Starting the betting pool on who's responsible?

The Norwegians obviously don't pat down and backscatter image enough 70 year old Caucasians or toddlers. See where it got them?

They're supposed to fight them OVER THERE, so they don't have to fight them OVER HERE. Wait, how's that go again?

Looks like there was also a linked shooting at a youth center by a man dressed as a police officer who was captured, so perhaps this will unravel quickly.

On a side note reading the comments on both CNN and Fox on this, it is amusing to watch who is being blamed. Fox viewers where predictably blaming muslims, while on CNN (for the page or three I read) it was split too home grown extremists, Jews out to make muslims look bad, and muslims but where pushed by a xenophobic west.

Indeed,

The camp outing where the gunman attacked was for children of members of the "Ruling Party", and police are saying the gunman is linked to the bombing in Oslo.

One witness claiming at least 20 are dead in the shooting.

It's over 80 dead in the shooting now, making this one probably the deadliest of all time.

It's going to be VERY interesting to see how this affects the Norwegian criminal justice system, and if the current laws are upheld. Note that this shooting occurred at a youth camp. (the victims were 15-16 years old) The shooter was captured alive and is only 32 years old. Currently the maximum sentence for any crime in Norway is 21 years and all sentences are served concurrently. The way the law currently stands this guy could get out in 14 years (only 66% of prison sentences in Norway get served in prison) for the mass murder of children. From wikipedia:

Quote:
Approximately two hours after the Oslo explosion,[9] Breivik travelled about 40 kilometres (25 miles) northwest of Oslo, to the lake of Tyrifjorden, where he was ferried to the island of Utøya and the location of [9] the Labour Party's annual Workers' Youth League (AUF) youth summer camp. Once there, he engaged in a random shooting spree amidst the campers before finally being apprehended. Police believe the two incidents are related.[9][25]

While dressed as a police officer, Breivik asked people to gather round him before indiscriminately firing his weapons,[26][27] killing and injuring numerous people.[28] A spokesman for the National Police Directorate under the Ministry of Justice and Police reported that most of the casualties were youths of about 15 and 16 years old;[29] according to NRK, witnesses report the man beckoning the youths before shooting them.[30] Some witnesses on the island were reported to have hidden in bathrooms or undergrowth, communicating by text message to avoid giving their positions away to the gunman.[31]

well it looks like this PoS's motivation was too wake up Norwegians to the dangers of Muslims...by killing Norwegians....

Disclaimer: I for one immediately, gut reaction, blamed muslims when the story first hit, so I will admit I was wrong on this one.

The movies/documentaries they make on this should be pretty good.

Will those that claim the US can be blamed for being the reason Muslims attack others blame the Muslims for this attack?

The US and its foreign policies are to blame here somehow, I just can't figure it out yet.

Pffffft.

A. was inspired by the Oklahoma City bombing and used it as a distraction while he got down to the business of killing Norway's young liberals in a position to attain leadership. All this to bring about a change that isn't going to happen. He is a racist fool who just murdered a bunch of people for no other reason than he hated other people.

Does Norway have the death penalty? I almost hope not, keep him locked up until he dies alone, hated, a failed man.

He's going to be let go when he's 50, Mike. That is, if inmates don't kill him before that.

53, but yeah. The longest penalty permitted by law in Norway is for 21 years and all must be served concurrently.

That's not true. They have a stipulation for crazy. If the punishment is set up a certain way, you are reviewed by a council to determine if you are safe to be released. He could potentially be in for life, depending on the outcomes of these annual reviews.

Of course he was. His manifesto was littered with references to the rate of taxation, and limiting the size, scope and spending of the Norwegian Federal Government. Or not.
