    Chiming in from Sweden, the situation here was getting very bad (relatively to how it used to be here, and how it is in the rest of the Nordics). When my dad was a kid, shootings would be national news, when I was a kid, bombings would be national news. Nowadays they are both so frequent that it barely makes the dailies.

    Things have slowly started getting better again however, even if it’s slow going.

    Here’s a link to a visualization tool from our national broadcaster. Keep in mind, all of Sweden is just some 10 million people.
