Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
am I the only one bothered by the fact the media paints him as a "right wing extremist" instead of a nutjob?
gives the right wing a bad color
If the perp was against leftists/communists, you would think he'd be wiping out communists.
Shooting people and kids in a camp is hardly a political statement, it's more like dementia.
this is just terrible, i dont know of any punishment that he really deserves

He was a neo nazi. He IS a right wing extremist. They exist, just like there are left wing extremists. Tim McVeigh was a right wing extremist as well.Originally Posted by Byte Stryke
He was very anti labour party. Basically unions and liberals. The summer camp was for kids of labour party members. His justification, I'd assume, is they were the next generation of what he viewed as the problem.
Has he left a manifesto or anything else explaining what in particular he is unhappy with?
"There are no finger prints under water."
He created a twitter account last week and put a single post on it.
According to the Wikipedia page he was a big fan of Anti-Nazis ... and this is why the left/right paradigm falls apart ... Nazis are almost the same thing as Communists ... therefore the extreme right and extreme left are right next to each other and everything else is off where? Some obtuse angle?
Anyway, like McVeigh this guy was likely a pseudo-politically motivated wackjob ... right, left, up, down ... the more important label is "wackjob".
Well whatever political freedom was left in Norway will likely be over because of this.

...giving right wing bad color is exactly what main media over there wants to do. Not just Norway´s problem, though.
Media has the right to publish.....as long as it complies with government goals
The comments for the Fox News article are enough to melt your mind. Half the people posting there are blaming muslims, the other half are blaming the tea party. It's a black hole for stupidity. Intelligence cannot escape.
I try not to read comments over there.
Assuming it was Muslims in the beginning made sense because 1) More often than not this kind of thing is Muslims and 2) Some Norwegian Muslim group claimed responsibility (and then a couple hours later retracted their claim). But at this point, anyone still trying to hang this one on the muzzies is just dim.
As for "blaming the tea party" ... I expect that will stick in the MSM (maybe not specifically the US Tea Party, but definitely those right of center). I expect this will be used as one of the justifications for pushing for a new AWB here (although I expect that to fail).
