It's the Cover Up, Stupid!

As Bruce Bawer puts it, Sweden is committing cultural suicide. It is surrendering itself and its children to an invading horde of Muslim refugees. In the name of multiculturalism and feminism it is allowing its women and children to be raped, molested and murdered. It has chosen to defend the inalienable rights of criminals ahead of its own children. Who is excusing rape culture now?

The multiculturalists who are running this abomination are like a Fifth Column, destroying the national will from within… the better to allow the nation to be taken over by alien forces.

Bawer has the story:

How can a Swedish woman raped by an illegal Muslim immigrant be so bursting with racial guilt that she hesitates to report the crime to the police for fear that her report might lead to her rapist's punishment or deportation? Or, more generally, because news of the offense might result in an increase in “Islamophobia?"

Of course, the powers that be have willfully blinded themselves to the truth. They do not want to deal with the facts. They do not believe in facts. They prefer to wallow in their self-righteous sentimentality:

More than any other country in Europe, it [Sweden] has a government and a media that are in denial about the truth, a legal system that punishes those who dare to tell the truth, and a people who have been brainwashed for decades with the vile lie that they have a moral obligation to hand their country over to hostile, despotic strangers from far away.

The government and the media has worked hard to cover up the facts… the less you know the better off you are:

It's just that, with extremely rare exceptions, the important facts about the nation's disastrous Islamization don't find their way into the country's own mainstream media. On the contrary, Sweden's major TV, radio, and print outlets are notorious for the fidelity with which they parrot the government line and omit or whitewash uncomfortable news developments.

The Swedish criminal justice system has colluded, excusing crimes committed by refugees:

Indeed. This is a country where rapes by Muslim men are systematically ignored by the authorities or responded to with minimal punishment. Routinely, Swedish courts refuse to return these monsters – some of whom have repeatedly subjected small boys and girls to violent sexual abuse – to their home countries for fear that they'll be put in danger. In other words, Swedish judges care more about the safety of foreign rapists than that of Swedish children.

If you think it can’t happen here, you are wrong. If you believe that left thinking Americans in places like San Francisco would never collude with an effort to cover up crimes, you are wrong. In truth, police authorities in San Francisco have been hard at work to cover up crimes that have been taking place on the BART trains. The crimes involve petty larceny, but you know and I know that they will not stop there. 

The crimes are committed by gangs of minority youths mugging innocent white people. We can’t have people believing that such actions are taking place. They would compromise the reputations of minority youth.

Melissa Caen has the story:

In the last three months, there have been at least three robberies on BART involving groups of teenagers.

“I think people are genuinely concerned — they are fearful about the stories that have come out about the recent attacks, the assaults, the thefts,” said Debra Allen, who is a member of the BART Board of Directors.

April 22: Forty to sixty kids boarded a train at the Coliseum stop and robbed seven passengers, beating up two;

June 28: a group of four kids assaulted a passenger and made off with a cell phone at Dublin; and

June 30: a woman on a train with about a dozen teenagers had her phone snatched by one them before the group got off at the Coliseum stop. Thankfully, a good Samaritan was on hand to retrieve the phone.

So far, BART has refused to turn over surveillance video for any of these incidents.

Why have BART authorities refused to show the surveillance video? You guessed it:

According to a memo distributed to BART Directors, the agency won’t do a press release on the June 30 theft because it was a “petty crime” that would make BART look “crime ridden.” Furthermore, it would “unfairly affect and characterize riders of color, leading to sweeping generalizations in media reports.”

The memo was from BART Assistant General Manager Kerry Hamill.

They are protecting the reputations of criminals. Did they imagine that exposure and shaming might be a good disincentive to these criminals? Did they imagine that their enlightened policy might be encouraging crime:

Hamill responded, “If we were to regularly feed the news media video of crimes on our system that involve minority suspects, particularly when they are minors, we would certainly face questions as to why we were sensationalizing relatively minor crimes and perpetuating false stereotypes in the process.” And added her opinion of the media: “My view is that the media’s real interest in the videos of youth phone snatching incidents isn’t the desire for transparency but rather the pursuit of ratings. They know that video of these events will drive clicks to their websites and viewers to their programs because people are motivated by fear.”

Apparently, they have not.
