Spotify's director of global partnerships/business development, working from Stockholm," reports Variety. The streaming service's founder, Daniel Ek, confirmed the news with a Facebook post on Sunday. "Chris has been a member of our band for over five years. He has had a great impact on not just the business but on everyone who had the privilege to know and work with him. There are no words for how missed he will be or for how sad we all are to have lost him like this."
He'd be safe in his basement, covered in Cheeto dust.
Damn you society! Why must you hate on Rust!?! Another life taken!!!!
if only we could do something about these trucks driving into crowds by themselves for no reason
oh well guess its hopeless
You have been visited by the islamic truck of tolerance!
Honk Honk!
Now hold on. I'm a Rust programmer and I need to clear this up. We don't eat only Cheetos.
We eat from the whole "'tos" family. Doritos, Fritos, Oreotos( ok I cheated on that one). So stop saying we're covered in just Cheeto dust. We're covered in all sorts of dusts.
This is why we will go to the UK in the future, but avoid Sweden and the invaded territory of Europe. They have made themselves into a violent third world shithole and committed suicide.

make the refugees police and let them enforce sharia law?
Remember who to thank for this.
I suppose you would feel different about it if it was your mother that had died, especially as that would mean you would have to move out of her basement.
Sorry he was killed, but some Spotify exec dying is very minor news. What did the three other people do for a living?

The current party is the one that put the breaks on letting refugees in and making the asylum process stricter. The guy who committed the attack was denied asylum. The previous party that was in power, which was center-right, was the one that was turning a blind eye towards unskilled immigrants arriving for years. I suspect they will try to speed up the process of deported failed asylum seekers and keeping a closer watch on them going forward.
Some shitty people took advantage of the Syrian refugee crisis expecting they'd make it into a top European country and either be accepted despite not being Syrian or be able to get away with lying about it, and live the good life on welfare and a few extremists as well for the purpose of carrying out attacks. Europe really wasn't ready for it, did not have a strong defense on its outer border (and still doesn't, it's likely impossible to guard all possible entry points), the laws they had in place were built around handling a much smaller number of refugees in a more controlled manner. Most countries have since adapted, the number of refugees arriving has dropped dramatically, but they're still trying to figure out what to do with the ones they have and deporting the failed asylum seekers. Once the war is over in Syria, the refugees will be sent back as European countries have done with refugees from other countries that are now safe. Yeah, I'm sure some will slip through the cracks for awhile until they're caught, same shit happens in almost every major country though.
Europe has never been heaven. There are often some difficult issues going on, countries adapt to them through the normal political process and don't need to go apeshit fourth reich like the far right thinks is the only way to handle things.
I don't know, they seem to be pretty eager to put the pedal to the metal.
People are claiming this to justify their anti-Islam positions. Talking about this is racist.
No, it's not. Liberals need to stop name calling and get a clue:
RACISM IS NOT DEFINED AS "SOMETHING THAT DISAGREES WITH THE LEFT!"
We CAN talk about issues without being racist, holding racist beliefs, or being prejudiced.
Grow the fuck up and have adult conversations.
It seems that many terrorist attacks in recent years have come from Muslims. This might be a false perception because of media bias, so
1) Does anyone have strong statistical evidence that the problem is Islam, and not a different common feature?
2) Would it make sense to bar entry to the US from certain world areas?
3) Would it make sense to put Muslims under enhanced scrutiny domestically?
As an anecdote to #3, I heard news articles saying that the local Imam in Florida was calling for death to gays before the nightclub attack. Are such overt calls for violence protected as free speech or freedom of religion, or should we make certain exceptions?
Discuss. None of these questions is racist, or indicate inherent racism to an intelligent person. (But it might to liberals.)
Ex-USSR uneducated, radicalized, revanshistic scum is killing people producing innovations in the heart of progressive, liberal Europe.
Islam has nothing to do with Islam!
Islam is not a race.
Muslim is not a race.
Religion is a choice, of course, and we should all be held to account for the choices and affiliations we make.
However, I do take issue with your statement, because it implies that there are multiple human "races" when there aren't. There is only one race capable of reading this message: the human race. Skin pigment, country of origin, sex, hair/eye colour, etc., are not determinants. If we can breed, then we're the same race.

Do care more for this guy than the others because he worked for a tech company? The other three had hobbies, relationships, careers (except the eleven year-old).
I get that this is a tech news site, but the fact that he worked for a company we've heard of (or that he made a lot of money) does not seem like sufficient cause to care about his death so much more than the other victims.

To be a racist, you need to believe there are different races in first place and classify people by those.
Also "White racist" is a quite terrible statement, as its a racist affirmation by itself.
You don't need to be born in the middle east to explode yourself for allah.
No, Homo Sapiens is a species. There are multiple races, that is, various biological adaptations to different environments etc. Claiming anything else is just ideological indoctrination, no matter if you claim that there's only one race, or that some race is worth more than others.
There's plenty of evidence for it, like how some races are more or less susceptible to certain health issues, like say being less likely to suffer from Malaria but instead having an 8 times higher risk of contracting diabetes. Or, for another race, increased susceptibility to Malaria and more likely to suffer from clinical depression, but less susceptible to diabetes. There is plenty of biological evidence that proves your ideological imperative wrong.
As for your statement regarding breeding, you clearly show that you are quite ignorant about biology: Races can interbreed and produce viable offspring. Hell, in some families, you can even have cross-species breeding, though the offspring becomes either completely(Liger, male Mules), or mostly sterile(female mules).

Irresponsible disclosure is responsible
I'm neither for nor against the concept of the private ownership of portable weapons, but I think this is further proof that the question of relatively easy access to such devices has become irrelevant, at least, in cases where a determined would-be killer, whether ideologically motivated or just plain nuts, is involved. Military-style weapons such as bombs and rapid-fire guns have been used, as well as more cumbersome tools as hand guns and knives, and even implements that you won't normally think of as weapons, such as trucks and, yes, cookware (Boston marathon bombing).
The debate over guns is another matter, but in a discussion about terrorism and other forms of mass murder, it only clouds the issue. We are really better off discussing whether we should ban globalized social media, where individuals from different cultures are exposed to a dangerous fusion of ideas.
What I mean about such dangerous ideas is that some ideas, while relatively harmless on their own might produce dangerous consequences when combined. Conservative Islam, uprooted from its roots, could produce an inner conflict in a potential terrorist who sees "immoral" women wearing miniskirts and men drinking and doing drugs in broad daylight, actions that would be improper at worst to a culturally acclimatized member of a liberal society. Now if such ideas are restricted to the region of their origin, where such ideas are deemed conventional rather than radical, then maybe we can reduce incidents of ideological schizophrenia that lead to the random acts of violence that we call terrorism.

Presumably, they did not work for companies fighting tooth and nail to keep the borders open.
It sucks that he died, sucks that they all died. It was, however, predictable (and predicted) and preventable. The last one was too, and the next one will be, and the next, etc.
So, the red pills will flow. And when one of the victims was not spared despite working for a company that thinks that "diversity is our strength", well, like it or not, but that sort of thing makes the red pills flow that much faster.

Sweden is a runner-up for rapes per capita, fighting with Botswana for the second spot (after South Africa).
Really messes with a statistics if you have a country like Sweden classify consensual sex, with non-consensual condom disappearance, as rape.
They should just call it the Assange sexual offense.
Wait, Assange apologists still exist? I though you guys had given up when he lied about surrendering if Obama granted clemency to Manning.
lucm, indeed.
Muslim is not a race.
You wouldn't know it based on the reaction to the travel ban President Trump tried.
The Daddy casts sleep on the Baby. The Baby resists!
You are right, so to reduce the rape stats, we should look at the countries with the lowest amount of rapes per capita, and learn from them. The bottom three are Saudi Arabia, India and Egypt.
Sweden's high stats are because everything counts as rape, even things that in some countries aren't even crimes. Also, if the act is repeated, then it's counted twice. There have been cases where the same person (often in couples or married) where charged with 50 counts of rape. Finally, in Sweden, everything possible is done to make sure rapes are reported.
Just think what you could achieve if you weren't obsessed with Muslims.

There ain't no such thing as proprietary standards only proprietary formats. Standards are by definition open.
No. For several reasons: Sweden have a different definition of rape than many other countries, there is no social stigma in reporting a rape unlike many countries and the legal system have to handle any (substantial) claims of criminal activity even if the victim doesn't seek help themselves.
IOW the rape rate in Sweden can't be directly compared to other countries and if compensated for then it is in the normal range of a western nation.
There are plenty of evidence that some genetic marker are present in certain population, marking certain population to a greater weakness (or sometime strength) against some sickness. But it is disputable that they mark what you would call biological race, as they lack the physical isolation, do not have very specific karyotyp (even the melanine one) in human it is only a more likelyness to have such karyotyp or even a continuum of various karyotyp. The only subset you may do is possibly morphological, but even for that and for the karyotyp, you do not have specific identifier you can assign 100%, you have a continuum. That is why even if you look at various biological book or source, they usually sidestep the issue of human race, not because of the sociological indication, but simply because there is no easy way to separate and quantify those. And no, even skin color do not work that well (morphological races - would put for example part of india with africa).

Was never meant as an insult but rather to point out differences, as I don't think everything possible is being done in Saudi to get women to report rape, and since most things considered rape in Sweden aren't even crimes in Saudi, it wouldn't matter anyway.
Sweden is extreme in the other direction, which results in high rape stats, but this is a good thing imho (that they are being reported and that the laws are the way they are).
Sexual assault? The thing is that conditional consent fails when the condition fails. Just because two people consent to sex doesn't mean that one person starting to fuck the other while he/she is asleep isn't rape. Just because a girl consent to normal (vaginal) sex doesn't mean forcing a penis, finger or hand up their ass is okay.
I admit that the case you are referring to is a bit of borderline but that's just it - not only was there one instance of the same thing happening, there were two closely timed instances indicating the person in question have a habit of doing it. That the person in question is a lying, slandering coward that tries to call an investigation into his activities political harassment and hides away (with ludicrous excuses) when realizing that what he have done is considered rape (and rightly so) really speaks for itself.

The problem is that the word "race" encompasses both biological differences and social ones. Even worse, we aren't entirely sure which is which in every case.
In practice, 90% of what people mean when they say "race" is purely artificial social division.

I heard news articles saying that the local [religous leaders] calling for death to gays
These are not left/right questions, it is a free speech issue and a rascism/protectionism issue. Here in Scandinavia terror spread from the far right is actually a bigger concern, if we look at terror attacks on our soil. These acts of terror are not done by muslims, and by your logic we should start looking harder at the far right and prohibiting their leaders to express themselves in media. We already hinder free speech, and it is helping to some extent to have consequences when you call for the death of all ZYX, not very harsh though. We are not banning far right activists entry, that's about as ridiculous as your suggestion though.
So sure your statements are racist, let me use a car analogy; car owners kill a lot of people with their cars, it would make a lot more sense for the US to ban cars from certain high risk areas. Sure they are "accidents" but they do happen consistently and the group of car owners can very well be held responsible, just as you say that the billions of muslims in the world should take responsibilities for the actions of the few.
In the end when you say "we should not let the group XYZ do ZYX" it's easily rascism.
Yes, but what kind of life is that? You'd envy the dead.

But to answer your question, no, I'm not Jewish. At least according to a document that belonged to my grandpa that was issued by people who really, really, REALLY thought it's important for some odd reason that he's not. He and me didn't get along too well, but hey, according to you that doesn't matter, what matters is that he's my grandpa, right? It's in the genes, because people are preprogrammed idiot machines that are limited by what their ancestors were.
And with people like you, I almost believe that.
We used to have a Bill of Rights. Now, with the rights gone, all we have left is the bill.
Well, if you start arguing that way, then you'll find that there is no racism anywhere because there are no races in the sense racists would assume. The idea of a phenotypical race is considered ill-conceived and plays no substantial role in biology for a long time. Nazi talk about races is pseudo-science and everybody knows it, since the time we're able to map genes.
But "racism" as it is used nowadays, has nothing to do with races anyway, it's about marginalizing and discriminating minorities, as every educated adult including you knows. Often the word is also used to convey the original sense of chauvinism, i.e., discriminating people by their country of origin.
However, I'm pretty sure you and the /. moderators who voted you up knew all that already. What you and they reveal by your hypocritical language corrections is that your are, indeed, bigoted racists, whether you are aware of it or not. On a side note, regardless of the meaning of "racism", judging 1.6 billion people on the basis of the actions of a few dozen to maybe even a few thousands among them is just stupid.
Being good at business is a crime? I always knew you were a batshit insane Euro, spreading you host file malware, but you have jumped the shark. Get out of your basement.
Yep. But the odds will be higher if you born in a place where the radical islam took over, which obviously means that if you take away the radical islam, you reduce or remove the people willing to blow up for allah.
The problem here is that people that are against muslims are against the religion itself, not the social class or where they did born.
To be racist by your definition would be to give an OK pass to for example "white" middle class US citizens that converted into the radical islam, which is not the case.
It is well known that most misery in the world is caused by muslims.
No, it isn't.
I'd say that "men" and "corporations" go much higher on that list. And I see no indication that Islam causes more misery than other Abrahamic religions; i.e. plenty of misery for all of them.
Seen from an outside perspective, they're all just minor variations on a theme.
Can a muslim change its barbarism? Can a leopard change its spots? It's in the genes, stupid!
Faith is genetic?
The propensity for faith might be genetic. There might have been benefits in humanity's distant path, where subjecting to authority and taking what they said at face value no matter what increased survival. It may be linked to how children for the first few years believe their parents, even when they say strange things like that a tiny little insect can cause you lots of harm, or that you shouldn't touch the beautiful red sparkles.
There are a significant number of people who either never get to the point where they question what their parents taught them, or don't stop being gullible. That may be genetic.
But which superstitions people are afflicted with is not written in the genes. Whether you go postal at an abortion clinic, shoot kids who throw rocks at your tank, strap on a suicide belt, or mutilate newborns appears to be more a result of geography.
Actually, funny enough, I have proof that you'd probably even accept. I just honestly don't really care enough about the opinion of someone like you.
Because I know how it continues. I've been there before. You'd just lament how horrible it is that a good decent Aryan like me is falling for the Jewish plot of total annihilation of the human race. Except Jews, of course. And Commies, let's not forget about the Commies.
For some odd reason, the likes of you don't die out. The most recent idiocy is how Jews conspire with Muslims to get the downfall of humanity going. Because Jews and Muslims are great buddies. But sense and logic isn't really the big topic when it comes to simple solutions based on hatred.
Your philosophy can be summed up with a simple creed: I fail as a human, and I don't want to take the blame, so the Jew is to blame. Or the Muslim. Or the Mexican. Or the establishment. Or someone else, the scapegoat du jour. But not me! I'm not to blame that my life is going to waste!

Taking away radical religion is easier said than done.
Question: Would you fall for the bullshit? Would you blow yourself up for the promise of a great afterlife or some petty cash for your loved ones? Probably not. Why? 'cause you enjoy this life.
We simply have to export that. Give people a reason to live and something to lose and they will no longer throw their life away. As long as people think that death and the weak promise of maybe something cool in the next life, provided there is one, is better than what they already have, this ain't going to change.

Free Anders Breivik and let him deal with the problem.
But remember, the swedes define a broken condom already as "rape". So it's easy to get the numbers high. Assange knows all about it. :-(
While a slippery slope I'd question, or at least be a bit critical of those stats. I say this because I believe in certain cases the actual reporting to which those stats get built from are going to be highly influenced by how easy it might be for the victim to come forward and report the rape in the first place. The three countries you list, I suspect would likely have many challenges to the reporting I think.
First of all, Being against Islam or Christianity is not racist at all, it's quite reasonable in my point of view. Being against something or someone doesn't make anyone a racist, certainly not according to the definition that I gave. (Did you even read my post?) Second, this is not about 'my' definition, I'm not Humpty-Dumpty, it's about the meaning of the word, which for a long time has had nothing to do with races and also isn't meant that way according to law. It concerns the deliberate discrimination of minorities. Third, yes, of course, someone who actively discriminates a white middle class US citizen just because he converted to Islam does definitely qualify as a racist.
It would be nice to have a word as strong as "racist" that works for both minorities and majorities, i.e., that points out that someone makes crass overgeneralizations and holds overly general negative stereotypes about some large group of people without pointing out any particular individuals or particular bad actions. However, this is not very important for majorities, because these can defend themselves against injustice fairly well by being in the majority.
You are fucking insane.
We're commenting on an article about a man killed by a Muslim extremist, acting out the screed of his death-worship cult.
Islam is a violent and oppressive ideology, which instructs followers to kill anyone who tries to leave, and enslave anyone who won't convert.
The other Abrahamic religions have no such imperatives, and are not instructed by modern interpretation to kill non-believers. There are hundreds of millions of Muslims who believe DEATH is the appropriate response to speech against Islam. You will find no such support for that barbarism in any other belief system outside of fringe cults.
But you already know this. You feign ignorance either because you condone it, or are brainwashed to not see it for what it is: Genocide.
The bottom three are Saudi Arabia, India and Egypt........
Sweden's high stats are because everything counts as rape, even things that in some countries aren't even crimes.
Indeed. In addition, which two countries are the kidnapping capitals of the world?
Australia and Canada.
Official figures from the United Nations show that there were 17 kidnaps per 100,000 people in Australia in 2010 and 12.7 in Canada.
That compares with only 0.6 in Colombia and 1.1 in Mexico.
The Julian Assange extradition case has put Sweden's relatively high incidence of rape under the spotlight. But can such statistics be reliably compared from one country to another?
It's not a mystery, it's been reported time and time again, the definition of rape changed, but more importantly, each count of rape started to count as an individual offense, so in a marriage, there could be 100s of rapes happening between the same two people. This is what you were referring to right?
"diversity is our strength"
I hate this saying. It is such a clear and obvious lie. Diversity is not, at all, a strength, but an exploitable weakness. At best, it is a challenge that requires enormous effort to overcome. If your neighborhood goes from having one culture to having ten, it is not stronger. Your neighborhood that used to agree on lots of things now has hundreds of potential conflicts, and it becomes very easy to exploit these differences to pit people against each other. The only reason to tell people that "diversity is a strength" is because you're trying to divide and conquer.
We don't have a state-run media we have a media-run state.

In practice, 90% of what people mean when they say "race" is purely artificial social division.
But everyone knows what you're talking about when you say "a black guy" or "an asian guy" or "a white guy." Having to say "this collection of human haplogroups" or "individuals of recent European descent" is just a type of tone policing. The "race is just as social construct" talk only comes out when it's a right winger speaking about race. You'll never find the leftists chanting "The Social Construct of 'Black' Describing Human Haplogroups Common to Peoples of Recent African Descent's Lives Matter!"

What the honest fuck are you even talking about?
If we're going to start prattling off "races" based on minor genetic variations, we're going to have to start inventing the "ginger race" (sunburn easily), the "albino race" (predisposed to a bunch of specific diseases), the "blonde race" (yuh know, tend to be wild in bed or something), the "race of people with webbed toes" (tend to be better swimmers), ...
Seriously. Your response is utter contrived horseshit.

I can't verify or deny that as far as Sweden specifically, but immigrants tend to be less violent than native populations, so Sweden stats would have to be substantially different from the US statistics for it to be true.

Suddenly you seem well versed in the details of swedish rape cases
No. Just in this one, which has been amply documented. Use that "google" thing you'll see.
yet only a few posts ago you were parroting the well-trodden shit about the "rape capital" of the world.
This is actually from Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Look at the table then click on the small arrows to sort numbers, you will see what country comes third.
But hey, don't let extremely simple google queries stand in the way of your arrogance.
lucm, indeed.
You are right, so to reduce the rape stats, we should look at the countries with the lowest amount of rapes per capita, and learn from them. The bottom three are Saudi Arabia, India and Egypt.
Nice attempt of avoiding the subject and what's really happening:
Importation of people who rape crazy-much relative Swedes.
Sweden's high stats are because everything counts as rape
No, Swedish rape statistics are high because women here may report a rape offence and rape is a crime in Sweden, but also Sweden import more rapist / capita then any other western nation by far and those aren't Swedes and act like Swedes but rather continue or may even exaggerate the culture of their home land and hence rape very much indeed here which then get reported and that make the statistics go high.
That they rape like crazy is an well-known fact since long. The current government of course isn't interested in up to date statistics about that because .. go figure. But we've got our own older statistics, we've got the statistics of our neighbour countries, we've got experience from reports when someone are sentenced and we've also got "far-right" (as in the only people who are right? Rather than extremely lying?) websites who conveniently go through the court cases and see and generate statistics from them.
even things that in some countries aren't even crimes
That doesn't change that ~4 years of immigration make the women who say they have been victims of sexuality criminality triple. That's not reports to the police, that's not sentences, that's not law changes, that's just women who answer a question and much more often do so with a "yes."
Also, if the act is repeated, then it's counted twice.
Yeah, bla bla bla, too bad we've also got those inconvenient cases where people are actually asked.

Sweden used to be a world-leader in statistics about the population. Since the genocidal traitor regime doesn't want the results of their treason and actions to be revealed for the population such things are becoming more and more a thing of the past, just like the freedom of speech, Swedish innocence, women at cafeterias and outside with men, non-sexually-segregated schools and education, safety, trust against each other, trust of the government and so on.. But it's all good. Because we've got diversity. And that's awesome. Just look at all other happy diverse nations with their explosive cultures. Finally we've got our chance to become equal to them. Equality is good. Oh joy. If you think you deserve better than whatever citizen in the middle-east then you're a racist anyway. Everything need to become equally bad. Don't fix their societies; ruin ours instead.
There have been cases where the same person (often in couples or married) where charged with 50 counts of rape.
Yeah, there's also a shit-load of gang-rapes and assault-rapes from people the victim didn't knew since before, something which before was uncommon for Sweden. But let's ignore that and instead try to trick the reader that really nothing have changed and that it's completely safe to import lots of destructive asocial dangerous criminal rapists from the third world. Nothing will happen! They will instantly become Swedes as soon as they cross the border! Everyone on the subway in Stockholm is a Swede, some idiot have made that claim before so it must be true!
Finally, in Sweden, everything possible is done to make sure rapes are reported.
Yeah, e
A monoculture can be completely wiped out by a single disease, so yes, diversity is a strength.
