In fairness, no one here who accused Sarah Palin of the Tuscon shooting admitted they were wrong either.
Sick deflection, bro.
This is why you wait to find out what really happened before popping off at the mouth. Of course, everyone who posted that this was the work of Muslims will still think Muslims are evil, so it is what it is.
Honestly, I'm flabbergasted at the body count? 80? That's astonishing. Sad day.
We need to teach people that if you are involved in a mass shooting incident everybody needs to try to attack the shooter. They will have a much better chance of disarming the shooter(s) if they work together.

They were kids, most of them aging between 12 and 18 years old.
They were facing what they at first thought was a police officer with an assault rifle, shotgun and a semi automatic handgun. They didn't stand a chance.
You are incorrect on #1 and #2, there was much more to it. You need to do your homework, seriously.
I will not attack Norway on the very day she has suffered such a great loss of innocent life. Pointing the finger of conjecture saves no ones' lives today. Obviously, YMMV
There were lessons to be learned by OKC, by attacks upon Israeli school children, and the attacks that created the terror at Beslan, and again today on the island in Norway in regard to the safekeeping of children. Sadly, much of the Western world still ignores those lessons.
I don't give any validity to conspiracy theories with regard to Malvo (Nation of Islam) and McVeigh (Disillusioned Christian) being operatives for Al Quaeda. There is zero factual evidence that either of them had ties to organized Islamic terrorism that motivated their attacks on Americans.
I will continue to give my opinion on any subject I see fit to comment on and will not mince my words I don't give a fig for being "politically correct".
The Norwegian dirtbag homegrown extremist flew under the radar and organized the construction, or purchase and placement of a bomb with enough force to blow out a city block. Anyone in the USA buying a quantity that large of an explosive ingredient is watched by the authorities. Unfortunately that doesn't happen in Norway. I wonder if they continue to fly blind until their next terrorist attack - domestic or imported.
If there was ever a reason to loan Norway a gas chamber or electric chair this would be it.
Though one could say we appreciate the sentiment, if there's one thing we as Norwegians need to do now, it's to stand for what we believe in, for the society we want, and for the ethics we wish to live by.
This man should be put to trial, convicted if guilty and sentenced to the full extent of the law, as it is now, which means detention for life.
That is who we are, that is what we stand for and that is what we need to do.

Sometimes people on the right do bad things, and sometimes people on the left do bad things.
Sometimes that upsets certain people, who invent new 'realities' to believe, mostly to make themselves feel better. I used to work with a guy who didn't like the OKC reality -- so he invented a reality he liked better. His reality? Bill Clinton was behind it.

The situation just sickens me. How can you murder 70+ plus kids in cold blood? This is a sick sick individual that did this.
But I just can't help but think that a small number of the 600+ kids on that island could have gotten together and rushed the shooter to disarm him. The death count would be much less.
