Oslo bombed

[DaShi]

Anyone else more worried about Ben being an illegal resident in the US than before?

[giblets]

I'm sorry, are you comparing me to the shooter or is Ben? Or is there some horrible misunderstanding? Classical liberalism doesn't strike me as the movement for terrorists.

No, I called you a right winger and a classical liberal. The nutcase who killed a bunch of people in Oslo was also a classical liberal, apparently, so you and him have a few things in common.

...wait, what? Jeffersonian democracy is terrorism?

I suggest not calling your beliefs "Jeffersonian democracy" if you don't believe in yeoman farmers and such.

A 1500 page manifesto? Sounds like a complete sperg.

[Al B. Sure!]

That manifesto was written by an Andrew Berwick

[Al B. Sure!]

I saw this in an article:

Norway's toughest sentence is 21 years in jail.

Seriously? The most this guy will get is 21 years?


Also, what gives with this?

Breivik hated "cultural marxists," wanted a "crusade" against the spread of Islam and liked guns and weightlifting, web postings, acquaintances and officials said.

Why is weightlifting a scary thing?

[Zevico]

Poor Al is part of the marginalised weightlifting community. Ever since Arnold you guys haven't been able to catch a break.

That's his english pseudonym.

From what I have read Al, that have a thing in Norway's legal system called forvaring that can keep him in prison for life.

Norway are a civilized country where people doesn't kill each other that much, so there are not laws able of handling what has happened.

People that artificially enhances their body are usually considered unintelligent and low on social scales. Weightlifting is typically connected with steroids etc.

Obviously weightlifting makes people commit massacres. In the same way as being 6'2" makes one unattractive to women.

That will only be possible if they can prove that he will do it again after release, so I seriously doubt that it can be used against him.

Edit: prove is wrong - dammit, drunk and tired, should be the "expect to do it again" word

Well since he has political goals, isn't that good proof? I mean those political goals will still need to be achieved when he gets out and he's already made it clear he is willing to use violence for them.

Seriously doubt it. He has no story of claiming he would do such, haven't really said he would do it and probably never said that it's the goal of his life.

[flash9286]

So you can only use it when someones admits they are going to break the law again after they are released? That seems ineffective.

Awesome, he has 20 years to figure out how to beat his personal best. If this happened in Texas he would just get put to death.
