There's no death that isn't worth exploiting to score political points!

Keep in mind that when the population of Norway is taken into account this mass shooting would be the equivalent of a shooting with nearly 100 fatalities in the United States.

In terms of deaths from mass shootings per capita, it’s exactly how it works.

Is this a reference to Utoya? That was more than a decade ago

If you want to see his face:



While British and American already confirmed that he's a Persian terrorist, our woke tax-funded German state TV still refuses to report that fact and still refers to him as a NoRwEgIaN EiNzElTäTeR. 🤬



That Melvin is a dyed-in-wool Social Democrat, and in the Tweet on the right he asks when RiGhTiStS are finally going to understand that they are to adhere to the principle of living and letting live. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Well, some of us are old enough to recall when the European far right and Islamists made common cause. And yes, that could easily happen again.

Maybe in UK, Albania and Turkey, but in the rest of Europe it’s not going to happen.

While it's terrible that this happened, Norway is going to enact stricter gun control laws after this. It shows that their system works infinitely better than ours, in which gun purchases accelerate after every high-profile mass shooting.

Alain Soral and Dieudonné's thing in France is a stand out example of it right now. Uniting white identitarians and islamists over their joint hatred of the jews.

Norway actually leads the world in mass shooting fatalities with 1.8 deaths per 1M population.  The rate in the U.S. is 0.089.

That is a statistical anomaly caused by Otoya.

Low population combined with a mass shooting involving 77 people. So not an effective comparison.

This event looks similar to the Florida night club shooting.

42 yo Iranian man involved either despised gay men or, more likely, was secretly gay causing cognitive dissonance.

That's actualy a big myth about the Orlando shooting, the shooter doesn't seem to have been gay as he had multiple hetrosexual affairs and in fact the night club was a targeted after a google search for night clubs.

There is a legitimate question why Norway differ from Denmark and Sweden on this. Norway have had four deadly terror attack the last 12 years (two right wing, one Islamic and one with unclear motives[1]), Sweden has had two (a right wing and a Islamic one) and Denmark one (Islamic). The Norwegian attacks has also been deadlier. Some of the reason can be that SÄPO and PET are better or have more resources than PST.

[1] Deranged lunatic who had converted to Islam, but didn’t really came with a coherent reason.

This is an incredibly sad incident all-around. But other than that (what should be) obvious thought that any rational human should have (you know, not DT or TheReckoning) I came to same conclusion as you did. Norway is going to embarrass us at how efficient and practical they are with how their government reacts to a horror like this.

However, also expect an uptick in xenophobic reaction to this as well, unfortunately. Even in the most cultivated societies you still can never completely avoid reactionaries.
