Bomb attack on Oslo, Norway. At least 87 dead.

[Hydesland]

At times like these a part of me wishes Norway had the death penalty.

I don't think calling everyone who goes on a murdering steak insane does any help to actually understanding the motives behind such an event and preventing future incidents. That said, I hope he is insane.

If he isn't locked up for life, he gets a de facto death penalty. Or if he is locked up, but not in solitary. I'd guess that also would be a de facto death penalty.

Has our friendly kneighborhood Knorwegian checked in yet?

I don't think there is a lot of chance of him ever leaving prison.

He'll get '21 years with 'sikring''.

[Robertsonstan]

I just heard about this. What was the point of attacking Norway anyway?

Involvement in Afghanistan, involvement in Libya, domestic issues, etc.

Ok thank you for letting me know.

It seems to have been because he thought the Labour Party (ie, the government) are to soft on muslims.

[Serrland]

My God, 80 youths? That makes me feel sick to my stomach... 10 was a tragedy, but 80? That news literally makes me nauseous...

If this is true, then boy is Sunny gonna have egg on his face even more. A murder spree that occurred because the government refused to go authoritarian on the country's Muslims? Hoo.

[Derpusherpus]

It's 04.41 AM in Norway. Someone's in for a shock in a few hours, when they wake up and hear the new kill count. There's probably even a lot more dead than is confirmed right now.

[Veblenia]

Christ Jesus, 80 kids? Damn, terrorists. Damn them to hell!

Unno if I'd call it terrorism, bro. I think the guy is just a psycho with a conviction.

First, there's no indication the shooter was also the bomber. Second, how is this not terrorism? A bomb was detonated outside a government building, and the members of the Labour Party youth wing were massacred. It's pretty straightforward political violence, possibly a group activity.

[Mosasauria]

Oh my god...
What could possibly be the motive for this?!

[Paragade]

Yeah I just heard a conservative who may have been a Neo-Nazi just shot up a summer camp that was being hosted by Norway's Labor Party so now the death toll is over 80 people.

[Libera Patria]

It's probably going to rise even more, too... I bet tomorrow we may be talking about over 100 casaulties Jesus fucking christ...

Source please? So far everything about this storing mentioned earlier has been, more or less wrong. First it was Muslim terrorists, then a gang of Neo-Nazis, and now just some guy who appears to have been very upset... about something.

Political convictions...

Everything indicates that the shooter was also the bomber. Based on witness reports.

Violence and/or damage to property to attempt to institute change in the policy or behaviour of a government? Almost definitively 'terrorism', isn't it?

[Romalae]

What a horrible attack. An attack of this caliber is unjustifiable, ESPECIALLY to innocent non-adults. I wish there was something more I could do than just offer my condolences to the families of the victims. May the perpetrator(s) rot in hell.

the neo-nazi bit is mostly conjecture based on information available.

The shooter has been apprehended. He's a self-proclaimed nationalist, possible ties to extreme right. He is most likely also the bomber.

His name is Anders Behring Breivik. Google it.

[Kazomal]

I'm sure this has been pointed out already, but I'd just like to give a big "fuck off" to everyone who commented with "fucking Moslumz!"

[Tekania]

He is.

Says there that he had... quite extreme views against islam, and against multiculturalism.

A Muslim hating nationalist goes on a killing spree and Sunny goes quiet. Coincidence?

Right-Wing Nationalist Terrorists are sympathetic to his world-view. As he's already taken his early knee-jerk (emphasis on the jerk) reaction to blame this terrorist act on Islamic extremism; his job here is done.
