Norway Bombing and Shootings

The suspect in Friday’s bomb and shooting attacks was described as a gun-loving, highly religious Norwegian obsessed with what he saw as the threat of multiculturalism and Muslim immigration to the cultural and patriotic values of his country.

Imagine that.

Do such fanatics need a reason to kill people? I do not think so. I believe these people have an inordinate desire to kill. The cause.....ideology is secondary.

no, that is not the case

the person may be predisposed to be fearful but how it is channeled depends on his exposures his course of action

Interesting.

Strange how that hasn't happened here.................yet......................Or has it?

I personally believe it's only a matter of time. I can imagine if the debt ceiling gets raised, PPACA isn't repealed or Obama manages to get re-elected that some nitwit will decide it's his duty to God and Country to start killing people. Doesn't take much of a leap to see that.

What about McVeigh who backed the truck full of explosives to the front of the federal building, where the day care part was, and letting her rip?

You know, he never got in any trouble for not taking that truck back.

The management at Ryder was probably sympathetic with his anti-government cause.

I'm still amused by the silence coming from the anti-Muslim crowd. Before it was revealed who he was, all the Norwegian patriots were all over the news going on about how Norway had been too lax on extremist Muslims. Now the argument could be made that Norway has neglected to sufficiently infiltrate and spy on Norwegian nationalists.

Perhaps the shooter ate too much Lutefisk and the lye affected his brain???

I think you might be on to something. Although my 97 year old Aunt Lucille in Minnesota is still pretty sharp for her age. Despite the annual intake of Christmas Lutefisk.
