And this was Zürich! | | | | | And how is a one time event like this anarchist demonstration late evening going out of hand relevant to structural problems?
For the rest you can do with semantics as you please, we all know that no-go zones as used in Europe do exist in Sweden, and it just means that police lost control on preventing and controlling crime in such parts and that they do hardly to no patrols in there, but they do respond to calls in such area. And such is what we mean with no go areas in this context. | Quote: |  | | | You will never see a policeman alone at night in the Langstrasse area of Zürich either. | | | | | Just admit that you haven't been there for years at night.

Just admit that you haven't been there for years at night. | | | | | So you want to redefine problem zones as no go zones even though the police do go there?
Then how do you define areas where the police really do not go?
no no go zones?

| | Re: What's Happening to Sweden? | Quote: |  | | | A few years ago, as part of the reorganisation of the Swedish police force, the national operations department NOA collated a report in which local police identified over 50 "vulnerable areas," which needed more attention from the police. And just over a year ago, 15 of these areas were identified as "particularly vulnerable." Another handful were deemed to be in the "risk zone."
The police do not use the term 'no-go zones,' but Gudmundson argued it was a good way to describe a place where, quoting the report, "the public in several instances feel that it is the criminals who run the areas" and where "police cannot carry out their job.
For me it is more like 'go-go zones', it is where we work," he said. | | | | | https://sverigesradio.se/sida/artike...rtikel=6630452
It's all semantics, and political posturing. If you are Left you call them "vunerable areas", if you are Center, you call them "high risk areas", if you are Right, you call them "no-go zones". Whatever, it's the same thing, it's an area that has a high crime rate and police may not be in full control of the area.

Redefining no-go zones as places where police actually do go is semantics, I agree.
How this redefinition helps I do not know other than to encourage people to frighten themselves with nonsensical definitions.

Well, exactly like in the USA.. | | | | | I am not clear what point you are trying to make.
Every city has ghettos!
Or to put it another way, every city has rich and poor people and both groups tend to group together and live in a common area be it Beverley Hills or a French Banlieu.
A ghetto is a part of a city in which members of a minority group live, typically as a result of social, legal, or economic pressure.
The term was originally used in Venice in the year 1516 to describe the part of the city to which Jews were restricted and segregated.
So it is not like ghettos are new phenomena and the term is not linked to any particular group other than "the poor".
Various Communist states have tried eliminate the difference between rich and poor to create a single class and prevent ghettoisation but such attempts failed; basically because there is not enough "to go around".

The ghettos are inevitable. Estonia has received a few hundred "quota refugees" in the past couple of years, and over half of them have already left. When they asked the ones still there why they don't like it there, almost all say that they want to go to Germany to live in a big city together with other Africans/Arabs. Hardly anyone wants to actually integrate, learn the language and live among the locals. Nobody is "forcing" them into ghettos, they build them themselves, they feel more comfortable among their own people.
The once they have formed their own "communities" (ie: ghettos, parallel-societies, etc.), they will start to complain that they are not treated equally as locals, can't get good jobs, etc.. Instead of seeing that they haven't bothered to integrate, learn the language, get an education, etc. they will just cry "racism" and the loony-Left will come out to support them, and that's how cities like Malmö are built.
To Germany's credit, they already realize all this, and are doing their best to distribute refugees spread throughout the country as best as possible, to avoid them all moving into the same city and forming ghettos, but really, in the end it will happen anyway one way or another, because that's what they want.

I don't want to be politically correct, I want to be fair. First of all, they didn't come for and to Estonia. They probably couldn't put it on a map before coming to Europe. When they are distributed, or forced to find temporary refuge in some Eastern European countries, they do it with the intention of getting out of there with the first favourable occasion. Economic or financial reasons, first of all - I suspect. Language issues, more opportunities elsewhere even if these are just theoretical, or projections. Being more welcomed in the West, as the society is more diverse in the sense that there are already older groups of immigrants from their original countries. Who won't be particularly thrilled to integrate new groups, but that's another story, let's not get immigration realities stay in the way of the good cultural marxism.
Secondly, they are not a homogenous group of people, despite of what identity politics activists try to force down on our throat. An Iranian won't be particularly thrilled to live next to a Turk, or to an Arab, who in turn won't be particularly thrilled to live next to the Christians, or Yaziddis, or who knows who else....and so on and so further. These ghettos are formed simply because, mostly due to economic reasons, many people are forced to cram together.

Do you have a source or experience to support this?
My experience (which is , of course, limited) is that once people have travelled to another country and live there then they are much more open to have friendships and contacts with others and lose a lot of their home country prejudices.
I mean look at EF as an example, there are many people here from different backgrounds but all are equally heard?

Either you are a refugee - then you'll be happy for a roof above your head, a warm bed to sleep in, safety of not getting shot, and meals.
Or you're an economic migrant, someone who wants to leech systems that they've never contributed to, and take advantage of hard work of others..

I am sorry marton, I can't go on and on with you. Is there a particular benefit of having yet another poor strata in a country? Locals don't suffice anymore?
I'm kidding, everyone is welcomed as far as I'm concerned, but then people should not complain anymore. Yes, there will be ghettos as they always were.

I imagine some (not all - let's not make any sweeping statements here) are wanting to work and get some traction going on their new lives but are having to "leach" off the system because they aren't allowed to work.

No Sandgrounder, unfortunately Europe is not the home for the rest of the world nor can it accept everyone who wants to work and carve out a living for themselves and their families.

You see Sweden is not listed  | | | | | Just stop with your irrelevant links and widening discussions in an attempt to find somewhere something that in your opinion helps to prove you are correct.
Your definition of a no-go area is one where the police does not go, you support this in your opinion by coming up with examples and even state yourself that the police does go to one of them, and we all know that the police also appears in the favela's. But we are not allowed to say no-go area due to the police going there.
Make up your mind.
PS:
Oxford dictionary: | Quote: |  | | | An area that is dangerous or impossible to enter or to which entry is restricted or forbidden. | | | | | Collins Dictionary: | Quote: |  | | | If you refer to a place as a no-go area, you mean that it has a reputation for violence and crime which makes people frightened to go there. | | | | | So stop your whole ridiculous point of that people are only allowed to use no-go area in the exact same meaning as you hold on to, the meaning has been widely used for these areas for at least decades and you are not going to change this.
