They were carefully planned assassinations to stop political succession. In the manner in which a prince is killed. And as PR for his ideas.

We are going over old ground.


This makes it o.k.? If I disagree with brainwashed commies who indoctrinate their kids, I can kill them?

No! You "re-educate", or whatever you wanna call it. You "deprogram" them. You have no right to kill them.

I hate to use Soviet terms in this case. But many kids are raised with odd belief systems, including Christians.

Bottom line. YOU CAN'T KILL THEM!!!! Maybe jail the parents though...


Look what we did to Saddam's sons.


No comparison at all, dude! His son's were fully reponsible adult assasins. They were evil boys who died in a firefight. May they rot in hell.

I think I know what's going on here.

LG, is a gov't or liberal troll (who's also prominant in the OWS thread) who is trying to draw out right-wing extremists who would espouse violence.

Nice try.

Most right-wingers are peaceful people who want to be left alone! Look to your bankers, politicians, and lobbyists for crooks before you look here!

We want to be left alone!!!!! F*#k off!

There is a political ideology behind the crimes and which motivated the crimes. Fact.

Yeah, and it's Washington, not a party.

This is is why I'm on the Cain-Train. He's an a-political conservative. Newt, Obama, Barney Frank, and even Romney are fools for the parties.

Cain ain't. And that's why they smear him. He represents us first, party second. He's a good guy. All the smears are obvious bullsh#t.

LG, I know all about nationalism, NAZI-ism, Islamic radicalism, anti-semitism, and whie-supremeicy. I prolly know more than you on several of those topics, I follow this sh#t. I'm a right-wing Christian.

That said, you have to be open to others who may have more perspective on these issues, and all the issues involved. Wheather it's Jew-bashing or Arab-hate!

After watching all this crap, I tend to agree with you. There seems to be a free-for-all on Jew/Christian hatin'.

What do I do? What I've always done....talk about it. ANd if some people don't like it, they can f*#k off!

Blue, you write

And then you write

That doesn't exactly strike me as someone being open to other's perspectives.But then, maybe I'm somehow reading this wrong?

Slayton, please keep my posts in context.

If someone does not want to talk about differences or why they hate, then yeah, they can go f*#k themselves. I'd rather not resort to throat-cutting or shooting.

But if someone wants to try to understand different points of view before dismissing them, I'll talk. I may disagree in the end, but I'll dialogue about it.

This guy is mentally ill, too:

He also killed a bunch of people, but because he did it in California, he's not going to a *hospital*. He's going to get the death penalty.

There now seems to some doubt as to whether the psychiatric hospital where the murderer is likely to end up is secure enough. However, given that the hearing/trial won't be until April, they'll no doubt figure it out by then. About 90% of Norwegians want him imprisoned for his natural life, no possibility of release.

Anybody who guns down 77 innocent, unarmed people is a murderer. Technically a mass-murderer.

I don't give a f*#k why he did it as long as he's prosecuted as such. Sure he's crazy as a secondary fact legally, but he's a F*#KING MASS-MURDERER PRIMARILY!!! I don't need to hear why he's sick. Try to explain to 77 families why this son of a bitch should live one more day. Could you do that?

lg: They will first give him a fair hearing as to whether or not he's insance, in the legal meaning of the word. Apparently there is talk of allowing him to be examined by non-Norwegian psychologists, if he truly wants to argue that he's not insance.

He will have at least something of platform in that there will be a hearing on his mental fitness and capacity. How much use he'll make of it is another matter - courts everywhere tend to squelch such behaviour.

If he's found fit to stand trial, then he may have other opportunities to spew.

We can argue all day about whether it's "just" for him to be treated in this way, but it won't change what has happened or will happen.

How fit does he really need to be?

All he has to do to stand trial is sit in the courtroom and keep his mouth shut.

An independent review commission has confirmed the court-appointed psychiatrists' opinion that the murderer is criminally insane. It sounds like the seven-person committee wasn't unanimous in its report, and that some members wanted a second examination to be conducted.

The debate about whether the murderer was legally insane continues:

Perhaps somewhat academic - either way he'll never be released.

announced today that prosecution will go with legally insane (or more directly "lack of accountability"). haven't seen English-language press covering it yet, but: http://www.aftenposten.no/nyheter/iriks/22juli/Derfor-mener-de-Breivik-er-utilregnelig--6855573.html#.T-NI51L5Dwk

either way he'll never be released.
In Oslo today, that is not a universally believed assumption.

Here's a summary, in English: http://www.newsinenglish.no/2012/06/21/prosecutors-want-breivik-committed/

The prosecution argued in closing yesterday that there was enough doubt about the murderer's mental health that he should be committed to psychiatric treatment. It's now up to the court to decide if it will be that, or jail with a 21 year sentence, plus (likely) the equivalent of a "dangerous offender" declaration, which would make it unlikely he'd ever be released.

If/when he's finished his sentence, or been successfully treated, a court would have to consider whether he should be released. Possibly decades from now, who can say for sure?

BACK to the battlefield?!?!?

90% of those held were entirely uninvolved. simply people who got abducted cuz we were paying for heads.

WE introduced a battlefield to their regular lives
WE instigated the hostilities
WE are the aggressor

this guys manifesto was littered with the bullshit people like you think is gospel

hes your boys,
albeit more exuberant than your honesty can take

The case has now concluded, and the court will issue its verdict on August 24th.

One year after terror struck the hearts of Norwegians, the security walls around Oslo’s bombed government complex are gone and plans are in place for an upcoming weekend of memorial events. Sunday July 22nd will feature official speeches, wreath-layings, a large outdoor concert where tens of thousands gathered in sorrow in Oslo last year, and moments of quiet reflection.

Just a few hundred meters away from the scene of Norway’s worst attacks since World War II is a well-preserved message from the war itself. The message may encourage those venturing towards the island of Utøya, either during the first anniversary this weekend of last summer’s terrorist attacks on the island, or anytime.

The "Vi Vil Vinne" (We Will Win) war memorial is located just 200 meters from a makeshift memorial to the victims of the massacre on the island of Utøya last year, and uncannily relevant as Norwegians recover from the tragedy. Various memorial events will be held this weekend, tied to the first anniversary of the terrorist attacks on July 22, 2011. PHOTO: Views and News

Motorists driving north on the narrow road along the Tyrifjord known as Ringeriksveien, just under and paralleling the E16 highway, will encounter the message on the way to Utvika and the mainland dock for Utøya. It amounts to three words painted on the asphalt in the middle of the road: Vi Vil Vinne (We Will Win), with emphasis on the capital “Vs” for victory.

They were first painted, illegally, by three young men from Oslo in 1941, a year after Norway was invaded by Nazi Germany. The trio – brothers Henrik and Frans Aubert and their friend Egil Breen – unwittingly or not thus created an important symbol for the Norwegian resistance movement (Hjemmefronten, the home front) as they battled Nazi forces.
