Update I: A little drama, viewed with a bit of humor

[Guest guest]

That the police held up our train when we were on our way to Malmoe this past weekend, was not the only dramatic thing we were close to that evening. About an hour after we arrived to our neighbor's friend from work, the police closed in on and arrested a suspect in the serial shootings* that has been going on in that city the last year, in the very block of houses where we were. There is, of course, nothing funny about these shootings, it's probably only luck that has kept the death toll down to one, despite so many shot, and I am glad the police finally was able to make an arrest, and hope that it's the right man (since a court did deem the evidence against him enough to keep him in jail after the first 48 hours, it is looking hopeful, but that still doesn't mean he is proven guilty). But we couldn't help to comment to our host, on the fact that the arrest was made when we, who spend as little time in Malmoe as we possibly can, were in such close vicinity, that: "Well, you know, we may visit Malmo as seldom as we can, but if we had known that all it took for the police to have a breakthrough in this sad case, was our personal precence, we would have come much, much earlier. All you had to do was ask."love/Reb* With one exception the people who have been shot have been, or had the outward appearance of being, immigrants. Therefor the gunman is suspected to have acted on racist motives (the one non-immigrant victim, also the only one to die as a result of the shootings, was a young woman who at the time was in the company of an immigrant man, who was shot too, therefor that shooting could well have had a racist motive too).
