Swedes put some ‘Adidas knights’ in their place

Two Arabs, known as “Adidas knights” in Swedish slang, were beaten down and the third became so frightened that he fell backwards.

Andreas says that he had been out partying with two friends. “We had had a few beers and talked shit. It was a good atmosphere and a nice evening.”

Suddenly, they collided with a nasty gang of immigrants in the subway. As usual, the immigrants chose to harass only one of the Swedes who they had thought was alone. What they did not know was that he had two friends with him.

“We’re going on to an after-party and went down to the subway. One polar bear [Swedish slang for a white Swede] walked a little further on while talking on the phone, so it did not seem like he was in the same group as me and my other polar bear.

“Suddenly I see a bunch of Adidas knights [Arab immigrants from the suburbs, ed.] slither up behind my friend. They go after him, and you immediately see that they are out to make trouble. They stop him and start saying that he has looked at their bride, which of course was not the case. They behaved as if they owned the city.

“We all fought back. None of the polars [polar bears] had been beaten before, but it was the Vikings within us that came forward! The Adidas knights had not expected us to counterattack,” explained Andreas.

Andreas said that he then decided not to back down. “I got pissed off and thought ‘fucking muppets trying to do this and they can’t behave’.”

When the Swede and his friend walked up to the surrounded third friend, the immigrants started demanding that the Swedes apologize to them – something the three Swedish friends refused to do.

“We said clearly that we did not want trouble, but that we did not intend to apologize. I did not let myself be intimidated: “What do you not understand?” The Arabs kept insisting and the atmosphere became even more aggressive. “Ehh… what did you say?” said one of them, whereupon the Swede suddenly felt two fist blows to the face.

“I was lights-out but came round quickly. Then I saw two of the immigrants lying on the ground.” His friends had decided to strike back after he was knocked out, something which the Arabs had not counted on.

Andreas, in anger, then walked up to the instigator: “He was the one who had been egging them on. He looked a little insecure. I walked towards him and screamed. He got so scared that he backed away without looking around, and fell against a bench.”

According to Andreas, his two friends had never been in a fight before. The incident was never reported to the police.

“No report was made by us and I have a very hard time believing that they did something about it. The reason why we did not report the incident was partly because we felt that we had put them in their place, and partly because none of us are eager to get involved in any legal process. We were in good spirits and went on to the party.”

Andreas [not his real name, ed.] has shown the reporter a photo of his injuries: A swelling and redness on his face from the immigrants’ blows.
