Self Defense in Sweden

U.S. rapper A$AP Rocky is seen in a video posted on July 2, 2019 to his Instagram account, showing an apparent encounter between his entourage and a couple young men in Stockholm, Sweden, which led to the arrest of himself and three others. A Swedish Prosecution Office spokesman said the artist was arrested for suspected “gross assault,” but would not provide any further details.

“So a few drug addicts are not my fans,” he said on his Instagram account. “We don’t know these guys and we didn’t want trouble, they followed us for 4 blocks, and they were slapping girls butts who passed, give me a break.” A female, not seen in the video, can be heard telling the rapper that one of the other young men, “slapped my ass and my girlfriend’s ass.”

Another video surfaced soon after online which appears to show punches being thrown by members of A$AP Rocky’s entourage at the two other men, one of whom ends up on the ground taking punches from at least three people. After watching the videos from the beginning, it can be concluded that this man got what he deserved. A$AP Rocky had every right to defend himself and his friends.

Still in an Initial Stage

The New York City native and rapper, born Rakim Mayers, who is also a music producer and model, was arrested on Tuesday after he performed at the Smash hip hop festival in Stockholm, Sweden. A statement provided by the prosecutor’s office on Wednesday said only that the investigation was still in “an initial stage” and thus no information about any evidence would be given.

Lawmakers are also worried that the prosecutor has already made his decision.

As A$AP Rocky sits in a dark cell with in-humane conditions in the most liberal nation in Europe, Sweden has gagged its own people on migrant attacks. This is not a Swedish conspiracy but a fact to hide the truth about the refugee influx. You can clearly see in the videos that the attackers were migrants. There are no go zones in this nation where the police won’t even go due to the high danger and high number of migrants. This gives these migrants a false sense of entitlement. Just look at the homeless in areas like California where they blatantly disregard the laws because they know the system is overwhelmed.

Religious Radicalization

An update on previous report from 2015 named 61 places with low socio-economic status where criminality has a significant effect on the community, The Local reported. Those living in these places are often also vulnerable to religious radicalization. Police refer to these as “vulnerable areas.” In the past, the Swedish right-wing press have referred to them as “no-go zones,” but the police have repeatedly rejected the term.

Police believe 5,000 criminals and 200 criminal networks are based across the 61 areas, yet they want to reject the term used for places they obviously don’t want to go themselves. The concept of “no-go zones” in Scandinavian countries has become popular with members of the American alt-right movement.

No Justice for A$AP

The man who attacked A$AP Rocky‘s crew will NOT be prosecuted for any crime, despite the fact that he incited the violence and persisted in harassing the rapper before A$AP finally snapped. Swedish prosecutors said they believe the guy who harassed Rocky attacked his bodyguard in self-defense, after being pushed and lifted by his neck. The initial video does not show anyone getting physical with the guy, but prosecutors have drawn that conclusion. These prosecutors must have an alternative agenda using A$AP Rocky as an example.

TMZ first reported on July 18th that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Lobbied Trump in A$AP Rocky’s Case. It makes sense that Kim would want to get involved due to her criminal justice reform efforts. The First Step Act was passed in 2018 and took aim at the harsh crime stance of the 1980s and 90s, which added to a bloated prison system by instituting mandatory minimum sentences for drug and other nonviolent offenses. This week 3000 prisoners are set to be released from American prison if they qualify for non-violent drug related offenses due to her relentless persistence to help with their reform.

Thank You President Trump

Later in the day Kim Kardashian West responded to the TMZ report by tweeting this:

Thank you @realDonaldTrump , @SecPompeo, Jared Kushner & everyone involved with the efforts to Free ASAP Rocky & his two friends. Your commitment to justice reform is so appreciated 🙏🏼🤞🏼 https://t.co/Ym1Rzo5Z6c — Kim Kardashian West (@KimKardashian) July 18, 2019

You may not like Kim Kardashian West but you have to admit she has the same kind of tenacity as President Trump. She has a comfy life, full of family and fortune. She doesn’t need to fight for justice for people that most have called criminals and turned their back on. It is commendable.

On July 19th, the next day, President Trump tweeted out:

Just spoke to @KanyeWest about his friend A$AP Rocky’s incarceration. I will be calling the very talented Prime Minister of Sweden to see what we can do about helping A$AP Rocky. So many people would like to see this quickly resolved! — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 19, 2019

Then on July 20 President Trump tweeted again:

Just had a very good call with @SwedishPM Stefan Löfven who assured me that American citizen A$AP Rocky will be treated fairly. Likewise, I assured him that A$AP was not a flight risk and offered to personally vouch for his bail, or an alternative…. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 20, 2019

A group of lawmakers demanded Rocky’s release in a news conference this week, amid the reports of “inhumane conditions.”



Congressmen Call for A$AP Rocky’s Release

Reps. Adriano Espaillat (D-N.Y.), Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.), André Carson (D-Ind.) and Joaquin Castro (D-Tex.) again demanded the rapper’s release Thursday in a statement ahead of Rocky’s pretrial hearing. “We remain deeply concerned about the detainment of Rakim Mayers, also known as A$AP Rocky, and his two companions David Rispers Jr., and Bladimir Corniel. All three of these gentlemen are not only American citizens, they are young men of color,” the congressmen said.

“The widely circulated video evidence clearly show that these men were accosted, harassed, and followed, all while maintaining tremendous poise,” the statement continues. “Even after they were initially attacked, they made verifiable efforts to remove themselves from the situation. Unfortunately, it escalated to the point where they were forced to defend themselves.”

A Deliberate and Premeditated Attempt to Indict

In a call with reporters Friday, Espaillat — whose district includes Rocky’s native Harlem — called the court’s decision “disturbing.” He said he and other lawmakers are also worried that the prosecutor has already made his decision. “We’re concerned that there is a deliberate and premeditated attempt from the prosecutor to indict these young men, who were victims themselves, not the aggressors,” he said.

Young Americans beware. It is easy to be swept away by the liberal media and the false sense of empowerment they advertise through socialism. A$AP Rocky unjustly locked up in a foreign country for protecting himself should send up red flags. They want your power. They want you to be asleep.

Do not fall prey to liberal Socialists and their globalist state agenda. When you don’t think for yourself and mindlessly follow mainstream media, you become one of the sleeping sheep quick to throw away your rights. Walk away before it’s too late. Read between the lines, do your own research, and question everything.
