Violent immigrant chaos in Gothenburg:BLM- riots against police
Published June 7, 2020, 16:45

Domestic. The "peaceful" BLM- demonstration in Gothenburg degenerated during the afternoon with immigrant mobs who attacked and threw stones at police.

Demonstration in Gothenburg today consisted of about 3,000 participants.

After 4 pm in the afternoon a violent group got together at Avenyn and began throwing stones at and fighting against police, according to Aftonbladet. Demonstrators are also reported to be fighting with each other.

According to the newspaper, violent demonstrators also broke a photographer's camera.

Police surrounded the area and riot police were deployed. The mob, however, did not disperse but stood eye to eye with the police. They then succeeded in pushing the police back amid great cheering.

Aftonbladet's reporter was forced to run from the scene after a firecracker was thrown at him.

Police picket buses appeared to flee around 5 pm where the mob threw stones against them and broke the windows.

Pictures from the scene show that a large part of the troublemakers are third world immigrants.

"These are youths from the suburbs who are taking advantage of the opportunity. And we have had this before, we have been well aware of the situation," says police press spokesperson Christer Fuxborg to Aftonbladet.

Several people went into the Arkaden shopping center and smashed windows of several shops there, according to Goteborgs-Posten.

Several people have been arrested, but it is as yet unclear how many.
