36. The school attack
On 22 October 2015, 21-year-old Anton Lundin Pettersson entered the Kronan School in the town of Trollhättan, armed with a huge sword. His mission was to kill, but some students thought he was pranking, I guess the situation was so unreal. We don’t really have school shootings here in Sweden, I guess because it’s much more difficult for a Swedish teenager to get a hold of a gun. But that doesn’t mean we don’t have frustrated teenagers. And even if you are armed with a sword, the damage you can cause is horrible.

32. Nora and the Police chief
A 17-year-old girl enters a hotel room with a 61-year-old man. She has agreed to have sex with him for money, one of her many ways of self-harming. The man who seemed nice and normal over the phone when they arranged the meeting changes his behavior as soon as the door is closed behind them. He ties her up and rapes her in the most brutal way. Before she leaves the hotel room, bleeding, scared and hurt she grabs a towel that the man used after he raped her. She has also memorized his license plate. Despite this it’s going to take almost three years until he is caught. But it turns out he isn’t named Peter as she thought, and he doesn’t work in IT as he said. He is a high Police chief – known to the public for his work in women’s rights and equality between gender.
