A 16-year-old Swedish boy from Jönköping County has received a fine of 2,000 kronor to bring a joke on Facebook. The boy wrote:
"How do you kill 50 birds with one stone? You hit a Somali in the head with a spade." ("Hur dödar to 50 flugor in a Small? Beat one SOMALIA in Ansiktet with a spade.") District Court in Jönköping convicted the boy of agitation against ethnic group, and he has to pay 2000 SEK in daily fines. Source:Jönköpingsposten
