The crowd was approaching the car to tell this gentleman that he shouldn't be driving like this. Instead he panics, over reacts and sends his car up the curb, where he almost strikes a mans family. This angers the man. Seeing John continuing driving like this sends the upset father in a frenzy. He over reacts by punching John, who in turn doesn't give any more thought to his driving and speeds off hitting a few people. I can make stories too! John and his mother was driving down the road, whilst discussion religion and how great jesus are, when all of a sudden they ended up in the middle of a large crowd of angry americans. John does not understand what their problem is, so he rolls down the window so he can sort out the problem. When he rolls down the window, an angry african american yells "Take this you motherfucker" and hits John on his nose so hard that it gets broken. John gets really scared and gets a bit over protective of his mother and hits reverse and tries to drive away to stop all the trouble. When he finaly gets out of the crowd he calls the cops and calmy tells them what happened. | ||

What was he doing at the school in order to be branded a terrorist anyways? They dont even elaborate on that, most likely becuase he deserved to be kicked out. | ||

I think apart from some people that just hate the us for no reason thats not the case. You dont seem to get it. Me, and obviously alot of other people, think your legal system is partly messed up. We really dont care if you post links of other legal systems being messed up, that doesnt change the fact that yours isnt perfect. Then again you really dont wanna quote examples, especially not the same one 3 times, your giving people way to much ammunition seeing as, for example, the examples for fked up legal cases in Sweden is gonna by be lower than the ones in the us.. | ||

On the other hand, I can imagine myself being a bad driver if I was in unfamiliar territory, such as Norway. The takeawy is to familiarize yourself before you go to a new place. Yes, it would indeed be intelligent to familiarize yourself before visiting unfamilar places. Funny tho, had you done what this guy allegedly did here worst you'd ever have gotten was MAYBE a ticket for reckless driving. Probably the police wouldn't even have been involved, and certainly not an armed SWAT-team. Interesting thing though, what the OP fails to mention (but is mentioned in the actual Norwegian newspaper article) is that this guy have been in some troubles before. Apparently he moved out of the country due to being violated as a child, apparently assulted in illinois in 2002, and he also was expelled from University of South Alabama for being a potential terrorist candidate. (No explanation is given.) Don't know exactly what to make of the story, but no matter what, he is being treated way too harsh as far as I'm concerned. Certainly what he did is being downplayed, but it's also pretty clear that the American justice system is completely crazed sometimes. (The whole jury system is retarded in my opinion.) As for the punishment, I doubt he will get 35 years in jail. In America, you are usually charged with a more serious crime, to give an incentive to plead to a lesser charge. Even the greater charge here seems to be 5 years. Thats why in the George Zimmerman case they charged him with 2nd degree murder. they hope he will plead guilty to manslaughter. They dont actually think he should be charged with murder. This proves retardedness I think. You really think this is a good idea? "Hey, if we charge this guy with something completely ludicrous, perhaps he will plead guilty to something kinda bad that he may or may not have done." I'm baffled completely. | ||

I need to see another source on the matter, until then I highly doubt he is the most unlucky person ever. What was he doing at the school in order to be branded a terrorist anyways? They dont even elaborate on that, most likely becuase he deserved to be kicked out. His "record" is having a parking ticket and a warning from the police for disturbance of public order. This was then used as plausible explanations for his terrorist plans to poison the drinking water in Mobile, Alabama, were he was currently studying a 4 year degree in bioengineering. Post 9/11 blues, for sure, all foreigners are potential terrorists. That particular case was taken to civil court, where he won against the University of South Alabama. Your reasoning is flawed. Your conclusions are wrong. Sit down, shut up. | ||

This isn't a problem with our legal system as much as it is a problem with power abuse from the US. I would wish the Swedish state (and the legal system) would have been strong enough to resist such diplomatic pressure, but that is obviously not the case. | ||

[...]and he also was expelled from University of South Alabama for being a potential terrorist candidate. (No explanation is given.) Now THAT sounds like a juicy story! Edit: nvm, explained above. Buzzkilling typical 9/11 fear mongering.  | ||
