The A$AP Rocky business has provoked a lot of criticism from the USA, who have expressed shock at the Swedish justice system, judged by US standards. It does not look good by British standards, either. Swedish justice is on trial in front of the world.
The video material which has been published shows that there was harassment by the Afghan youths; however,
since they ended up in hospital, it looks as if excessive force was
used. We also do not know how the fight began, or the background to the whole incident. It seems improbable that the performer would have initiated the trouble.
The Afghan youths should also be charged, since they are possibly guilty of a criminal act. If, as seems to be the case, the incident was the result of a provocation, then anything more
than a suspended sentence gives the wrong message to people like these
youths who go about harassing the public. I have experienced the same
thing myself in Gothenburg.
The Afghan youths are probably not refugees and could be in the
country illegally. This also needs to be investigated. If they are not illegal immigrants I would frankly be surprised.
Few of the Afghans are in the country legally as refugees. If they are not, and do not have permission to be in the country, they
should be deported.
