131 dead, 520 wounded. 1500 shootings (over 7 years). Bad aim for sure but still, what is rotten in Sweden? Why does this happen?
Is this a result of beautiful multi culture or is there another reason? We don't have this in Norway or Denmark so I find it kinda strange.

Statistics basically.
Sweden have for the last 20-30 years had the highest immigration rate in Europe, which have consisted of a large proportion of young (15-25) men from MiddleEast/Afrika.
As Brå 2005 showed, people in that category have 3-4 higher ratio of being suspected for violent crimes. As that category grows in terms of part of the population, the number of crimes grow proportionally.

As for multicultural things, that has little to do with it.
Alienation, poverty might have something to do with it (where the question is whether you are a poor and alienated due to society or due to poor life choices).
Sydsvenskan did a series about the gang in Seved, and the behaviour among the gangs had more in common with The Wire, than any form of immigration.

That said, the dead are mostly among the gangs, with some innocent bystanders, and the places mostly suffering from this are the immigration-rich areas.
Which incidentally means that any handwaving of this hurts the immigrant-rich areas the most.

Additionally, what Cardiac is leaving out is how haphazardly jumping into this with a 'tough on crime' approach (which has become the norm in the last year) could be equally or in fact even more detrimental than hand-waving it.

Almost all of this is gang on gang violence, which isn't really a big deal. Sweden is still one of the safest countries in the world as long as you don't join a gang or walk into a turf war.

Hmm yes, but the US is very different from almost all the nations in the world. They are maybe the only true multi cultural nation. There is no welfare like in the Nordic nations.
No real security for those that fail. Are you saying that sweden can be compared to that?

That is not surprising with states that have embraced globalization. White people are a minority on this world. The US was built on that from the start and, while the difference
may not be that massive, I feel that I am on safe ground with saying that its very much in the lead in the western world about that issue.

Like everyone has already mentioned, these morons are mainly interested in killing each other. For most civilians and bystanders these things are just an inconvenience. There's been like one or two collateral deaths but mainly it's people waking up at night because of a grenade or a gun going off somewhere in the neighborhood.

I get that it is people killing each other, but surely we’d prefer they didn’t and especially use explosives meant for battlefields. Seems very silly to just stick your head in the sand and say they’re blowing each other up, not us, so all is well.

Yeah, it's about perceived safety. You can't just point at statistics and say "Look, 98% of people killed are other gang members, it's fine."

Surprise, people don't like it when criminals run around in their neighbourhood shooting at each other.

Perceived safety is actually a rather big thing.
One reason crime rates go down is due to people taking precautions to avoid crime.
Some of the statistics Sanandajj points out in in Massutmaning (which btw cover this subject) is the growth in security companies, the rise in the ratio of home alarms and the decline in people letting their kids go by themselves to school.
All are cases of where the potential of crime is reduced.

As for gang members killing each other, the tally of innocent victims is also rising, which is hardly surprising since the perpetrators are young men with addiction issues, lack of self control and consequence thinking with easy access to pistols and grenades.
Not really a good mix.
