Not only 60 Mintes.
Scroll down and watch the video.
Surely there are families with children and old people, but what I am wondering about is why there always are a majority of young, helthy men? Should they not be back homr, fighting for their land?
They come to peaceful countries and then abuse the hospitality that is extended to them. Selfish, greedy and demanding creatures that make it hard for genuine refugees.

Yep, i watched it.
Loved the old guy on the mobie scooter. Hope he wasnt attacked after though.
Very interesting read on the 60 min fb page on this story. Many Swedish residents on their saying that their country is now lost and they fear for their safety everytime they leave the house. They are the people living through this mass immigration/ invasion

Yes, frightening, but the problem you do not really know if the film crew did or did not provoke the people. It is not unheard of that film crews create situation; they cannot sit around for days waiting for something to happen. Remember when film crew claimed they are on Majorca somewhere near villa that Christopher Skase was hiding and saying they are being chased by the police, and roads were being blocked so they cannot get to the airport and they fear for their lives? LOL The footage was shot in Spain and the road closures were because of major sporting event.
The thing is nobody gives a damn about the people running from ISIS and bombs, or about their neighbors who have laterally millions refugees. Europe is complaining, but we do not hear too much about Greece, Turkey and Lebanon who bear the brunt of this disaster, and have been dealing with it for many years, to some extent from the 2nd gulf war.

"55 declared no go zones in sweden;
police have to escort ambulances to
ensure their safety"
"too many migrants of the wrong kind"
no wonder EU are closing borders.
The European Union sealed a controversial deal with Turkey on Friday intended to halt illegal migration flows to Europe in return for financial and political rewards for Ankara.
The accord aims to close the main route by which a million migrants and refugees poured across the Aegean Sea to Greece in the last year before marching north to Germany and Sweden.
But deep doubts remain about whether it is legal or workable, a point acknowledged even by German Chancellor Angela Merkel who has been the key driving force behind the agreement.
"I have no illusions that what we agreed today will be accompanied by further setbacks. There are big legal challenges that we must now overcome," Merkel said after the 28 EU leaders concluded the deal with Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu.
"But I think we've reached an agreement that has an irreversible momentum," Merkel said, adding it showed that the EU was still capable of taking difficult decisions and managing complex crises.

it could be a case of the greeks
being used to it.
People swim. They lounge on the beach. They shower with their tops off. They paddle about in the sea. They watch other people doing the same thing. Jörg Brüggemann’s series of photographs from the Greek island of Kos is titled Tourists V Refugees, but in most of the images it’s difficult to tell the difference.
The paddlers could be holidaymakers – or they might be Syrians coming from Turkey. The ferry might hold tourists or, as is actually the case, hundreds of refugees waiting for their paperwork to be processed so they can proceed to mainland Greece. A submerged dinghy might belong to kids on their summer break.
But what if it was steered all the way from Bodrum by Iraqis? Similarly, the lifejackets that appear, discarded, in many of the pictures – it’s likely they each saved a refugee’s life as he or she made the night-time journey from the Turkish coast. But it’s just as plausible that they simply fell off a jetski.
