One of the tragedies that is being experienced with the influx of refugees is the blatant overshadowing that the crisis has done for the needy and destitute who are already native to the country.
One such case happened in Sweden when a military veteran was found frozen to death at a bus station in the town of Nynashamn.
Known only by the name, Sture, the Swedish veteran was homeless and doing whatever he could to keep warm in the sub-freezing temperatures. His death was reported in the Nynashamn Newspaper. It is believed that he had sought refuge from the freezing temperatures at the hospital, but had been removed from the warmth of the building when a security guard came on duty.
Sture then allegedly sought shelter in a nearby bathroom but was removed by illegal immigrants who were also staying warm inside.
As a last resort, Sture settled down on a bus stop bench outside the hospital where he attempted to unsuccessfully retain his body heat.
In the morning, his lifeless body was discovered by a security guard.
The tragedy has been further compounded by the Swedish government’s efforts to roll out the red carpet for Islamic refugees from the Middle East and Africa.
