When you hear there was a terrorist attack, what do you do? I immediately try to guess what happened using my vast knowledge of action movies and generalizations I've made over the years. Yes, as racist as it sounds, most of them involve Muslim Extremists with their thumb on a detonator. But, that's just the way the world is today. I think that way and so do you. And let's be honest, if so many of them didn't try to blow shit up, that wouldn't be the case. So who's really at fault? So until the particulars come out, I blame the Arabs and wait for further instruction. You can imagine my surprise when I found out the details of the latest terror attack in Norway.
First of all, who attacks Norway? Norway just sits there, breeds gorgeous women and minds it's own business. Out of the 196 countries in the World, (195 according to the U.S. who doesn't recognize Taiwan as an independent) I can think of 178 countries more likely to be hit with a terrorist attack. And I can think of a thousand different nationalities of attackers. This guy was Norwegian for Christs sake. Then I heard exactly what he did, and why he did it. That's what really blew my mind.
This guy sets off a number of bombs near Government buildings which sends the country into a frenzy. The Prime Minister was believed to be a victim, but he wasn't in his office at the time and remained unharmed. Where he was is beside the point, let's focus of the fact that he was okay. The bombings did claim a number of lives and left many more trapped under the debris. After that this monster goes to a liberal political youth camp and does something completely unheard of. While dressed as a police officer, he called for all the campers to gather around him. When they came closer he opened fire. Some of the campers, thinking it was a drill, began to run at him. On a side note, what kind of drills are they doing in Norway? Anyway, he ended up killing close to 70 innocent people. And get this; when he was captured he said he wanted a public forum to relay his message. What an asshole.
His message is anti-Muslim and his goal is to stop cultural integration in Europe. I have a couple problems with this whole situation. Obviously the senseless, brutal and completely out of line massacre of innocent civilians is at the top of the list. Right below that is the fact that he has an anti-Muslim agenda and gets every ones attention by blowing up buildings and killing people. I can't understand the killing of innocent people in general, especially teenagers at a god damned summer camp. But you know what I really can't understand? Why would he kill his own country men (and women)? Yea, it was a liberal political youth camp but if you have a problem with Muslims, kill Muslims. Don't kill your own people just because they don't share your crazy anti-integration beliefs.
You know what could be even worse? This guy will plead insanity and get off with some bullshit treatment in a crazy house somewhere. He won't be put to death, beaten, tortured or made an example of. This is one of the most horrific mass murdering sprees in history. Given the size of Norway, this attack was worse than 9-11, as far as the percentage of the population killed. Don't think I'm comparing the two, I'm just stating a fact. He'll get a fair trial and with the insanity plea, he'll never pay for what he did. I'm not against a fair trial, but when someone confesses to something like this, they should be tortured and killed, no questions asked. Maybe it's old fashioned but people that carry out terrorist attacks get way too much freedom these days. I don't want to give this guy too much attention because that's what he wants. I just want to say he's a jerk-off and should be punished severely for what he did. I'll have my fingers crossed, but my gut tells me there's going to be another unpopular ruling pretty soon.
What happened over there was a horrible tragedy. With everything else going on in the world, this really drives home the fact that anything can happen at any time. There were a number of other subjects I was going to write about. The NFL lockout coming to an end, (Marcus Boyd will be covering that this Thursday) Amy Winehouse drinking her last drink and I had something about the kind of car you drive matching the style of driver you are, just to give a few examples. All really good stuff but this was a topic was too important not to blog about. Let me know what you think about the attack, terrorism, Muslims or Norway. I'm going to Washington, D.C. tomorrow, heading over to the homeless shelter and getting a real Hand-job for a Ham Sandwich. I think there is a correlation between the level of hunger and quality of the Hand-job. I'm still researching that, it's a labor intensive process. Official results will published at a later date.
