After Trump called attention to the rising tide of migrant crime in Sweden last week, independent journalist Tim Pool decided to head to Stockholm for a first-hand look at the “crime-ridden migrant suburb” of Rinkeby. Unfortunately, upon arrival Pool didn’t get to do much investigating before arousing the suspicion of a couple of masked men who proceeded to follow him through the streets eventually leading to his prompt police escort out of the city out of fear for his crew’s safety.
Pool sent out the following tweets about the incident saying that around 2:30 in the afternoon “several men started masking up” and following his crew which prompted the police to escort his team out of town with the warning that “it would get really dangerous if we don’t leave Rinkeby.”

Journalist Emily Molli, who is traveling with Pool, claimed the pair asked police if they could interview a local but were told it would just lead to trouble.
We asked an officer if he thought we could get an interview from a local, he advised it would probably start trouble. — Emily Molli (@MomesMolli) March 1, 2017
Wasn’t expecting such a quick reaction of masking up as soon as we got to the Rinkeby center. Camera was down at my side most of the time.

This latest incident follows rioting and looting that erupted in Rinkeby last month after police reportedly arrested a wanted person at a metro station. Several cars were burned out and a police officer and a press photographer were injured in the disturbances. Of course, as we noted last week, this ’60 Minutes’ crew got a similarly “warm welcome” from a couple of migrants when they visited Sweden on February 19th…
Irony at its finest: ’60 Minutes’ goes to Sweden to show how peaceful refugees are.. Entire crew gets assaulted by refugees!#SwedenIncident pic.twitter.com/7ZnCejuMFo — Tennessee (@TEN_GOP) February 19, 2017
Meanwhile, after being ridiculed by the mainstream media for his comments on migrant crime in Sweden, with each passing day, it’s looking increasingly like Trump was right once again…
Give the public a break – The FAKE NEWS media is trying to say that large scale immigration in Sweden is working out just beautifully. NOT!

No go areas for the authorities and anyone trying to investigate. Always a sign that something really serious is going on. Although in this case probably organized crime.
I guess the myth about a “safe” Sweden got busted after all by the very same journalist that had the task to disprove Trump’s very accurate allegations of a totally derailed and failed migration policies that this country has pursued for the past 25 years. I should know because i live here.
How naive, gullible and just downright stupid are the welcome policies of these countries? They have admitted thousands upon thousands of people into their countries, many without valid identification but but possessing an IPhone, that are only seeking the very generous social benefits. Sweden, Germany, Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France and others are committing social suicide. These people come from very poor, violent societies and just find their new homes to be, especially for the criminally minded, soft and cowardly paradises. I follow the news in Austria and Germany. The stories that are allowed to be published concerning migrant crime are just unbelievable – rape, assault, robbery, harassment, molestation, financial fraud and in some cases murder. Combine these crimes with extremely lenient punishment and you have social degeneration. The situation is a total shame.
You are so right.
