About Sweden (Stockholm) yesterday.

Today the reminder sunk in, yesterday I felt numb before it and ended up writing a text about the first time - I was 12 on 9/11 2001 -  a text that I then kept unpublished. 

What: I read late last night about a truck driving into people on Drottninggatan (Queen's Street, main shopping street), Stockholm. 

I didn't feel like I usually do about such things. Was I numb?
No. I remember that I usually freeze in time a little just to remember and be awake about it when terrorism happens, because yes it was a terror attack.

9/11 2001 was for me a mixture of a fight against hormones and a try to grow up. But I still froze in time a little when the first tower fell...sorry, America, I shouldn't compare with me.

I'm not saying this time in Sweden they managed, but they did. The truck's driver was from Uzbekistan, they took him in late yesterday. 2010 a suicide bomber killed only himself because the home-made bomb didn't work. That was in December, this time they were in perfect timing again because alot of people was in movement.

The Radio and TV people keeps talking about it, so were not alone with what we maybe feel.

Someone wrote on a swedish forum that "Trump will always be right in what he says".

I feel I shouldn't argue with you, but I LOVE talking, so I'll let you know that the police found the guy and that there was a bomb in the truck that probably was supposed to blow up Åhléns or parts of Åhléns, the nationwide department store where he drove the truck through its entrance from the pedestrian street he was plowing through.

Ya I know, ONLY 4 people died and 15 got wounded, but if you wanna see crimes like you are talking about, you gotta go to Malmoe in the south. Police have had to toughen up down in Malmö because of gang related violence and attacks on police/rescuers/firemen.

Seems like bombs doesn't work in Sthlm anymore... A suicide bomber tried to kill people during people's christmas shopping in 2010, but ended up only killing himself with his homemade bomb containing screws and metal pieces.

It doesn't... It isn't me calling it a terror attack, I quoted what I read in the news - this person promotes or sympathizes with ISIS on his Facebook page, he's from Uzbekistan and had a bomb in a truck that he used to try and kill people with. His name was also known by the secret police. He's been used to perform organized Islamistic terror.
