Oslo Bombing

[SCcoug]

Anyone else following this story? It is now being calling a bombing. So far 2 confirmed dead but it sounds like expectations are for "a lot" of casualties. Also reports of a gunman as well.

Sounds like the gunman is at a youth camp. Several have been shot and gunman still shooting. This is crazy.

If there really are muslim sleeper cells in the US, there's absolutely nothing stopping similar events here (I know I'm racist for assuming these guys are muslim). REAL terror would be caused by a relatively small number of more or less random attacks happening every few days at schools, malls, non-government office buildings, quiet neighborhoods, etc. These would be essentially impossible to stop.

Remember the utter chaos caused by the DC sniper? Imagine that, but with a few DC snipers in each major metro area of the US -a couple random killings in the country each day. As one gunman is caught, another from the cell takes over. A cell of 10 - 15 terrorists could drag out their reign of terror for a LONG time. There would be chaos. And Political Correctness would make everything worse. You'd have neighborhood militias forming to take matters into their own hands.

I'm kind of surprised it hasn't happened...

It's fairly frightening unless you have well-armed citizens.

You make Eeyore look like a veritable ray of sunshine.

My step-brother works two blocks from where the bombing occurred. Luckily he worked from home today.

[SCcoug]

Eyewitnesses are reporting 20-25 dead at the youth camp shooting. Horrible.

One thing that statman does well is henny penny impersonations. Also, he likes to shit on people's civil rights, but that's their hard time for being Muslim in America.

[BigPiney]

Did anyone here ever watch Britz? It was a great portrayal from 2 points of view of sibling Muslims in Britain and how they went in completely different ways. Now there are a lot more Muslims per capita over there, but it showed how easily someone could be recruited to extremism and the problems they could cause. Very interesting.

How did you get that from his comment, Great Banana of the South?

wuap is one of those Born Again Liberals. He thinks he needs to find something offensive in anything a conservative says.

Statman and Live Coug -- separated at birth.

He likes to shit on people's opinions that differ from his, but that's their hard time for being a conservative.

Better to shit on opinions than to shit on civil rights.

according to KSL, death toll now at 87: 7 from the bombing and 80 kids at the youth camp. Both targeting the PM and his party (youth camp was sponsored by the PM's political party). And according to the NYT, muslims are taking credit.

Apparently a muslim cleric was pissed that they were actually going to deport him for preaching venomous hate (HOW DARE THEY!?!?). He said earlier this week that if the pesky Norse continued, Allah would have his retribution.

Apparently he wasn't kidding.

I guess mentioning this is the same as shitting on people's civil rights. Hate speech and all...
