Had some cars burning in Sweden a while ago in immigrant areas. Probably immigrants starting it but at some point they caught rightwingers torching cars in these areas and since then it has just stopped....

    What case are you referring to? Most people who torch cars (NB: as vandalism, not insurance fraud) don't get caught, and the few who have gotten convicted have had foreign background in the majority of cases. Young men from poor areas, often living in exclusion from the rest of society.

    It's awful that racists abuse stuff that maladjusted people do, but I don't really believe your story. I'm very active in these kinds of cases and haven't heard about it, so please let me know more about these right-wingers that got caught burning cars in orten.

    You are correct with those statements.

    I was refering to a video on instagram where two men approach one of the masked guys torching cars and confront him as he was a bit separated from the group of other young men and it turns out he is not a young immigrant, he manages to esccape with the rest of the guys. (I belive it was somewhere in Göteborg)

    I could not find the clip by searching but I remember this was just before the election 2018.Today I had a deep dive in my instagram messages as I had sent the video to a friend but the account with the video was no more on instagram thus without evidence I can not back up my claim and have to take it back.

    I only found this article of recent event but this is not the one I thoght of. Nor do I think this group represent right wing politics even if they have connection to it.
