🇸🇪 Theories Emerge About the Örebro Massacre Sweden is slowly trying to recover from the deadliest mass shooting in its history. Yesterday, a memorial ceremony was held, with speeches from Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson, King Carl XVI Gustaf, and Queen Silvia. Queen Silvia spoke to the press, directly linking this tragedy to the bombings and shootings that have plagued Sweden for over a decade. "Where has the Sweden we knew gone?" she asked—a question that resonated with many Swedes who no longer recognize their own country. While some may dismiss the royal family as out of touch, the Queen’s words reflect the deep sense of loss felt by ordinary Swedes as their once-safe nation is transformed into a war zone of gang violence and social unrest. — 💥 New Motive Suggestion: An Attack on Social Services? While police have not yet confirmed a clear motive, reports in Swedish media now suggest that the Örebro massacre may have been an attack against the social services. 🔹 What We Know So Far: - Rickard Andersson, 35, had been receiving welfare benefits but had them revoked because he failed to apply for jobs. - He had no income for over a decade and reportedly fought the decision to cut his welfare. - Multiple social service employees are still missing, raising suspicions that social workers may have been among his targets. - According to a source with insight into the case, Andersson was deeply frustrated with the system: 👉 "He had conflicts with social services. That’s the only theory we have right now." 🔹 Police remain tight-lipped about the investigation, only stating that Andersson left no manifesto or explanation for his actions. They continue to emphasize that there is no indication of ideological motives behind the attack. — 🇸🇪 A System That Fails on All Fronts If these reports hold true, this case once again exposes the deep cracks in Sweden’s welfare state. - The welfare system is failing—it hands out benefits freely, yet struggles to enforce basic accountability, leading to frustration and resentment. - Social services are overwhelmed—understaffed, struggling with increasing threats, and now potentially the target of violent retaliation. - Mental health issues are often ignored—while we don’t know whether Andersson sought help, his long history of social isolation raises questions about the system’s ability to detect high-risk individuals. The truth will come out soon. But regardless of the final motive, this massacre is yet another sign of a society in deep decline #sweden #news #crime
🚨 Suspect in Sweden’s Deadliest Mass Shooting Identified Swedish media have now released the name and photo of the suspected perpetrator behind the Örebro mass shooting, confirming his identity as Rickard Andersson, 35. 🔹 What We Know About Andersson - Originally named Jonas Simon, he changed his name in 2017. - Described as a loner with extreme social anxiety, showing signs of withdrawal as early as elementary school. - Unemployed for over a decade, with no recorded income since 2014. - Never served in the military due to lack of qualifications. - Lived alone in an apartment in central Örebro since 2011. - No known ties to ideological extremism, according to police. 🔹 A Life of Isolation - Former classmates say he was “not contactable” by high school and often hid his face. - Earned mixed grades in high school, excelling in history and psychology but failing several subjects. - Reportedly spent most of his time watching TV at night and had little to no social life. - A close relative describes him as someone who “had no friends at all.” 🔹 Mental Health System Failures Once Again Sweden’s psychiatric care system has repeatedly failed to intervene in cases like this. Authorities are now searching his apartment, looking for clues on his motive. This case bears eerie similarities to the 2022 assassination of Ing-Marie Wieselgren, Sweden’s national coordinator for psychiatric care, who was stabbed to death by a man who had desperately sought psychiatric help but felt ignored by the system. As more details emerge, the question remains: How many more tragedies must occur before Sweden fixes its broken mental healthcare system? Further updates to follow. #sweden #örebro #news image
Sweden’s Deadliest Mass Shooting – What We Know So Far Sweden experienced its worst mass shooting in history yesterday at Campus Risbergska in Örebro. Eleven people are confirmed dead, including the suspected shooter. Another six individuals are receiving medical care. 🔹 The Perpetrator - A 35-year-old Swedish man, described as a loner with social difficulties. - Unemployed and previously unknown to police. - Authorities state that there is no ideological motive behind the attack. - According to former classmates, the suspect had long struggled with social isolation and mental health issues. 🔹 A Mental Healthcare System in Collapse This tragedy once again highlights Sweden’s failing psychiatric care system—a system that ignores high-risk individuals until it is too late. In 2022, Sweden’s national coordinator for psychiatric care, Ing-Marie Wieselgren, was stabbed to death during Almedalen Week. Her killer had repeatedly sought psychiatric help but felt ignored by the system. Now, less than two years later, another individual with clear signs of severe mental distress has committed Sweden’s deadliest mass shooting. 🔹 A Predictable Disaster Sweden’s psychiatric care has been hollowed out for decades. Instead of receiving early intervention and treatment, dangerous individuals are left isolated and untreated—until they explode in acts of extreme violence. While police and politicians scramble to respond, the truth remains: Sweden’s institutions are failing to handle the most vulnerable and dangerous individuals in society. 🔹 What’s Next? Authorities are still investigating the motive, but the pattern is clear. The warning signs were there. The system failed. And once again, innocent people paid the price. More updates as the situation develops. #sweden image
Around 10 died in the school shooting according to the police. They don't know the exact number yet (!). This is one of, if not the, biggest mass murders in Swedish history. #sweden

Following the debate in the talkshow "Hart aber Fair" tonight. The German election will be really interesting. I don't understand how anyone should be able to form a government when it looks like this. #germany #deutschland #politics
