Breaking News - Major Terrorist Attack In Oslo, Norway

[derspiess]

Then you're out of step with your Conservative brethren, some of whom may have jumped the gun and claimed it was Muslims.  Oh well.

You were wise not to accuse me of jumping to that conclusion; I was trying to make sense out of others' assumption that he was Muslim.

[Slargos]

So sounds like this guy is like Slargos, but with balls to back up his racist beliefs, and not just spout them off on an Internet message board?

Thank you, Katmai. Sincerely.

Cards in hand, it was a wrong assumption. Was it an unreasonable assumption, however?

Holy fuck. No wonder he was able to gun them all down. They had nowhere to go. Goddamn, that's awful.

[Norgy]

The only connection is by boat. The boat used was gone.

This is beyond belief. The authorities report "at least 80 dead", so the death toll may well rise.

At least obscure website document.no has gotten so much traffic due to Anders Behring Breivik's posting that it's gone down.

Anyway, for the Scandiweenians:

I see these kinds of posts every day in various comment sections in daily newspapers.

What a horrible business. I'm stunned that he managed to kill so many

Aren't you Europeans glad that you'll get to support this scumbag for the next 50 years in prison?

84 + 7

they are still finding bodies.

Absolutely tragic. There are no words.

I think it takes a special kind of enthusiasm to butcher a bunch of children though.

The Nazi kind would suffice.  Nazis have a long and distinguished track record when it comes to butchering children.

So do Communists. 

Not really. Nazis were more "nature than nurture" people, communists were the opposite. Nazis would murder parents and children, communists would murder parents and send children off to reeducation camps.

[Martinus]

I'm going to hazard a guess that when all is said and done there's a chick involved.

That, or levels of mental illness that makes any political rationale seem almost incidental - like the guy who shot the congresswoman (or was she a senator?) in Colorado.

What I don't get is, if it was a nutjob fundamentalist muslim or a group thereof, it justified the calls for "expelling the vermin" (well, it was from grallon, and he is not very smart but still), but if it is a white nutjob, his ideology suddenly becomes unimportant.

80 people? It's almost unbelievable that a single guy was responsible. [tasteless languish joke]Did no one think to tackle him?[/tasteless languish joke].

Jokes aside, it was just one guy.  Sure, it takes some balls to rush at a guy with a rifle, but if it was actually a rifle and not an automatic weapon, he can only get off a certain number of shots if you Zerg rush him.  I'd rather take my chances doing that than cowering behind a rock until he finds me.

If he had a fully automatic weapon, that changes things.  Then I'd rather hit the water and swim for it.

[Martinus]

The guy watches Caprica, which is related to the new Battlestar Galactica.  He is clearly unbalanced.

I have alerted the Sûreté du Québec.  Grallon will soon be arrested.  Berkut is next.

I think it is kinda funny, to be honest, that the guy kinda fits the profile of many Languishites. I bet if the police detained him over the gun/explosives thing before, Slargos would cry a river on how the police discriminates against good white people, while failing to capture black rapists or something.

Maximum sentence is 21 I read.
