Graphic Video: Swedish Tourists on Hunting Trip Are ‘Savagely’ Beaten in Tunisia

A group of Swedish tourists who were visiting Tunisia on a hunting trip were dragged from their taxis Sunday and mercilessly beaten by local residents who claimed they were “foreign terrorists,” the hunters said.

“We arrived about 10 days ago in Tunisia to hunt boars,” Ove Obergo told reporters in the group’s central Tunis hotel. “We boarded three taxes to go to the airport and while we were on our way we were stopped at a checkpoint.”

Security in Tunisia’s capital city is on high-alert as deadly riots have escalated in recent days.

“They searched the vehicles. They found our rifles and everything degenerated. They dragged us out of the cars, treated us like foreign terrorists. We were kicked and beaten,” Obergo said, recounting how he and five others in his group received bloodied faces and bruises.

(Warning: video contains violence.  Viewer discretion is advised.)

“The police arrived. We showed our permits and we could explain to them. The police helped us get out of the situation. The only thing we want now is to go home,” he said.

According to the Associated Foreign Press, the incident took place near the headquarters of the main opposition party where a gunfight broke out around the time of the Swedes’ arrests.

      This fellow went to the doctor and the doctor told him he had only 6 months to live. He said,” Doc, is there anything I can do?” the doctor told him to move to Arkansas, marry a fat girl and move into a trailer. The man asked the doctor, “Will that help me live longer? And the doctor said, “No…but it will seem like it.”…(with apologies to fat girls and Arkansawyers. )

      Actually, TIMEJ31 – the real reason you won‘t visit us is because snobs like you don’t feel welcome here when you bring your Progressive baggage! That’s great! – DON’T COME!

      It‘s nice to know that you won’t be asking for any financial help from our “3rd-world” flyover states to bail your sorry bi-coastal hineys out of all the insane debts you’ve piled up while re-electing the same liberal scum to be your governors.

      We’d love nothing better than to build a fence around all your blue counties that comprise your urban centers and require you idiots to deal with your own problems! If too many of you liberals escape from your self-inflicted ‘namby-pamby land’, you’ll just attempt to undermine our conservative ideas and ruin things for the locals.

      If you change your mind and come for a visit, please be sure to wear all your bling and drive your expensive foreign car so we’ll recognize you – We wouldn’t want to make you feel welcome… unless you’re here to apply for a job as a rat in one of our laboratories…

      We’re finding that Progressives make wonderful substitutes for lab-rats because 1) there’s a lot more of them, 2) our lab assistants don’t become nearly as attached to them, 3) they’re easily fooled, and 4) there‘s some things that rats just won’t do!

    Once the civilized nations understand once again (because they have forgotten) that people self segrated over the centurys and millenia for self preservation among their own tribes then they will begin to embrace this idea once again for their own survival. They were dragged out of their car for some vigilant street justice and subjugated by this mob for one reason. They did not look like them!

    What would happen if an angry mob of white males in Alabama dragged several male Muslim men from their taxi and beat them, tore through their luggage, photographed as if this was all perfectly legal? Mayhem in the streets thats what would have happened. Only Whites are being treated this way around the world, they are being cornered and beaten, raped, robbed and murdered. If your still an idealist of old and believe you can go anywhere you wish being White, you’d best be advised to take note from the young innocent (defenseless) White women who were interviewed recently regarding their collective experiences in the Peace Corps. What struck me the most is how we are viewed around the world. The one girl who on the very first day with the Peace Corps was acosted by several males and then gang raped by the same mob during that same week in Bangaldesh. They called her a White American Whore, then ripped her clothes off and took turns raping her and placing foreign objects in her (her words). They see our women as whores because for so many years our own country men have displayed them to the world as such and seeing is believing. If the American government really wants to change our image around the world, they need to look no further than the studios in Southern California.

      Thank you Swedes for allowing Muslims to mass migrate to your country and in return we will allow you to tour our country and as a free parting gift a savage beating to remember what is soon coming to your country. Just remember to tell all your friends and family about the love and peace you experienced.

      Just turn any country like this one into a sheet of glass. I’m tired of the PC mentality and it must stop if America is to survive.

      Foolish for westerners to vacation in ISLAMO-STAN. Next time…think about coming to America for a hunting trip!
