US journalists Tim Pool and Emily Molli accepted an invite by a right-wing news editor to visit and investigate “crime-ridden migrant suburbs” in Sweden. They first visited Malmo where they interviewed locals and were given a guided tour by municipal council member Nils Karlsson. But upon visiting the Rinkeby area of Stockholm, Pool claimed they were escorted out by police.
Molli claimed the pair asked the police if they could interview a local but were told it would lead to trouble. Pool tweeted this latest incident saying several men put on masks and followed them. Speaking to Swedish news site The Local, Pool said:
“We had noticed a bunch of people putting up their hoods, whispering to each other, so the cop was like ‘maybe it would be smart if you were to leave now, that’s my tip for you.”
The police escorted them out of the area. In a video, Pool said they were warned by the police that “it would get really dangerous if we don’t leave Rinkeby.”Only last week, Tim Pool in the Swedish Local reported:
“American journalist Tim Pool has spent two days seeing ‘dangerous’ Malmö with his own eyes.But the city did not live up to the bleak picture he had been told to expect. “If this is the worst Malmö has to offer, then don’t ever come to Chicago,” Pool told news agency TT after visiting Rosengård, a neighbourhood with a high immigrant population.”
One might assume Pool has since had a change of heart. has been in the news a lot lately. Rioting and looting erupted last month after police reportedly arrested a wanted person at a metro station. Several cars were burnt out and a police officer and a press photographer were injured during the disturbances.
Stockholm Police said they were unable to find any reports relating to the incident but would continue to investigate.
