The defendants believed that protecting the superiority of the white population justified the use of violence against perceived enemies including immigrants, ethnic and religious minorities, and anti-fascists, prosecutors said.
The men also plotted attacks on civilian infrastructure such as electricity grids and railways.
A police investigation showed that the defendants’ activity did not progress to the level of preparation for a concrete act of terrorism.
Uh, fucking 'scuse me?
Region Päijät-Häme, Tavastia by the lake Päijänne. In the article, however, they dropped the dots, resulting in Paijat-Hame… Meaning “shirts-skirt”. Thanks for the laugh.
Also race war? In Finland? They do realize there’s not that many people with foreign background anyways…? 🤨
Unfortunately that doesn’t keep fascist terrorists from murdering people. Breivik murdered 70 very much Norwegian teenagers because he blamed them for his insane replacement theory. That he apparently couldn’t find enough brown people in one spot, that he claimed to be replacing the Norwegian people didn’t get him to rethink his ideology.
That is also why it is so important to fight any form of discrimination and stand against all hate. Giving in to hate in one specific instance will inadvertly lead to more hate and violence for everyone.
