yes, absolutely unbelievable. Looks like the bomb was just meant as a distraction for the police to give him plenty of time for the shootings. Absolutely horrific and unbelievable. What a scumbag.

91 killed. 7 from Oslo and 84 youths. 'Horrible' doesn't quite cut it...

I know a lot of labor youth activists, but so far nobody I know have been affected by this, it seems.
I'm just stunned by people's calm, altruistic and relatively organized behavior in all of this. Everything have been handled very well.

The asshole is a right-wing radical and against Islamism and multiculturalism.... while people are still harassing Muslims. However, most people's behavior has been exemplary.

Honestly? It disgusts me to write this but I think violent entertainment is to be blamed a little here. No I don't think that's even a tenth of the reason why that scumbag did this. But still.

If anything positive is to be found in this maybe the people in northern europe start to think twice about who they vote for. The rise in extreme this, extreme that has me worried. But writing sentences like this is like trying to pick pieces of chocolate from a pool of shit. Hang in there norwegians.

Yeaaaahhh. He played WoW and CoD: MW2. There will be a flamewar about this I guess. Dude gets sentenced to 21 years which is the maximum penalty in Norway. He can't be charged with treason because we're not actively in a war. So that kinda sucks. 21 years.

At these times we really need to hang on to our faith in compassion. Deeply shocked.

Highly doubt it. He'll spend the rest of his life in a mental institution or other inmates off him.

I don't think violent entertainment is to be blamed. I play the sickest videogames and watch the sickest movies (well, although I do draw a line too of course) and hey, I'm a peace loving vegetarian pacifist. I think this here is just a case of a guy with mental problems going completely bonkers. And since he's one of those neo-nazi pricks I'm sure he was fed with tons of nazi-populism. And that seems to be a growing problem...globally. Ain't just Europe. Just look at the USA and those Tea Party racist fuckwits. Over here in Germany racist fucks gain more and more ground too and there's plenty of them in the ruling christian party. That shit's gotta stop! If there's anything positive to come out of this then I hope it's that people will realize how dangerous this extreme right wing populism bullshit is.

And of course, now that that coke whore Winehouse is dead, the media instantly shift to focus on that dreg of society rather than the 91 people dead in Norway.

She was still a human being, and someone's daughter. For all we know, some of the people killed by the gunman may have had it coming, too. I didn't know any of them, but I've experienced the loss of loved ones many, many times. It doesn't matter how or why, it always hurts.

But yeah, the media will always go for the tabloid-esque news and rub it in all of our faces. I mean, I guess Japan is all better now, right?

That's my position too pretty much. What I meant was that it seems that people have been desensitized to violence. Our monkey brain is supposed to be concerned only of our own little tribe. Now we get news of tragedies from all over the world daily. That combined with the 10,000+ virtual murders I've commited... Well...

Yeah. But I'm not too worried about that and completely against banning games. The extreme right wing populism is what truly scares me. I'm 22 years old. The wall was teared down the year I was born. My generation has no connection to war whatsoever and through media war has been universally glorified for the first time since ww1. Maybe that's not how it'll go down but I fear something horrible is going to happen within the next 50 years.
