I've heard absolutely nothing about Fridhemsplan except "unconfirmed gunshooting" so dunno what to make of that. Thinking it might be unrelated, or nothing at all.

You're the one putting religion on it before anyone knows.

This kind of terrorism is essentially unpreventable from societal cost/benefit standpoint. It's just too easy to steal a HGV and run people over or just go somewhere popular and start stabbing randomly.

Oh for sure, I know for a fact that there are some of those at Drottninggatan right outside Riksdagen. But I think those would have to be lowered by security personell. I'm just imagining the logistical nightmare to have to lower and rise those anytime a delivery truck arrives to 7/11.

Not that this too couldn't be somehow controlled for, but the car used in this attack was (reportedly) a beer delivery truck.

I would have to get rid of my own car, then. I'm still for it, gently caress it. So long as I have an alternative for delivery/moving poo poo that's not ruinously expensive, my car can go gently caress it's carbon emitting self.

Even in a car free, mostly truck free biking and public transport utopia one can still hijack a bus or something and just drive that recklessly enough to kill passengers and bystanders. Some determined fucker can even drive-by-knife people from his bike if he wants to, if not simply jogging up to them by foot. It's just a waste of resources to try and prevent these things with anything else than preemptive actions such as surveillance and other general and targeted actions aimed to prevent radicalization.

why would Nazis do this? However, its too early to say who did it. I remember when Breivik did his terror action. After I heard about the bomb in Oslo, I was sure it was Islamic. But it was not.
If I have to guess I would say it may be an ethnic Swede. A convert. They are the most insane of all.

Would you ban city-busses too? Those are huge, can get taken and also gives the bonus of being filled with more victims.

Really? I can see a lot of ways to prevent city buses from being taken over. It's also filled with people who can potentially stop a terrorist, and any kind of Speed scenario is just too loving stupid to even fathom.

To me there's no logical "why" to justify these kind of things. But for transparancy I feel it prudent to note how the man who attacked a school in southern Sweden some time ago was initially thought to be a jihadist, and turned out to be a nazi instead.

This looks more like an islamic attack, in that it used a heavy vehicle in much the same way as previously used in London, Berlin, Nice. This does not PROVE that it is of a islamic nature, mind you, but the similarity is noticeable.

Not really no. It's the usual door-thingy in between the entry door and the driver, but no glass or anything of the kind.

And though some newer models are much more enclosed they are still not impossible to enter from the outside, just more difficult. Which is good for the safety of the driver during accidents in most normal cases.

Well, he wrote a 1,500-page manifesto as to why and he's a nazi. But given the MO, it's likely to be Daesh-inspired.

If it's an Islamic terrorist then I would wager it's a fair chance he doesn't even know what a salafist is and is some kind of self-radicalized fuckwit who wants to "do something that matters" and strike out at the west (which turns up being Sweden cause that's where he is) and swear allegiance to ISIS or something in the process and dedicate the attack to them.

We'll see what this ends up being.

It's a Friday and a Friday night would normally mean that the innercity is crammed full with party-goers, and a lot of traffic in the subway. How is it NOT advisable to go out with this kind of warning after an attack?

My general (NOT directly witnessed mind you, I sit in my flat in Örebro) impression is that the Swedish police is handling this very, VERY seriously, and basically takes it all "säkra före det osäkra". Better safe than sorry.
