I'm now getting reports on my Facebook of friends of friends shot at the Labor Party youth camp.

Conversely, it seems that the poster you are responding to simply pointed out that Jaggy (and a slew of other left wing forum regulars) had previously assigned blame to Sarah Palin/right wingers for a tragedy before any details had emerged other than the fact that it had happened. Thus, it was somewhat unusual for that same poster to turn around and claim that doing such a thing is wrong, too early, unwarranted, etc. on this thread under essentially the same conditions.

Just an observation. This does not mean I endorse and or support either side of the argument or jumping to conclusions in general.

Someday, hopefully soon, someone in europe with an IQ over 4 will stand up and say: "ENOUGH"! and start deporting the arab muslims en masse - particularly those on welfare who screech against the West - and whoring themselves before the arabs by hammering Israel at every opportunity. Perhaps someday...
Yes, don't let any tragedy go to waste.

Yes....(nods)

A coordinated attack. Blown up prime minister's building.... shoots up the youth camp he sponsors.

Someone trying to overthrow the government today?
and the PM was expected to attend at some point.

I'm am endlessly grateful that most of my Norwegian brothers and sisters have more integrity and common sense than you.

We WILL NOT let some cowardice attack change who we are and what we believe in.

Attacks like this is a price one has to be prepared to pay when one engage in several wars. Immigration has nothing to do with this, and you should be ashamed of yourself for implicating peaceful citizens of my nation in act of this magnitude.

Grow up.

Maybe you could enlighten me with a link since the only train station attack I could find was a bomb threat in 2010.
