I city block leveled in Oslo and 10 dead at a youth camp by apparently the same suspect.

All this over a cartoon?

7/22/2011 4:48:43 PM

Wow, at least 16 dead in the bombing/shooting.

Why Norway? What did they ever do to anyone?

7/22/2011 4:57:43 PM

They reprinted the danish cartoon making fun of Muhammad

7/22/2011 5:01:42 PM

yeah, I've been kind of following this today

sad stuff

Supposedly terrorists have been threatening Norway for 3 years, and they're also upset over Norway having troops in the middle east.

The Global Support of Terrorism or something network is claiming the attack

The guy who did it is Norweigian

7/22/2011 7:26:24 PM

open racism ITT, but it is all good because it is not against blacks or jews.

from the tv:

"witnesses describe a blond nordic-looking man"

if that's true, most probably a christian right-winger.

also, bbc is saying no one has claimed responsibility for either attacks.

Likely a Norweigian who converted to Islam

I wasn't aware there was a confirmed suspect/bomber, where'd you find that?

You guys do know it's more than the cartoons right? I mean gimme a break.

7/22/2011 7:42:09 PM

Local media has named the shooter on the island as Anders Behring Breivik, some guy who had beef with the party in power. Nothing has been announced regarding the bombing.

Also, lol at 0EPII1 calling someone else racist.

7/22/2011 7:43:48 PM

They were just talking about on the news that it was a veteran Norwegian man who has grievances with the government and which seems to be a solo plot.

So yeah.

7/22/2011 7:44:36 PM

This has some interesting info

It appears a terrorist group and some terrorist named Ayers are claiming the attack

yes, could be a local who converted, but i am not seeing this claim of responsibility anywhere on tv or the net.

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/23/world/europe/23oslo.html

here is some good analysis on why it is just as likely to be right-winger as muslims:

Yeah, Drudge was captioning the link as the group's claim, but looks like it must've been removed from the article after the posted update.

What does "ethnic Norwegian" mean?

7/22/2011 7:51:57 PM

if you can trace your ancestors to VIKINGS

7/22/2011 7:52:53 PM

I mean I'm quarter Norwegian but I don't go around saying I'm ethnic anything, lol

7/22/2011 7:54:43 PM

yeah well you are a mix.

if you are a pure viking descendant, you are an ethnic norwegian (or danish, swedish, icelandic).

btw i read "ethnically norwegian" on that telegraph link i posted... i too, wondered what it meant, but i still decided to use it here

7/22/2011 7:56:59 PM

norwegian tv is saying the captured suspect gas links to far right-wing groups.

7/22/2011 8:47:13 PM

how does one gas links?

it was kinda funny - michelle malkin (the conservative blogger) tweeted about 15 minutes after the attack that it was most likely an islamic jihdist... when another account looked they were questioning whether or not it was an islamic jihadist - she flamed the shit out of them....

now fast forward til the facts come out and look who's wrong.

7/22/2011 10:03:05 PM

Yeah, it's so frustrating being a member of the Christian race, so many racists out to get us!

7/22/2011 10:03:50 PM

Point being, he doesn't have room to talk. He should stick to sniffing boxers instead of getting all righteous.

7/22/2011 10:06:41 PM

But, uh, it doesn't make him racist.

Not saying he's justified or anything.

7/22/2011 10:10:31 PM

the death toll is now at 80

7/22/2011 10:11:54 PM

are you just guestimating like Chris Walken? CNN says 17 and earlier it was under 10 so 80 sounds like they discovered a mass grave

7/22/2011 10:23:42 PM

There's multiple reports saying 80

7/22/2011 10:25:20 PM

the bodies washed out into the water - and they're coming back to shore at this point

7/22/2011 10:29:06 PM

Didn't have a good reason so he made up one.


Pretty simple mind if you ask me.


People wouldn't understand why someone would do this for no reason

7/23/2011 12:34:28 AM

oh look, another hater/racist/troll.

***********************************

i am shocked that just 7 people died in the massive bomb blast that ripped through a whole building, but the attacker was able to kill 84 people at the camp using just guns.

how the hell does some one gun down 84 people???

'tis sad.

according to BBC right now:

his gripe was with immigration, muslims, and multiculturalism... he is known to be a far-right wing cultural conservativist with strong anti-muslim views.

dude bought 6 tons of fertilizer.

"Elise said she hid behind the same rock that the killer was standing on. "I could hear his breathing from the top of the rock," she said. In panic, the girl phoned her parents, whispering to them what was going on. 'They told me not to panic and that everything would be OK," she said. Her parents also told her to get rid of a brightly coloured jacket she was wearing to not draw attention to herself."

I can't imagine the terror her parents went through over this as well, listening to it, and giving her advice, probably doubting if they'd ever see her again
