Masked youths went on the rampage in various Swedish cities on Monday evening, setting ablaze around 80 vehicles, according to police. Cars in parking lots were seen burning in dramatic footage taken in Gothenburg, Trollhättan, Lysekil and Falkenberg, as well as in Stockholm and Uppsala, where an additional 13 vehicles were attacked, according to the Expressen tabloid.
The series of arson attacks are believed to be linked, with Gothenburg police suggesting that the perpetrators, some of whom are identified as underage, used social media to coordinate the acts, spokesperson Ulla Brehm told SVT.
Moore died of an apparent seizure. Police are closely investigating the cause of death after former FBI Agent Robyn Gritz, a friend of Moore's, made inquiries with homicide detectives Monday afternoon in Prince Georges County, Maryland. Preliminary reports from police said the death was not the result of suicide.
Moore's body was found by employees at the Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Washington, D.C. East - in Capitol Heights, Maryland. The investigation is ongoing. An autopsy had not been scheduled as of late Monday.
Moore, an advocate who investigated abused and trafficked children, had been in the process of investigating allegations by a 26-year-old man that - as a young boy - he was sexually assaulted by Bill Clinton and pimped out at private sex parties attended by other D.C. elites.

The head of the UN Monitoring Mission, Fiona Frazer, has claimed that, in addition to other important information, the report contains evidence that three Ukrainian soldiers captured by the DPR militia were killed, at least four wounded Ukrainian soldiers died as a result of inadequate medical care, and on August 31 and September 1 [2014], around 300 captured Ukrainian soldiers and volunteers were taken to three different places of detention where "the conditions of detention were inhumane and degrading."
The UN report concluded that violations of human rights and the rights of prisoners of war were committed by both sides of the conflict. And yet the report shows that it was the Ukrainian military that was responsible for war crimes against civilians. The head of the UN mission criticized Kiev:
"We welcome the investigation of Ukraine's General Prosecutor's Office on the cases of tortures and ill-treatment towards the Ukrainian military by the armed groups, yet the majority of human rights violations, supposedly committed by the Ukrainian forces against the civilians, is not being investigated."According to Frazer, to date the mission has 13 documented cases of people tortured or mistreated by Ukrainian battalions in Ilovaysk and surrounding villages, but these have not been investigated. In terms of other documentation, at least 35 civilians were killed and 600 houses destroyed.

According to provisional data from metals consultancy GFMS, India's gold purchases in July soared by 44.2 percent to 75 tons against the same period a year ago. The upsurge may bolster global prices, which plunged to a 17-month low earlier this week.
In what can be referred to as the biggest 'WTF' moment of the week, following a hearing on Monday, Taos District Court Judge Sarah Backus released all five defendants charged with abusing 11 children at a compound near Amalia, New Mexico.
To those who may not be familiar, the five accused suspects - Siraj Ibn Wahhaj, 40, Lucas Morton, 40, Jany Leveille, 35, Hujrah Wahhaj, 37, and Subhannah Wahhaj, 35 - were found on a decrepit compound last week with 11 malnourished children dressed in rags. All of the children were emaciated and there was very little food found on the property.
The FBI also discovered the remains of another child who was also found on the compound. On top of the severe child abuse discovered at the site, the FBI found evidence that the group was training to carry out acts of terror-specifically school shootings-inside the US.
According to one of the children who is cooperating with authorities - which caused the state to file a motion to hold the suspects without bond - was the fact that they were being trained to carry out school shootings.
Comment: If the reason the judge is releasing the suspects is because of the defense's argument, the judge must have a few screws loose. The suspects race and religion is irrelevant in light of what they are actually accused of doing. "Discrimination" is not a get-out-jail-free card for criminals, or at least it shouldn't be. But in a hystericized society, buzz words and virtue signalling are more important than an accurate assessment of people's character.

The Ottawa Islamic Centre and Assalam Mosque, which is one of the biggest mosques in the Canadian capital, had its charitable status revoked in July, after officials from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) expressed concerns in a report over dodgy financing and a roster of guest speakers who seemed to "promote hate and intolerance."
"Many of the views expressed by the organization's speakers are misogynistic, homophobic, racist and/or promote violence," the CRA Charities Branch wrote in a letter sent to the mosque president and obtained by the Global Times.
Writing on Facebook, Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini said his team are monitoring the situation and paid tribute to "200 Firemen (and all the other heroes) who are already working to save lives."
A witness told Sky Italia that he saw "eight or nine" vehicles on the bridge when it collapsed.
