To people not knowlegable of firearms any rapid fire is probably going to make them think automatic.

A semi-auto handgun can be fired very rapidly so it doesnt have to be a full auto.

Which just shows how statistics can be used to prove anything.
But common sense, and nothing more, says otherwise in this case.

Hounds of War?. ‘Hounds of hell’ is a reference to extreme righteous anger and a heightened sense of injustice. The point is..this will certainly not weaken anyone’s resolve as previously stated.

I read that he was an “ethnic Norwegian”. What is an ethnic Norwegian?

Someone of real Norwegian stock, as opposed to an ethnic Middle Easterner whose family had emigrated to Norway. For instance, if this act had been perpetrated by an Arab Muzzie who happened to be a citizen of Norway, it would have done, technically, by a "Norwegian," but not by an *ethnic* Norwegian (the kind you would normally think of as a Norwegian).

Would you be more or less alert after the initial explosion?

You're assuming there's anybody to BE alert. We don't even know if anyone on the island knew about the Oslo bombing.

I just don't get the astonishment that the island didn't have security. Lets say a bomb goes off in downtown DC; 90 minutes later, is some summer camp for kids in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia going to be on some sort of security alert with armed guards at all the entrances?

the ability to move the necessary ammunition and firepower to carry out the attack on the island.

One video news clip I saw showed a van he'd brought onto the island. The ferry operators are said to have bought his story that he'd come to check on the island because of the blast in Oslo.

Muslims are not at the heart of EVERY diabolical act carried out in the world. 90%+ maybe, but not all.

Agree with you on that... however... they are obviously suspect since there was warnings prior to this happening in Oslo., that a Muslim terroist attack could occur and reported earlier on some Islamic Terroists sites, reported as so.

I understand some in the community have been irritated with the lack of security for these types of happenings. Though we'll likely hear a great deal of reporting that may just be dis-information as well.

Mesta Machine is generally onto these things and likely in the know as things are investigated. I'm awaiting to hear her take on the situation.

Common sense as in vague guessing without evidence?

Common sense is routinely wrong. That's why science exists. "Common sense" says something 10 times heavier than another object falls 10 times faster. It doesn't.

I dread reading having to read the explanations of experts of all kinds, all of which (the explanations) will try to avoid stating the obvious, whatever it is (I dunno.)

Lots of people will cash in on this tragedy, make no mistake about it. Gravy train leaving the station, woo, woo!

Nobody’s willing to say, hell, f**k, I dunno! Everybody, here and there, knows!

Everybody, except me and my monkey, as a long and deservedly forgotten rock band once sang.

That’s where my thinking is headed. After the blasts by islamic terrorists in Oslo, he went and killed the kid
who were the next government in his opinion.

two hours is a long time between the island attack and the initial bomb attack. Thanks for the information. Appears someone should have noticed something unusual?

Look mate.
I do see your point. However, it is not quite as you think.

I am posting that, because the posts I am reading from him are utterly normal.

He even seems like a bit of wuss to me. I am more aggressively right wing than him. He thinks the English Defense League are a bunch of thugs.

I post the “he would have fitted in here”, because there was not a single thing from his post. NOT ONE THING that hinted towards what the creep was going to do. He seemed like a run of the mill conservative concerned about Islamic immigration and such things. He wanted to help start a printed alternative to the msn. A Norwegian Washington Times. That seemed to be his project. Not slaughter.

If you are afraid of getting labeled? What the hell to you think people like me are? I am a regular poster at one of the places he frequents.

But, as I said I do take your point and will stop making that reference. I hope you now got what I meant by that though.

Cheers,

Euro.

87,000 terrorists need to see Allah. I really don’t give a flying bleep which 87,000. Just find 87,000 terrorist at random and kill them and bury them in pig skin. Any 87,000 will do. Hezbollah. Hamas. Al Qaeda. PLO. I don’t give a rat’s ass. Pick 87,000, any 87,000.

Other pictures on your link as well....hard to see those kids under sheets...and read some of their accounts...fear ruled as one would imagine. Hiding in trees...under mattresses...just awful!

Witnesses said they heard him saying:

‘This is just the beginning.’

So you’re assuming the officials in Norway have the wrong guy?
