The neo-Nazi gathering, organized by the Nordic Resistance Movement (Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen, NMR), took place Saturday afternoon. NMR members carried banners and distributed leaflets during the city center event.
The group, which was registered as a political party in Sweden in 2015, posted several images of Saturday's demonstration on its Twitter account.
Comment: It's easy to suspect that the false alarm was put out purposely as an experiment. It boggles the mind that it took so long for the alert to be corrected. Yet, there's a lot to be said about the nature of human error, which can be just as unsettling to face as more sinister intentions. Given the timeline described above, it sounds fairly plausible that human error could very well have been the culprit in this fiasco. This certainly doesn't lend much credibility to the concept of our so-called 'advanced civilization'.
