Sensationalist bullshit, but I thought they did that every day? Or was it labelling it an Al Qaeda attack? Again crap journalism is not exactly unheard of from themIt is unbelievable just how many lives he took at the camp. A proper tragedy that. Hopefully he was just a mentally unstable individual rather than this being planned by an organisation. The world already has enough terrorists without them spreading to previously quite peaceful places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lethal10 Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Such a tragedy. How was he captured? Ran out of bullets and not manage to do himself, or does he think this is going to give him some elevated status now that everyone knows him?

But still jumping the gun labelling it an al-qaeda attack and their 9/11 is on the bad end of even their scale. Even worse when it takes up less space than those two vitally important ads above it.

Captain America Posted July 23, 2011 Report Share Posted July 23, 2011 Apparently, he wants a chance to explain himself and he may have deliberately targeted the Labour youth movement to basically cull future political opposition in Norway.That's what's been reported anyway. Strongly against the labour government. He was apparently responsible for the bomb as well. Set up an Organic farm company and ordered 12 tonnes on fertiliser. Not heard much in the last few hours but apparently he was co-operating with the police and all that. It's achieved his horrible goal though hasn't it. His own political message is now going to reach the whole country. Really sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh_Jazz Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 Heard a report this morning stating that the maximum sentence that can be levied under Norwegian law is 21 years.He'll be out when he's 53. Crazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted July 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 21 years is the maximum sentence that can be given. But it is also possible for a sentence to be extended for periods of 5 years if he is still considered dangerous / a threat to society. So in theory it is possible for him to remain imprisoned for the rest of his life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX Posted July 24, 2011 Report Share Posted July 24, 2011 To be honest, I'd much prefer they kept him in a small, empty room and, every 93 minutes, inject him with fertiliser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaki Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Have to be honest and say that my initial reaction was 'Muslim Extremism'. Half the people in my office are Norwegian and nobody could understand why Norway would be attacked given it is one of the nations most open and accepting of all people. Of course it now seems that it is exactly this that was at the root of the attack. We did speculate about the prophet Muhammed cartoons too. Perhaps we could all be experts on the news. Very sad day in the office, 2 people had relatives on the island - one is missing and one is in hospital having been shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 He expects that by 2083, there will have been 45000 'Cultural Marxists' executed and a million injured, and that his side will have won by then. They won't because we will string them up first, one by fucking one if need be, although it will never come to that, as his cause is only supported by a tiny proportion of severely mentally impaired and deranged sadists, rather than the populist millions they imagine in the grip of their collective delusions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stoney_stu Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 I remember the impact the Dunblane killings had on Scotland ... this is worse ... much worse for Norway.. really tragic. I dont believe this story that he was acting alone. Its hard to defend against a lunatic like this... Everyone in Norway will know someone involved directly or one step removed. awful.

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 It seems the hearing will not be public. I doubt a media blackout will be possible though.I think all/most of the Norwegian outlets would comply, as it is the only way to stop the scumbag achieving the thing he set out to do, widely disseminating his noxious viewpoint. His whole raison d'etre was to use his trial as a fascist rallying point, if all news outlets in the world restricted themselves to only reporting the case from the point of what was done, and published not a word of his moronic ideology, then the scummy fool would die knowing he had done nothing to advance his cause, not that he would ever understand just how infintessimally small the number of those who shared his views are.Someone will probably kill him in a Viking blood feud now/sometime, hopefully slowly.**I think I don't mean it, but can't really be sure.

Shaki Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 BBC News - Norway attacks: World press reactionEditorial in Israel's Jerusalem PostPerhaps Breivik's inexcusable act of vicious terror should serve not only as a warning that there may be more elements on the extreme Right willing to use violence to further their goals, but also as an opportunity to seriously re-evaluate policies for immigrant integration in Norway and elsewhere.

Oedo 808 Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Aye, there's a few interesting quotes there, but I thought Russia's coverage sounded more interesting even than that of Israel.

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 Turns out Cowardy Scum is a big fan of Melanie Philips, who would have guessed.The Daily Mail, not racist, but #1 with racists.*"Among hundreds of references Breivik cites are several well-known British newspaper columnists and articles in publications across the political spectrum.Melanie Phillips, of the Daily Mail, is quoted at length, including an opinion piece about Labour's immigration policy which is included in full.Attacking the rise in immigration, she remarks: "It was done to destroy for ever what it means to be culturally British and to put another 'multicultural' identity in its place."He also cites an article by Jeremy Clarkson, the Top Gear presenter and Sunday Times columnist, about the flag of St George stating: "This is the only country in the world where the national flag is deemed offensive."Norway attack live coverage: Anders Behring Breivik in court | News | guardian.co.ukPerhaps there is no such thing as harmless invective.*yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Von Mondragon Posted July 25, 2011 Report Share Posted July 25, 2011 No, you also have to have the misguided belief that your own country, race/ethnicity are superior. But Philips is an intemperate, intolerant and malicious person who makes her money through vicious slurs, untruths and just plain made-up-shit. I find it interesting that she is the sort of writer that the nutbag is interested in reading, but not surprised that there is consonance between them.And I am saying that her invective, because that's all it is, is harmful.EDIT, wow, her website is worse than Peter Dow's, and as serious.
