Shocking to me is not, that the fascist goons are attacking people as
they see fit, but much more that organisations led and followed by
people who are known and previous convicted violent assaulters without
any police* nearby in the center of the Finnish capital, while another
fascist demonstration is protected by riot police persoNnel of whom some
have been seen applauding the racist hate speeches in a part of
Helsinki
that is mostly inhabited by immigrants and that had a counter
demonstration announced. To me this is a clear statement by the
government pro the far right european trend.
Published 17.09.2016. We update the article as we get more info about the events.
According to still not fully confirmed information the Nazist Finnish
Resistance Movement (Suomen Vastarintaliike, SVL) killed a bypasser
during their street event on the 10th of September, near Helsinki
Railway Station. The next day SVL published on their website a picture
and a video featuring the person they assaulted, along with a text
glorifying their violence. According to the victim’s family, the young
man that SVL assaulted died in hospital last night, September 16th at 10
PM, from the serious injuries he received. Anti-fascist network Varis
takes part in the grief of his family and friends.
Helsingin uutiset
news media writes that Helsinki Police “confirms that a case of assault
was registered at the Station square on Saturday 10th of September, and
that a death is connected to it”. Although a crime report and witness
accounts were delivered already the day following the assault which led
to the fatality, police does not yet comment on whether there was a
cause-effect connection. The victim’s father, interviewed by tabloid Ilta-Sanomat,
says that “his son was knocked to the ground with the result that he
hit his head on the pavement and lost consciousness. He was taken to
Töölö hospital. On Thursday he was sent home with doctor’s permission.
He didn’t remember anything about the event, but his friends told me.
Yesterday on Friday, he had a brain hemorrhage at home. He barely had
time to call the emergency number before he lost consciousness. He died
there [in hospital] at 10 PM. I managed to visit him in the hospital, he
was in respirator”.
The deceased’s family tells that the assaulted person succumbed to brain trauma. “My
dear son Jimi Joonas Karttunen was assaulted on Saturday 10th of
September, 13.00 o’clock at Eliel square (Helsinki) by Finnish
Resistance movement in an event they had. The nazi-skinheads assaulted
my son causing him a serious brain trauma. Because of this totally
futile violent attack my son Jimi Joonas passed away yesterday 16th of
September around 22.00 o’clock in Meilahti hospital. May his soul rest
in peace! The criminal police is aware of the episode.”
According to the father, the victim had walked by the SVL’s street
event, and told the Nazis what he thought about their far-right
politics, for which he was beaten up with fateful consequences. In SVL’s
own version, the bypasser had recognized the organization’s flag and
started “behaving aggressively”. SVL published on their website a
picture where the victim of the violence lies on the ground next to a
splatter of blood, and commented on it as “a swift restoration of
discipline” to a bypasser of different political opinion. SVL has also
in the past assaulted random passers-by during their street events, for
example in Myyrmäki, Vantaa (suburb of Helsinki), and in Jyväskylä.
SVL uses this as a way to build an image of themselves as a violent
paramilitary group, in order to attract violent young men to join in
their activities.

Lastly, I’ve been exploring some of the output of a “Finnish death dub
technician” (hell, if one of the upsides to be being an artist is that
you get to write your own job-title, then why not make it sound totally
awesome) named Grmmsk. It’s plenty startling. I think there’s real fear here, although I’m not certain of what
exactly: the ever-present fear of mortality just given a new
articulation, or a newer fear of collapse (twelve years since the
endless war began, five years since the economy exploded, and only a
generation until human society itself melts down across the entire face
of the globe). Whatever eschaton is being invoked, this is the sound of
that rough beast slouching towards its incarnation. (https://rinsingthis.blogspot.fi/2014/01/our-doom.html)
