2011 Oslo/Utoeya Norway attacks

They should have found a muslim judge for the case...

what's that weird belt he's wearing

glad this guy won't get the death penalty, Trayce OTM

i assumed somethign to do with handcuffs

which they removed so that he could give a white power salute?

i don't think that's why, as such, no

The photo is nak's post is kind of great. Po-faced idiot and his salute and the rest of the ppl are all 'Oh great!'

thats a black power salute, actually

Whatever it is, he looks about as talented doing it as a three year old.

lol

I think you have to be black for it to be a black power salute tbf

(altho tbrr black power salute is the arm upraised, not just extended forwards)

What the hell are the Norwegians going to do if he's found sane? Wouldn't he face a max of a mere 21 years?

Wouldn't he face a max of a mere 21 years?

this is addressed upthread. the answer is no, he'd be in jail for life.

children's pig otm

I like how he is looking directly at the camera, calmly delivering his message of strength to 'his people', who are nothing but a miserable little fringe group of losers and idiots like him. So self-dramatizing.

seems as thought the worst punishment the dude could face would be indifference and humiliation. no one treats his crime as anything other than a sad and tiresome expression of madness, no one gives any indication that they're at all impressed or frightened by his idea & behavior. he's found insane and publicly mocked to the extent that anyone cares at all. he spends the rest of his life in a drab little room eating pudding off a steel plate and talking weekly to a condescendingly "friendly" and unflappable psychiatrist about his mommy issues and toilet training.

Shouldn't laugh but:

he named the guns he used in the Utoeya shootings after characters in Norse mythology

he took a year's "sabbatical" from business activities in 2006 because he was planning the "suicide action"
he spent the year playing the online role-play game, World of Warcraft, for up to 16 hours a day

so curious about his WoW character, why won't they released this important info?

*sigh*

oh my god

surprised?

Do books lead to impure thoughts?

Do newspapers lead to pandering?

Do video games lead to Lana del Rey?

eh i'd be cool with banning video games

I'd be cool with banning the song "Video Games"

this fucking guy

it has to be some kind of nazi conspiracy that the media is even discussing this video game angle

RIGHT WING RACIST KILLER kills a bunch of LIBERAL KIDS, posts RIGHT WING RACIST MANIFESTO about KILLING LIBERALS

could it be...

the video game thing isn't really getting a ton of traction as far as I can tell.

if it leads to the banning of WOW, let it get a little traction

eh, the military uses video games as kill training. comes as no surprise that they might also help psychos hone similar skills. this doesn't mean that they're evil or should be banned, but i won't pretend to be *shocked* when people draw those conclusions.

not that WoW seems like a particularly instructive thrill-kill simulator

it's not "shock"

gotcha

misread your "oh my god"

This guy is such a dork, a murderous dork to be sure, but such a dork and is often the case, horribly self-unaware.

i was saying the other day that the thing that breivik and derb and all these super arch reactionary paleo conservative racists have in common is that they seem to have been beaten up a lot in high school and rejected by girls

by that reasoning I should be a super arch reactionary paleo conservative racist

in my case it was the super arch reactionary paleo conservative racists doing the beating/rejecting

did derb ever talk about getting bullied or beaten up as a kid? idk i'm always a little suspicions of a-to-b stories like that tbh

certainly do feel like there's a connected phenomena of above-avg intelligence and waaay-below-avg ability to understand other people that leads certain dudes to extreme politics & simplistic solutions -- nobody likes me, everyone is so stupid, nobody can see the truth, everything is so corrupt and nobody understands

goole otm, but that kind of alienation can lead people off in all sorts of directions. i mean, i was one of those guys and in many ways still am. i just sought solace in different things.

yeah i'm wary of making that connection too, for reasons goole explained. almost a form of bullying itself

"certainly do feel like there's a connected phenomena of above-avg intelligence and waaay-below-avg ability to understand other people..."

This kind of sounds like Asberger's, though.

He definitely had issues with his sister and mother, iIrc.

it's almost frustrating that on account of his extreme actions it's become so much of an understatement to point out that this guy is such a stupid dick.
