This is sweden. poverty means not affording a vacation trip. The government will give you someplace to live and enough money for food if you have none. If you spend this money on drugs and whatever sure you are most likely going to have to live on the street, but thats your problem.
but sure, if you dont know any swedish or english and cant read then you might get booted for not reading your rent slips, but these areas for mainly 2nd generation people causing problems. and if you fall in the above category you are basically a parasite since education is also free.
also, If parents were forced to pay for shit their kids did they would stop them from burning ppls cars. would work and be fairer than having everyone split the cost.

incidentally latest news is that the riots were apparently kicked off by the police killing a young immigrant girl, did anyone see anything about this? none of the papers i follow are covering it
not heard that. will investigate. but chance sof it being true is pretty much nothing or the papers would have gobbled it up like candy. The guessed reason is that some mentally ill guy was charging the cops with a machete and they had to shot him down after tryign to disarm him with a flashbang didnt work
