    thank you for posting this with the details, i’d seen this photograph a few times before, but never knew the specifics!

    according to the wikipedia page, it sounds like the neo-nazis got a fairly icy reception in general 🤘

    Another photograph taken by Runesson during the event shows the 10 Neo-Nazis being chased, pelted with eggs and violently confronted by a crowd made up of hundreds of attendants of the left-wing rally joined by local Växjö residents. One of the Neo-Nazis was kicked unconscious on the ground, then saved by one of the protestors who reportedly took pity on him. The far-right activists eventually managed to shelter in the toilets of the city’s train station, hiding there for a few hours until the police transported them away.

    The two in the back, outraged and ready to beat up the lady are funny to me. Like “how dare she do to us what we do to others” :O

    The nazi in the foto was a member of a party of which another member went to become a party leader of another, then very openly, nazi party, Sweden Democrats (SD). He was replaced in 1995 (left in 1994). The current head of SD joined in 1994. SD is what the current Swedish government collaborates with.

    Not all heroes wear capes. This one carries a handbag. Thank you, worthy lady, for your service for humanity.
