Re: Norway: Terror attacks
 

I don't think speculation is pointless and by definition it's something done before the full facts of any subject or event are known. We do it all the time about all sorts of things (the Eurozone problems for example) and forums like this will be pretty thin if we all stop (although that would of course reduce your workload a bit ;)). At this stage we're still speculating about the motives behind this guy's apparent actions. IMHO reasonable speculation is fine as long as it isn't presented as fact in spite of all the evidence to the contrary and/or deliberately used to promote hate.

And thats why l thought it was important not to mention any potential groups or persons when l first posted as these things can change very quickly as more facts become known and revealed.

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
 

This is dreadful. :(

I hope they get the person who did this.

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
 

Take all the speculation out of the NOTW thread and there's not much left. ;)

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
 

l suppose you are right about that thread but in this thread l thought it was important not to tar any ethnic group with the bombing before the facts were known.:)

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
 

Probably my failing memory but I can't remember any similar cases of mass shootings where the perp has actually been caught alive.

RIP to all the victims and heartfelt sympathy to the families. :(

One of the Mumbai terrorists was captured and there was a shooting at a US army base a couple of years ago where the shooter was arrested but it is a rarity.

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
 

Sky news has said there are 98 people who are now confirmed dead in Norway.

Billy Bragg made, IMHO, a good point on his Facebook page

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
 

where the hell do they get Al-Quaeda from ,talk about jumping the gun ,or just plain making things up .
I see everything is back to normal at News International :rolleyes:

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
 

Just plain making things up.

They put Al-Qaeda in quotes, so that makes it alright, 'apparently'......

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
 

Might have had some thing to do with that Global jihad message, think a lot of news organisations took it as legit and ran with it.

NRK is reporting that an unknown group called "Helpers of the Global Jihad" have posted a message that this is only the beginning of the reaction to Norwegian periodicals publishing the Muhammed cartoons, according to Andrew Boyle, a journalist in Norway.

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
 

My sympathy and condolences go to the norweigen people in this terrible time and i hope the pain is as shortlived as possible for all those families. As to the person who committed this and any others that may be responsible i don't care right now all thoughts should be with the victims and their families.

Re: Norway: Terror attacks
 

Ugh, The Sun, more like "The Sewer".

The more I read the stupid headlines these scummy newspapers put out, the more I despise them.

As for the topic at hand, a very sad day, very shocking.

I can't understand how someone could do such a thing.
