Not sure why the US State Department is so interested, or even Secretary of State Mike Pompeo had been briefed. Mind you, this rapper was maybe not treated as fairly and as good as those detainees VP Pence visited. "US State Department urges Sweden to treat arrested American rapper fairly ASAP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was arrested on July 2. The U.S. State Department is raising concerns about the arrest and detention of an American rapper in Sweden and is urging the Swedish government to treat him fairly, according to a statement shared exclusively with POLITICO. ASAP Rocky, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was arrested on July 2 after voluntarily going to the police in Stockholm for questioning about a street fight he was involved in. ... Rocky was initially held for four days in a facility that had “relatively fetid conditions” with a “terrible stench” that was “dirty, filthy and disgusting,” according to the person close to the rapper. He was later moved to a detention facility where the conditions are “markedly better.” ..." www.politico.eu/article/us-state-department-urges-sweden-to-treat-arrested-american-rapper-asap-rocky-fairly/

Never heard of him.
Why don't they arrest these people from the religion of peace who've made no go areas police are too scared to go into?
Guess I've answered my own question.

I wouldn't mind if they locked up all rappers and threw away the key.
And as for "a facility that had “relatively fetid conditions” with a “terrible stench” that was “dirty, filthy and disgusting”, if that's good enough for asylum seekers in the United States (who have committed no crime), it's good enough for a violent thug in Sweden.

There's hope, not sure why, but there's hope. Also not sure if all this is necessary, but then I'm obviously a barbarian because I don't like rap.

Newsflashy - newsflashy - newsflashy Just in! President Trump threatens Sweden if it doesn't release A$AP Rocky. Trump said he was “very disappointed” in Prime Minister Stefan Löfven for failing to intervene as the rapper was charged with assault. Also he reminded Sweden in a twit "Give A$AP Rocky his FREEDOM. We do so much for Sweden but it doesn’t seem to work the other way around. Sweden should focus on its real crime problem!" Unconfirmed rumours have it that USMC forces are redirected from going to some unspecified place near Iran to going to Sweden instead. PM Johnson issued a statement saying he's squarely behind Trump in this and deplores the brutality of the Swedes who no doubt are controlled by those Brussels Dictators. Whistling yours, tongue-in-cheeky "Trump demands Sweden ‘give A$AP Rocky his FREEDOM’ after rapper charged with assault Prime Minister Stefan Löfven says ‘everyone is equal before the law’ in his country. U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday ramped up his lobbying efforts to secure the release of American rapper A$AP Rocky from Swedish custody, saying he was “very disappointed” in Prime Minister Stefan Löfven for failing to intervene as the rapper was charged with assault. “Very disappointed in Prime Minister Stefan Löfven for being unable to act. Sweden has let our African American Community down in the United States. I watched the tapes of A$AP Rocky, and he was being followed and harassed by troublemakers,” the president wrote on Twitter, imploring Löfven to “treat Americans fairly!” In a second tweet, Trump was more blunt: “Give A$AP Rocky his FREEDOM. We do so much for Sweden but it doesn’t seem to work the other way around. Sweden should focus on its real crime problem!” Trump included the hashtag #FreeRocky at the end of both tweets. The rapper, whose real name is Rakim Mayers, was charged with assault on Thursday over a street fight, in a case that has drawn international attention. Rocky says that two men began following him and his entourage while he was in Stockholm for a music festival on the night of June 30, eventually leading to a fight. Footage obtained by TMZ shows the rapper throwing one of the men across the street, but he has released video showing his bodyguard telling the men to quit following them. Swedish prosecutors said on Thursday that Rocky’s actions still constituted a crime “despite claims of self-defense and provocation,” according to the Associated Press. The AP reports that Rocky and two other members of his entourage who were also arrested and charged would remain in custody until their trials." www.politico.eu/article/trump-demands-sweden-give-aap-rocky-his-freedom-after-rapper-charged-with-assault/

This wasn't a case of a little gentlemanly pugilism. The victim was, whilst down on the ground, beaten, kicked and cut with broken bottles. Mr. Rocky deserves to be behind bars for a long time. Unfortunately, with Swedish justice, that's unlikely to happen.
I wonder if Trump's attitude would have been different if the victim hadn't been a Moslem - though isn't this a case of Moslem-on-Moslem violence? "Rakim" looks pretty Moslem to me. If that's the case, then Sweden is focusing "on its real crime problem".

Sweden should be thanked for services to music.

If that's the case, then Sweden is focusing "on its real crime problem". Just the normal real (African)American boy Trump loves. Nothing to suggest the moslim part "Rakim Mayers was born on October 3, 1988, in the Harlem neighborhood of New York City.[5] His father was from Barbados, and his mother is African American.[6] He had an older sister, Erika B. Mayers,[7] who died in September 2016 following a drug overdose.[8] Mayers' first name was taken from the hip hop artist Rakim, one half of the Eric B. & Rakim duo.[9] His cousin is fellow ASAP Mob member ASAP Nast.[10]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASAP_RockyThe Rakim the first name came from is not really a moslim at least I think he'd be beheaded for blasphemy in some countries. "Rakim was initially introduced to the Nation of Islam in 1986, and later joined The Nation of Gods and Earths (also known as the 5 Percent Nation), and adopted the name Rakim Allah.[" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rakim"The Nation of Gods and Earths teaches that Black people are the original people of the planet Earth, and therefore they are the fathers ("Gods") and mothers ("Earths") of civilization.[12] The Nation teaches that Supreme Mathematics and Supreme Alphabet, a set of principles created by Allah the Father, is the key to understanding humankind's relationship to the universe. The Nation does not believe in a god but instead teaches that the Asiatic Blackman is God and his proper name is "Allah", the Arabic word for "God".[12]" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-Percent_NationJust the type of people dearDonaldTrump loves

Well, A$AP Rocky and his friens are home, awaiting the verdict on August 14. As Trump has twittered that Rocky is not a flight risk I can only assume that if Rocky is sentenced to some jailtime he'll return to Sweden voluntarily. How nice to see America 'great' again. "U.S. Warned Sweden A$AP Rocky's Detention Could Have 'Negative Consequences' As rapper A$AP Rocky arrived back on U.S. soil on Saturday as he awaits a verdict on assault charges he faces in Sweden, a Trump administration diplomat warned Swedish officials that relations between the two countries could sour if the artist wasn’t released." www.yahoo.com/huffpost/sweden-warned-negative-consequences-asap-rocky-release-184231162.html
