:rolleyes:
I am almost certain that this was carried out by some right wing Norwegian extremists.
wait, they have Tea Party in Norway also?
I’ve read some speculation that Libya (Qadaffi) might be behind it since Norway F16s are part of the whole bombing thing.
No real ideas…
It’s all the gun owning veterans coming home.
Lutherans. That’s who did it. Norway is full of them.
Those damn Menonites!
Let me guess, are they faithful followers of a certain peaceful religion?
The Lutherans or the Mennonites?
I haven’t read up on the attacks because I had my wisdom teeth out this morning and I am plenty drugged.
However, lets keep in mind, that northern Europe is filled with anarchist groups, communists, and socialists that are more than willing to blow stuff up.
Might be Islam, possible it might not be too considering the more than willing extremists in northern Europe.
Reports are coming in that it’s a Norwegian farmer.

Police arrested a 32-year-old Norwegian man on the island, linked him to both assaults and said they did not know the motive.
Norwegian media identified him as Anders Behring Breivik and said authorities searched his home.
Surely you don’t mean Muslims Mr. Knuckle.
There had to be more than one shooter with so many casualties. One witness described the shooting as coming from all different directions.
80 dead at the camp, 7 dead at the car bomb
Before anyone gets confused on the difference between politics there and here…
Basically both right and left there are socialists…but the right wing is more nationalistic. IE they don’t want a ton of immigration of outsiders and are traditionalists. A conservative European usually means they just want to preserve their way of life and tradition. Doesn’t mean they are like American conservatives which has to do with limited government and spending. A European conservative usually still supports the socialist state welfare programs.
The left there is more like our progressives here welcoming 3rd world immigration and pushing for the government control and feel good laws.
Their right wing has little to do with our right wing. Just like by European standards Nazi’s were national socialists (fascists) which are considered right wing there. Of course some people use that to say that means Nazis are ring wing here which simply doesn’t make any sense on the American political map. I suspect our lefties here in the US, will once again, use the difference of definitions to their benefit and put this guy in our lap.
By ‘right wing’ they mean nationalist, anti-multiculture, anti-muslim. That’s what they mean by right-wing in this instance.
There was one shooter. This political gathering/convention was happening on an island in a lake with only one access point. He had free reign to execute anyone on it.
OBVIOUSLY this is Norway, civilized, meek, naive, pathetic little Norway where guns are bad, so no one had the means or the will to protect themselves.
I can also guarantee you the result of this will be a monumental knee-jerk reaction further curtailing that right. It took less than half or even a fourth of this kind of death toll for Great Britain and Australia to utterly maim themselves and ban nearly everything.
Can’t wait to get out of this place, it’s only going to get worse from now on.
Be glad you live in a country where your rights aren’t pissed on, and carry every day.
still trying to wrap my mind around how he was able to kill 80+ on the island by himself, the island would be hard to control for a single person.
A man dressed as a police officer, calling in a bunch of panicked and scared shitless teenagers at a summer campout, then executing them. It would have been like shooting fish in a barrel.
I can’t even imagine how horrific this must have been. What kind of twisted fuck plans the murder of scores of teenagers?
Absolutist ideology, religious or political, regardless of sect, creed, or position on the political spectrum, creates people capable of committing atrocities.
What a tragedy. And, sadly, how trite that sounds in today’s world.
news is saying he bought 6 tons of fertlizer recently
how long did he get to go around and shoot before he was stopped?
Someone estimated he had half an hour. More than enough… It’s not a particularly big island, it also has only one access point, a small ferry (which was not available).
