2011 Oslo/Utoeya Norway attacks

According to his lawyer, he calls his actions "atrocious but necessary"...

so, is it true that this guy can only get a max of 21 years in jail

I have an extremely strong psyche (stronger than anyone I have ever known)

copied & pasted from the brains of every grandiose asshole ever

I read max of 21 years unless he's deemed unfit for release, which seems like it would be...true.

just noticed st0rmfr0nt has a 'ladies only' forum

jesus, this is horrifying

Survivors told how they hid under bunk beds, behind rocks and in cabins as Breivik, dressed as a police officer, beckoned the youths to him, promising them safety. Youngsters who fell for his ploy were shot in cold blood. Survivors told how they had heard people plead for mercy. Thorbjørn Vereide, 22, who ran away and hid in a cave, said: “He seemed very focused. He took his time and picked victims out one by one. People lay on the ground, and he went over them and shot them in the back. He shot them all twice to make sure they were dead.

“He kept shouting: ‘It’s safe to come out. You’ll be saved. I’m a cop.’”

Nicoline Bjerge Schie, 21, who cowered behind a rock near the beach, said: “I could not see the gunman but I heard him screaming and laughing and he gave several cheers.”

She watched at least five of her friends being hit by the gunman’s bullets and watched as the bodies tumbled off the rock and into the lake.

Adrian Pracon, 21, who was shot in the shoulder, said from his hospital bed: “He was yelling out that he was going to kill us all and that we all must die.” Mr Pracon played dead but survived.“He tried everyone, he kicked them to see if they were alive, or he just shot them,” he said.

Erik Kursetgjerde, an 18-year-old Labour Party youth member, said Breivik “would tell people to come over: ‘It’s OK, you’re safe, we’re coming to help you.’ And then I saw about 20 people come towards him and he shot them at close range.”

Edvard Foernes, 16, said the gunman walked through the camp, saying: “Come out and play with me. Don’t be shy.”

just so unbelievably disturbing. I feel like I can't even process it.

so sick that he targeted a camp of young people. fills me with all kinds of of terrible emotions. :-/

Judging from the article linked a couple of posts above by polyphonic, this guy was deeply, deeply sunken into a fantasy life of heroic self aggrandizement, but as I read the indications he might be clinically sane, as opposed to Jared Loughner who was purely psychotic and barely functioning. However that may be, he is one sick fuck.

Police have just arrested six people in Oslo, bomb squads are onto something at an industrial terrain right now.

Excerpts from his highly detailed plan, written by himself

god this is horribly sustained ^^. irrespective of how nuts and nonsensical he is (even 'hungarian girls are so hot' feels like the kind of dumb shit that should have picked a hole in his logic), it seems like he pretty levelheadedly chipped away at this for years.

so disturbing

It really is. Harrowing especially when he talks about his friends, engaging in meet-ups with them, seemingly having a genuinely nice time, yet all the time already knowing what he is going to do.

I’ve also scheduled to meet my stepmom, Tove Øvermo, in March. She used to work as a director in Norwegian UDI (the foremost government organization tasked with approving applications and granting foreigners (mostly Muslims) legal permits). Ironically, UDI is a highly valued target for Knights Templar in Norway as it is an essential tool and facilitator for the Norwegian multiculturalist regime. However, I think she’s retired now, so she is currently not in danger of any KT attacks. Although I care for her a great deal, I wouldn’t hold it against the KT if she was executed during an attack against UDI, as she used to be a primary tool and category B traitor for the multiculturalist regime of Norway, high treason she should be familiar with. Tove, being very intelligent and committed in the advancement of her own career under the multiculturalist regime, is fully aware that she is a willing and participating subject/tool for the Multiculturalist Alliance in the indirect genocide of Norwegians through the continued Islamisation of Norway.

demographics of norway

Islam 	98,953 	2.0%

I guess I just can't wrap my head around the fact that someone methodically killed 90+ people, with a gun, in under an hour. just passes in one ear and out the other, nope, can't comprehend.

conservapedia's angle is, get this, "the obvious culprit here is violent video games"

Islam 98,953 2.0%

yeah like ... i was skimming through the google docs thing above and, i know that that isn't the thing where he's laying out his MO but, it does just seem like a fantastically tenuous thing for him to be so entirely focused on. i do not know the dynamics of multiculturalism in norway & cannot inhabit the mind of someone to whom i guess national identity is all and everything, but, it just seems like the most ridiculous explosion of that cliched, base hatred-of-otherness thing.

lots of other weird angles to this, his 'anti-socialisation' & insularity as a means to prepare himself to do something inhumane, & the whole stockpiling of chemicals.

That's one scary piece of writing. There's a real Patrick Bateman feel to that google doc. I can almost imagine him discussing Château Kirwan or the minutae of buying sodium nitrate with him.

urgggggggggggggh why am i reading this

creepy as hell

can't stop reading this. Fucking terrifying. Even the more mundane elements have a creepy edge, all the 'partying' and stuff.

Anyway, back to email farming on Facebook, aaaaarrrrggh:/ It’s driving me nuts, lol.

I have now sent an application for a Ruger Mini 14 semi-automatic rifle (5.56). It is the most "army like" rifle allowed in Norway,

On the application form I stated: "hunting deer". It would have been tempting to just write the truth; "executing category A and B cultural Marxists/multiculturalist traitors" just to see their reaction:P

the emoticons, the emoticons

The six arrested have been released again.

^^^yes.

his use of emoticons particularly skeeves me out.

xxpost!

whoops, the "yes" was supposed to be in response to the "creepy as hell" post :P

banality of evil emoticons

deathdrone ;P vs. this guy's:P

1518 sickening pages of grotesque, megalomaniac (the plan is to end in 2083, I guess the 21 years in jail are part of the plan) psychopath "logic" - can't make out if his new templars are all in his head or if there really is a bigger organisation.

just clicking on some of the chapters, life's too short to waste on all of this crap -> Looks like he is accusing Rupert Murdoch of being a multiculturalist force on p 381? (ch2.19a)

How nice, muslims have until 2020 to convert to christianity (or else)

ha, so he cut and pasted sections of his manifesto from the unibomber.

sorry, "unabomber"

"I’ve also scheduled to meet my stepmom, Tove Øvermo, in March ...

You don't need to be a psychiatrist to see a certain degree of projection here.

I thought only America made freaks like this guy.

this part about going to prague to buy guns from a mid level drug dealer is incredibly, incredibly naive

I guess I just can't wrap my head around the fact that someone methodically killed 90+ people, with a gun, in under an hour. just passes in one ear and out the other, nope, can't comprehend.

I almost wonder! not that he was 'influenced' but would this kinda practice help? (I have never played these games and honestly have no idea.)

"I just bought Modern Warfare 2, the game. It is probably the best military simulator out there and it’s one of the hottest games this year. I played MW1 as well but I didn’t really like it as I’m generally more the fantasy RPG kind of person – Dragon Age Origins etc .and not so much into first person shooters. I see MW2 more as a part of my training-simulation than anything else. I’ve still learned to love it though and especially the multiplayer part is amazing. You can more or less completely simulate actual operations."

Has there ever been a gun massacre anywhere near this size? Columbine was 2 people killing 13 people.

iatee, this is by far the deadliest spree killing in modern world history http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spree_killer#List_of_spree_killings

yeah that's what I imagined

also I'm sure someone has pointed this out elsewhere but norwegian nationalist writing a tome in fluent english, apparently consuming nothing but american culture...is worried about...islam??

also he was taking steroids

the long torturous and hamfisted discussions of deconstruction and literary theory make me feel o_0

not only because it's a crazy rewind to the culture wars of the 80s/90s in the US to think that the main political issue of the present moment is "multiculturalism" in the "it's political correctness gone MAD I tell you"/free-speech-on-campus mode

but also because the sleight-of-hand in thinking that deconstruction = Marxism = cultural relativism = political correctness = affirmative action = cultures of tolerance = the EU as an entity . . . I mean, the jumps in scale and context and meaning are just baffling and wrong but it's not baffling that they would appeal to someone as a kind of explanation, I guess

I thought only self-important literary critics would believe that literary theory had this kind of magical power, but most actual academics that I know are entirely familiar with their marginality and isolation- this guy is more of a true believer in the power of theory than most, yknow, actual theorists

BUT . .. has anyone really corroborated that he wrote this?- the site that disseminated this doc points out lots of slightly sketchy things about the document- could someone else be circulating their crackpot plagiarized-from-the-unabomber nonsense on the heels of a real crime by someone else?

this was quite different to the usual expulsive spree killing by being so calculated. norway presumably has a fairly small political class and many of the attendees at utoya were children of labour party grandees and likely future politicians/civil cervants etc. seldom have organized terrorists groups tried to to cull an entire cadre of a political party on a single day.

yeah I had an argument with my bf about this guy's actions, he was saying "oh he was crazy" and I was pointing out that this was so ideologically driven that it seems much more like terrorism than insanity- this person had political beliefs and was acting on them in order to further them, fully realizing what he was doing- he wasn't schizophrenic, he wasn't out of touch with the basics of reality (though obv. he was in terms of the geopolitical scenario/reality of the threat of the Islamification of Norway which is not going to happen)- so then he was just . . . . what? factually wrong? At which point we then argued about psychopaths and whether they are "insane" or simply "deficient in empathy"- a psychotic person doesn't know what they are doing or what is or isn't real, a psychopath knows that they are hurting people and doesn't feel pity/sympathy/empathy. But this person doesn't seem to fit either model- he has a cause. That seems more like the classic def. of a terrorist to me.

yeah I think that's otm

Norwegian police have not confirmed that an online manifesto ranting against Muslim immigration and multiculturalism was written by Anders Behring Breivik, who has confessed to the bombing and shooting on Friday. However, Breivik's lawyer referred to it.

nakh and dr3w otm

Just because someone has ideas that place him at the farthest margins of society and those ideas inspire a passionate belief that anyone who holds ideas antithetical to his are criminals, wholly alien to him, and constitute the source of massive oppression, to the point where he wants to kill them, to the point where his convictions override any lingering compassion that might prevent him from killing them - all this does not make a person insane. All these mental mechanisms are pretty common.

What makes this guy completely unusual is how sustained this process was, and how carefully he nutured these ideas and feelings of alienation, and how completely he protected them from being contaminated with empathy. He built up an entire self-identity as someone who could kill his perceived enemies in cold blood, then went out and systematically proved it was true. He rigorously trained himself to be this person and do this act. That's not psychotic at all.

The scale of this was meant to be breathtaking, for the same reasons that al-Q chose to commit 9/11. It's terrorism, but terrorism in the service of a political faith shared by only a tiny handful of angry misfits, and therefore senseless by any practical measure. That's what makes it look insane to an outsider.

I don't think it's an either / or situation with psychopathy and terrorism. I'm not sure how much work has been done to assess the mental health of people who have carried out similar attacks under a political or religious banner in the past but it would be interesting to find out. No doubting that, regardless of what's going on with his brain chemistry, this is as clear cut a case of terrorism as you'll find though.
