Prison looks better than my apartment and prisoners seem friendlier than my neighbors. I really hope that this is just prison for some white collar criminals, like embezzlers, and for mass murderers they'll have something more that resembles our maximum security prisons.
I just read that he was a member of the "Progress Party". That makes it seem like he was more like a "Progressive".
The Progress Party is a conservative liberal party.
From Wikipedia: "Founded in 1973 largely as an anti-tax movement, the party highly values individual rights and supports the downsizing of bureaucracy and increased market economy, although it also supports an increased use of the uniquely Norwegian Oil Fund to invest in infrastructure. The party in addition seeks a more restrictive immigration policy and tougher integration and law and order measures."
He left the party and criticized them online. The party's immigration policy was apparently way too "soft".
Libertarians are not against government. They are for liberty and as little government interference as possible in our lives. There appears to be no counterpart in the nomenclature used by Europol as they put anarchists along side the left wing.
I know this because I read tons of posts on here.
How can you be for a big government but against the government at the same time?
What you consider left/right in the US is not necessary considered left/right in Europe. E.g. right-winged in the US has a different meaning in Germany.
The politics or motivations, that will all be revealed at some point.
To me, this is just a mad man.
Norway needs to re-institute the death penalty as they did in 1945 and once they have squeezed all they need to out of him and convicted him, they need to sail him out into the ocean, wrap concrete blocks around his feet and send him to the bottom. The thought that this monster could sit in jail for the rest of his life is appalling. He needs to go.
I can only express my sympathy for those that have suffered from this tragedy and those that will for the rest of their lives. It is a totally random, insane incident and I can feel nothing but sadness for Norway today.
"....False flag attacks followed by intense propaganda campaigns are one of several methods used by government to neutralize political opposition.
Breivik is obviously a patsy for a Gladio operation to destroy political opposition to the bankers. Operation Gladio was a “strategy of tension†devised by the elite that employed terrorism – assassination and bombings – to discredit political opponents in Europe. It was set-up by the CIA and staffed in part with former members of Mussolini’s secret police.
In the days ahead, we can expect more false flag terror events. These will be used by the corporate media to portray opponents to the bankster scam as child killing terrorists. For the global elite, mass murder blamed on political opponents is a legitimate tool in the plan to take down national economies and install a one-world totalitarian government and banking system run in neofeudal fashion."
So when someone wants to tar MY desire to maintain and improve a decent environment based on the actions of these wackjobs in SF it kinda gets my dander up too.
Listen, anybody that thinks that their passionate belief is reason enough for them to take up weapons and leave the law of the land behind is a wackjob and needs to be jailed. That's all there is to it.
In the U.S., violence directed towards abortion providers has killed at least eight people, including four doctors, two clinic employees, a security guard, and a clinic escort.[6][7]
March 10, 1993: Dr. David Gunn of Pensacola, Florida was fatally shot during a protest. He had been the subject of wanted-style posters distributed by Operation Rescue in the summer of 1992. Michael F. Griffin was found guilty of Gunn's murder and was sentenced to life in prison.
July 29, 1994: Dr. John Britton and James Barrett, a clinic escort, were both shot to death outside another facility in Pensacola. Rev. Paul Jennings Hill was charged with the killings. Hill received a death sentence and was executed on September 3, 2003.
December 30, 1994: Two receptionists, Shannon Lowney and Lee Ann Nichols, were killed in two clinic attacks in Brookline, Massachusetts. John Salvi was arrested and confessed to the killings. He died in prison and guards found his body under his bed with a plastic garbage bag tied around his head. Salvi had also confessed to a non-lethal attack in Norfolk, Virginia days before the Brookline killings.
January 29, 1998: Robert Sanderson, an off-duty police officer who worked as a security guard at an abortion clinic in Birmingham, Alabama, was killed when his workplace was bombed. Eric Robert Rudolph, who was also responsible for the 1996 Centennial Olympic Park bombing, was charged with the crime and received two life sentences as a result.
October 23, 1998: Dr. Barnett Slepian was shot to death at his home in Amherst, New York. His was the last in a series of similar shootings against providers in Canada and northern New York state which were all likely committed by James Kopp. Kopp was convicted of Slepian's murder after finally being apprehended in France in 2001.
May 31, 2009: Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed by Scott Roeder as Tiller served as an usher at church in Wichita, Kansas.[8]
[edit]Attempted murder, assault, and kidnapping
According to statistics gathered by the National Abortion Federation (NAF), an organization of abortion providers, since 1977 in the United States and Canada, there have been 17 attempted murders, 383 death threats, 153 incidents of assault or battery, and 3 kidnappings committed against abortion providers.[9] Attempted murders in the U.S. included:[6][10][11]
August 19, 1993: Dr. George Tiller was shot outside of an abortion facility in Wichita, Kansas. Shelley Shannon was charged with the crime and received an 11-year prison sentence (20 years were later added for arson and acid attacks on clinics).
July 29, 1994: June Barret was shot in the same attack which claimed the lives of James Barrett, her husband, and Dr. John Britton.
December 30, 1994: Five individuals were wounded in the shootings which killed Shannon Lowney and Lee Ann Nichols.
October 28, 1997: Dr. David Gandell of Rochester, New York was injured by flying glass when a shot was fired through the window of his home.[12]
January 29, 1998: Emily Lyons, a nurse, was severely injured, and lost an eye, in the bombing which also killed Robert Sanderson.
[edit]Arson, bombing, and property crime
According to NAF, since 1977 in the United States and Canada, property crimes committed against abortion providers have included 41 bombings, 173 arsons, 91 attempted bombings or arsons, 619 bomb threats, 1630 incidents of trespassing, 1264 incidents of vandalism, and 100 attacks with butyric acid ("stink bombs").[9] The New York Times also cites over one hundred clinic bombings and incidents of arson, over three hundred invasions, and over four hundred incidents of vandalism between 1978 and 1993.[13] The first clinic arson occurred in Oregon in March 1976 and the first bombing occurred in February 1978 in Ohio.[14] Incidents have included:
December 25, 1984: An abortion clinic and two physicians' offices in Pensacola, Florida were bombed in the early morning of Christmas Day by a quartet of young people (Matt Goldsby, Jimmy Simmons, Kathy Simmons, Kaye Wiggins) who later called the bombings "a gift to Jesus on his birthday."[15][16][17]
May 21, 1998: Three people were injured when acid was poured at the entrances of five abortion clinics in Miami, Florida.[18]
October 1999: Martin Uphoff set fire to a Planned Parenthood clinic in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, causing US$100 worth of damage. He was later sentenced to 60 months in prison.[19]
May 28, 2000: An arson at a clinic in Concord, New Hampshire resulted in several thousand dollars' worth of damage. The case remains unsolved.[20][21][22] This was the second arson at the clinic.[23]
September 30, 2000: John Earl, a Catholic priest, drove his car into the Northern Illinois Health Clinic after learning that the FDA had approved the drug RU-486. He pulled out an ax before being forced to the ground by the owner of the building who fired two warning shots from a shotgun.[24]
June 11, 2001: An unsolved bombing at a clinic in Tacoma, Washington destroyed a wall, resulting in US$6000 in damages.[19]
July 4, 2005: A clinic Palm Beach, Florida was the target of an arson. The case remains open.[19]
December 12, 2005: Patricia Hughes and Jeremy Dunahoe threw a Molotov cocktail at a clinic in Shreveport, Louisiana. The device missed the building and no damage was caused. In August 2006, Hughes was sentenced to six years in prison, and Dunahoe to one year. Hughes claimed the bomb was a "memorial lamp" for an abortion she had had there.[25]
September 13, 2006 David McMenemy of Rochester Hills, Michigan, crashed his car into the Edgerton Women's Care Center in Davenport, Iowa. He then doused the lobby in gasoline and started a fire. McMenemy committed these acts in the belief that the center was performing abortions; however, Edgerton is not an abortion clinic.[26] Time Magazine listed the incident in a "Top 10 Inept Terrorist Plots" list.[27]
April 25, 2007: A package left at a women's health clinic in Austin, Texas, contained an explosive device capable of inflicting serious injury or death. A bomb squad detonated the device after evacuating the building. Paul Ross Evans (who had a criminal record for armed robbery and theft) was found guilty of the crime.[28]
December 6, 2007: Chad Altman and Sergio Baca were arrested for the arson of Dr. Curtis Boyd's clinic in Albuquerque. Altman's girlfriend had scheduled an appointment for an abortion at the clinic.[29][30]
[edit]Anthrax threats
The first hoax letters claiming to contain anthrax were mailed to U.S. clinics in October 1998, a few days after the Slepian shooting; since then, there have been 655 such bioterror threats made against abortion providers. None of the "anthrax" in these cases was real.[10][31]
November 2001: After the genuine 2001 anthrax attacks, Clayton Waagner mailed hoax letters containing a white powder to 554 clinics. On December 3, 2003, Waagner was convicted of 51 charges relating to the anthrax scare.
[edit]
I don't know now.....I do not...nor have I ever supported any of the above action...just az you say you don't support the group that hit us. So xo we then continue to. Point at each of our respective positions az the true problem then? Just as you do not associate yourself and your beliefs with my ....rodent infestation issue....I do not accept any culpability for the ....numerous...issues you felt compelled to cite. I find this type of nonsense as distasteful as you do. The fringes of both spectrums are always the ones that grab headlines now...ain't they? And bingo.....both sides slide down and pile up in the middle. Kewwwwl ain't it......seems to me somebody somewhere may not be as much of a total nut as we might think hmmmm. Ever read Musashi?
Nevertheless if what you are trying to say is an allusion to glass houses and piles of rocks......then maybe we should both take a look in a still pond and see what's lookin' back at us.......is that a fair comment then?
What you consider left/right in the US is not necessary considered left/right in Europe. E.g. right-winged in the US has a different meaning in Germany.
This is true. In Europe a right-wing party can support socialism and nationalism; here in America right-wing rarely means economic socialism.
Most posters on the right don't think that Anarchists are left-winged. Left-winged people are for big government (so they think) whereas anarchists are against any type of government. They would be more similar to Libertarians.
Although the number of Islamist attacks was small, there were 89 attacks thwarted and 179 people arrested for Islamic terrorist offenses.
I think you're reading that incorrectly. There were 89 individuals arrested on suspicion for planning attacks, but actual thwarted attacks count towards the total of 3 (the figure being "Failed, foiled and completed".)
More than one individual can take part in planning an attack, after all, and arrested doesn't mean convicted.
this is the face of terrorism now, a white middle aged male. im not going to be comfortable on a plane unless all whites like this are profiled.
