Glen Quagmire Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Terrible tragedy. To me it looks like the bomb in Oslo was meant to act as a decoy to weaken response from the local authorities to what was happening at the youth camp.

Tabula Rasa Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Absolutely shocking, terrible stuff. It seemed bad enough last night when the details were first coming out, but overnight the death toll went much higher than I think anyone was expecting. As people have said, it's really unusual for the perpetrator to be caught alive after an event like this. Can't imagine he'll last long in prison, in any case. Â As an aside, I'm getting a bit tired of the "look, white people can be terrorists too!" sort of stuff on Twitter. Maybe that's a lesson that some in America or in other parts of Europe need to learn, but I think most British people are aware, given our history.

IIRC anyone found guilty of murder in Norway can only receive a maximum sentence of 14 years, though I'm not sure how multiple murders work wherever the sentences are concurrent or consecutive.

steamroller Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 IIRC anyone found guilty of murder in Norway can only receive a maximum sentence of 14 years, though I'm not sure how multiple murders work wherever the sentences are concurrent or consecutive. They seem to limit it to 21 years and most are out in 10, life sentences are still on the books but are not used due to a ruling that isnt law. Thats what Ive heard over the last years.

Tabula Rasa Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 What about Timothy McVeigh & the Unabomber? Â Yeah, I'm aware of the cases, and that's part of my annoyance. Most people are aware that terrorists can be from any ethnic background, and don't need these heavy-handed 'lessons' from commenters who think they're performing some sort of public service. Â Of course there are people who don't get that, and they should certainly know better. I didn't mean to suggest that Americans are in particular ignorant; they just have less experience than we do of 'white' terrorism (relatively isolated cases as opposed to sustained campaigns). And I don't know America that well, hence the "maybe". My point was just that most Brits have grown up with it, and aren't likely to forget that because the most prominent threat of recent times has come from elsewhere.

Tommy Atkins Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 How long will it take for him to go to trial? That's going to be absolute carnage. Do they have TV cameras in Norwegian courtrooms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Nah, I think it's worth addressing; things done changed a lot in the last 10 years. Â The narrative in the media switches from "Muslim terrorist who represents all muslims" to "lone right wing extremist nut". I think people are that quick to forget.

Paid Members Carbomb Posted July 26, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted July 26, 2011 Glenn Beck compares the shooting victims to the Hitler Youth. Â This makes me feel ill, quite frankly. What the fuck is wrong with Glenn Beck. Â Glenn Beck compares everything left-wing to Hitler and the Nazis, bottom-feeding pond-life scrote-sack that he is. Â As Lewis Black said about him on the Daily Show: "Glenn Beck has Nazi Tourettes. It's like Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, except that there's only one degree, and Kevin Bacon is Hitler."
