So fill us in. I read the article and they did not seem to provide anything conclusive or even a strong theory.

I'm waiting for Forge to come on tomorrow morning to complain about foreigners posting their thoughts in this forum.

So where did you pick up the link about an explosion?

And more interesting. It was no explosion. Again, get your facts straight. It is not that hard.

It was a drive by. It was obviously black people.

Long Chile was a silly place.

Well now you just sound silly. Did you read the article he provided? It mentions an explosion in Malmo right in the title and then says that the explosion occurred outside the city at roughly 9pm. It was a separate event from the shooting, and may or may not have been connected. If you read the full article, you'll see reference to it.

If you're going to let Duffy push your buttons, then you can't make yourself look dumb by not having the facts straight.

If there was an explosion in Sweden that event should be all over Swedish media.
I read Swedish and no explosion is mention.

Maybe the right thing to do is to check you sources and then check with other sources.
An explosion in any part of Scandinavia would have gather a lot of media in Scandinavia and also in Europe.

Feel free to check SVT http://www.svt.se/nyheter/ or BBC.com

If you simply Google "explosion, Malmo" you'll find numerous reports. If you had just read the article he posted, you would have seen the report, and you wouldn't have been asking him where he got it from.

Whether the reports are accurate or not is a separate question, but if you're going to jump in here and accuse people of not having a clue, getting one yourself would be a good place to start.

you are absolutely correct Sir, it was in Malmo.

Weird stuff re: internets. I click on the link and this is the headline:

And the article only mentions finding an unexploded bomb. No mention of explosion in article that comes up when I click on duffy's link. Copied here.

What is going on??

The article has this line - "An explosion was then heard at Helenholm, a suburb of Malmo, at around 9pm local time, but this is now understood to have caused by fireworks."

The original did not have the clarification about fireworks. The article has since been updated. As I mentioned earlier, the accuracy of the reports is always something to continue to look into, but there really wasn't any reason for Halvard to come storming in asking people where the explosion idea came from or telling us there was no such thing because he would have heard of it.

Other news venues reported:

"The shooting came two hours before reports began circulating of an explosion in Heleneholm, a kilometre away from the scene of the shooting, The Express reported."


"The Swedish city of Malmo was on alert tonight after an explosion rocked one of its suburbs."

This is not difficult.
If you want the best information go to reliable sources.
Any explosion in Sweden would have gotten a lot of coverage in Swedish media.
Also it is more important for Swedish media to be correct than some website in another country.

I checked several Swedish sources and non of them matched the link given by the first post.

Conclusion: no explosion in Malmo yesterday

Ok. But be patient with Duffy and slowguy as fireworks combined with drive-by shootings in Sweden are exciting news to folks in Southern California. They get drive-byes daily, but fireworks are rare as they are banned because of the drought.

It really isn't difficult. Don't be an ass.

Most of us here in the US don't speak Swedish, and are not likely to be familiar with Swedish news sites. You didn't come in and tell us that the reports mentioned were probably incorrect. You came in and made it sound like the explosion was completely made up, and that it wasn't even in the article, because you clearly didn't read what was posted. This, because you're in too big a hurry to make yourself sound smarter than Duffy, that you couldn't be bothered to actually look into it.

Apparently, Sweden's Expressen reported the same thing I showed you in multiple other outlets. All of them have now been updated.

"Sweden’s Expressen newspaper reported that a loud noise was heard about two hours after the shooting in the Malmo’s southern district of Helenholm, located about 1 kilometer from the scene of the shooting. Police have been deployed to the scene of the alleged explosion but have found nothing so far, the paper reports, adding that it is unclear if there is any connection between the two incidents."

(insert pithy phrase here...)

I don't live in Southern California, and I can't control what the news reports. If it makes you and Halvard feel better about yourselves by denying what was actually reported in the first place, that says more about you than about me or Duffy.

Don't get down on yourself. Everyone strikes out once in a while. Take heart, you are still among the forum leaders in NOR/TS (number of replies per thread started).

Sorry, I assumed you and Duffy lived near each other as you appear to be on the same grumpy cycle.

I didn't deny anything. I simply quoted headlines that made no mention of an explosion and pointed out that the article linked made no mention of any explosion (other than fireworks). I asked you because you said there was an explosion mentioned in the title and I did not see that. Lighten up francis.

But now that we all know that there was a shooting at a soccer match and fireworks later nearby, what was the point of this thread? Subject: "attack in Sweden - - - gun shots then explosion." P1: A link to a story that makes no mention of any explosion other than fireworks (but I assume it did make such mention in earlier version). P2: Probably Rastafarians?

Rather sensational. Where was Duffy going? Did this start looking like another islamic terrorist attack? Violence at a soccer match and later fireworks aren't too noteworthy. I'm a huge fan of Duffy's threads -- I check them all (and all your excellent movie reviews) -- but I'm not getting this one.

"Oh, ok. But I just told you what I saw."

Civilize the mind, but make savage the body.

- Chinese proverb

The point of the thread was that, at the time the thread was actually posted, there were reports of both the shooting and an explosion. Those reports did not state that it was just fireworks, because that information was unknown at the time.


It's really not that difficult. At the time this thread was started, we didn't know it was just fireworks. The news reports stated that there was a reported explosion, and that police were investigating. It put both these items in the same news report, because clearly the media also thought that these might be two related events.

We have since received more information. That changes things, but you can't really go back and judge the opening posts of the thread based on information that wasn't available when they were written.

And Halvard could have simply said beyond this article I'm not hearing anything about it, so as far as I know, there hasn't been a major incident. But no, he had to do what he normally does, look like an ass.

Sorry, but check the forum rules, and I quote:


I started this thread being confused, then kidding you guys. Sorry if my manner was obtuse. Halvard on the other hand was just being Halvard as far as I can tell.

I think you mean bedder. Spiel bedder then yew.

Dang it! That would have been perfect considering his typo.

"Conclusion: no explosion in Malmo yesterday "

Yeah, but still four people shot, not to mention 70 car burnings in Malmo over the summer. Sweden's approach to mass immigration/integration from the middle east doesn't seem to be working out all the well for them.

Is that from the BBC?

If it wasn't reported by BBC it didn't happen.

For example, the top of my head did not get sunburned today. Really. No mention by BBC whatsoever.

But I did not know it was bad to know Swedish and to read Swedish sources when the question was about an event in Sweden.

Shut up, all of you.

Google translate is a piece of crap.

It's bad to be a pompous ass.

It's bad to post a link on a forum in a language that almost none of the members speak to prove that a news story isn't there.

You're either a stuck up prick or totally tone deaf.

Pick one.
