My little sister died of cancer 78 days ago and the grief stays away sometimes. < / p>

when Malmo is hit by the third blast in a few days, I am training and manage to relax for the first time in a long time. < / p>

it leads to me thinking intensely about my sister and the tears begin to flow in the training hall. < / p>

I don't feel stupid for such things anymore, and by the way, people mostly see themselves.  < / p>

so I go to the dressing room and change with my cheeks wet.

the colleagues at the editorial office tell us what is available in the app: < / p>

”at 19.52 on Wednesday, the police and emergency services received an alarm about a detonation at an address at Rosengard in Malmo."

just a few hours ago we published articles to try to explain the background to what happened then: a shooting, a bomb that never detonated and two explosions. In a week. < / p>

– we are working intensively to cool down the conflicts that exist in Malmo right now, police spokesman Nils Norling told our reporter Alexander Vickhoff. < / p>

now we can add another explosion to that enumeration. Of course, I am not now going to ironize over the success of the police for this ”intensive work”, it would be both tasteless and meaningless.  < / p>

nor note that the peace that stop shooting led to has ended. The project proclaimed as successful started in 2018 and led for a period to calm. Period. Which apparently is now over. < / p>

the course of a blast is fatal. Police officer Nils Norling talks about it also with Alexander Vickhoff. < / p>

as in the previous cases, Monday's blasting takes place in a residential building.  < / p> < p > a residential building. Where adults and children live. Where adults and children think they are home, free and safe. < / p > < p > the interview discusses the enormous risk and the total lack of control for the perpetrators who handle an explosive device of this kind. It is placed out and turned on. It takes about two minutes before it blows. < / p>

”during that time, the bomber has no way of controlling who gets in the way of the bomb. < / p >

you have no control over what happens. It's really sick, says Nils Norling."

in this profession, I have often spoken to relatives of victims of violent crimes. About the immense anger, powerlessness, and sorrow inflicted on another human with undue courage caused the death of the beloved person. It makes the grief worse, uglier, harder to get over.

< / p>

now the helicopter continues its turn over Malmo to monitor what is happening tonight. That's good. A disturbing sound, but safe.  < / p>

an adult and two children got stuck in the elevator when the stairwell flew in the air, I wonder how they are feeling right now. It is so completely callous and misdirected this deed, even with the logic of the criminal world. It's really fucking sick that a criminal conflict or power struggle can escalate to the level of blowing up residential buildings. < / p> < p > for these three blasts, no one injured or killed. It was pure luck. Not control or skill. But then, the time that everything goes wrong, and any passerby is injured. The person behind the attack that time. How does such a person live with himself? < / p> alarm about explosion at Rosengard in Malmo, third explosion since last Friday.
