yeah I read about that Knights Templar stuff... the fucking nut titled himself as "Knight Justicar Anders Breivik". I'm not sure if that group was just people who only felt similarly, or if it was a group that was radical and crazy enough to act on it. it's also speculated he has ties to the English Defense League.svpreme wrote:I don't know enough about the actual specifics of the attack to have an informed opinion about that, but didn't he make reference to being part of a new Order of the Knights Templar or some shit? I hope it isn't the start of a series of attacks by them or something.Phigure wrote: do you guys think he acted alone? i don't...
Even if other people didn't actually help out, I'm sure there were people who knew about it beforehand and likely provided support in some way, even if it wasn't by necessarily physically being there to help.
I think it's likely that there were co-conspirators, but I think they've covered their tracks and it will be pinned on him just alone... unless there's more attacks to follow.
he bought 6 tons of fertilizer (most likely ammonium nitrate) which should have set off some flags, but it was looked over since he owns/claims to own a farm. although, even if they called the authorities on him, he might have still gotten away with it, since, let's just be honest, no one expected a guy like him to do it.
maybe they could also be able to get him for 90+ counts of murder? or is that included in the terrorism charge and not prosecutable twice?LA_Boxers wrote:Surely they will have the bombing and the shooting as seperate charges so at a minimum they will be able to give him 42 years?
I really just hope certain people dont see him as some sort of god and read his ''manifesto'' and try and continue his ''work''. I'm really glad certain newspaper and television channels have got the current news in the correct order though. As sad as Amy Winehouse's death may be, this is definitley a more news worthy story.
i'm nearly positive they'll get him a life+ sentence
another aspect that will have some interesting implications is that he's a right wing christian. is this a threat to keep an eye on? i think it's gonna show some of the more close minded folks, who have been giving the arab/muslim world shit, that atrocities like this are just as possible to be committed by "their own" (by which i mean caucasians, conservatives, and/or christians, and so on). it's funny how the media immediately wanted to point the finger at Al-Qaeda and Muslim extremists, and also how this event has been referred to as extremism almost more than terrorism, as if something like this is only terrorism when it's a muslim and/or arab.
