Edward Blom criticized Svenska Dagbladet's news article by Oskar Carlsson, which he believed was biased and took the side of the French rioters. According to Blom, the article focused on one of them being injured and described him as a boy, even though he was 15 years old, while showing a picture of demonstrators fleeing from police tear gas. Blom claimed that the article did not depict violence against teachers and emergency services. He cited using flamethrowers against someone's face, burning fire trucks, and kicking lying police officers as examples of actions he considered to be riots and terrorism, not demonstrations. #Sverige #Nyheter #Terrorism (translated)
