   A few days ago I wrote about the Somali caught raping a woman’s   
   dead body in a Stockholm car park. The prosecutor’s office has   
   chosen not to try and have him deported. His final comment   
   reveals much about the mindset of our ruling class.   
      
   The accused man is a citizen of Somalia and came to Sweden in   
   2007. He has already managed to accumulate a long criminal   
   record while in his new homeland.   
      
   The first time the man was prosecuted for crimes in February   
   2008 when he was sentenced to probation and fined for drug   
   offences. He then continues to commit crimes more or less   
   continuously. The man’s criminal record shows that he has been   
   tried for over 40 crimes, including sexual assault, theft,   
   assault, and an impressive number of shoplifting and drug   
   offences.   
      
   But although the 34-year-old Somali national has a long criminal   
   career behind him, he will most likely not be deported, even if   
   he is convicted of the two rapes of helpless women he now stands   
   accused of.   
      
   Prosecutor Daniel Jonsson has chosen not to make any demand for   
   deportation.   
      
   “There is a rule that says if you have had permanent residence   
   for more than four years, it takes something very unusual in   
   order to expel anyone. I am of the opinion that the man has   
   lived here for so long and has had a residence permit for so   
   long that we cannot get him expelled,” says Daniel Jonsson to   
   Friatider.   
      
   According to Jonsson, it is futile to insist on the penalty in   
   the light of the law and practice in this area. He tells us that   
   the district court legally speaking, is at liberty to take the   
   expulsion matter to trial, even if there is a penalty claim in   
   the case. In practice, it is rare that courts will.   
      
   When Free Times asks if he, Jonsson, in light of the risk that   
   the 34-year-old will commit more rapes in Sweden, still does not   
   feel he has a responsibility to try and get the man deported, he   
   answers no.   
      
   “I do not understand why a Somali woman would be worth less than   
   a Swedish woman in this context. He would be as likely to commit   
   crimes there if he was deported.”
