    One teacher died of his wounds at the scene.
    Two male students, aged 11 and 15, and another teacher were rushed to hospital.
    One of the boys has since died.

    Absolutely horrible to hear.

    This is supposedly him posing in the school before he started attacking.

    At least it wasn't a Swedish attack in Swords! I've heard meatballs can be deadly!

    He is clearly wearing a Hijab there.

    I love the ads at the top of the screen to fly to Scandinavia. And get my head cut off? no thanks. It's well known that the antiseptic unbringing of the Swedes & Norwegians leads them to very odd acts of violence.

    Actually, they were among the most harmonious and safe societies in the world prior to mass immigration from the third world.

    ...well if you'd been birthed into a tank of Dettol and kept there until 4 you'd be a bit annoyed too, I suppose.

    Tbh, this sounds like a single madman on a rampage rather than anything political/immigration/blah blah.
    The use of a sword is quite weird.
    And is that a old German helmet he's wearing?

    I'd much rather see people pushing agendas here than following your lead and using dead children for laughs.

    Anders Breivik is scandinavian.

    For a thread that is relatively new, I've had to delete alot of posts already. Stick to the topic please.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,100 ✭✭✭Autonomous Cowherd


    I do not understand people making jokes. This is awful. Imagine what it would be like if it happened here in Waterford or Drogheda, towns with a similar(ish) population. Poor child of 11 and a teacher, and other children stabbed. What a dreadful event. How can people be ironic hearing such a thing? It is terrible for all schoolchildren and teachers in Sweden as they must be sad, shocked and frightened. RIP to the victims.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,097 ✭✭✭Herb Powell


    ****ing hell this is a creepy story.

    Well said! I'm not easily offended, but making sick jokes for nothing more than a few "Thanks" is quite disturbing indeed.

    Rte saying the attacker had far right leanings.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 23,495 ✭✭✭✭Billy86


    I do not know if the article has been fleshed out since it was posted here, but with regards to ideology, it says the following:
    Local media have reported that the suspect's accounts on Facebook and YouTube suggest an interest in Hitler and Nazi Germany. In a photo given to media by a student at the school, he appears to be wearing a black trench coat and a helmet resembling those worn by German troops in World War Two.

    Horrible, horrible story, though. :(

    If the reports of far right leanings turn out to be true, then I wouldn't be surprised if this loon was inspired by the likes of Anders Breivik.

    It was a result of him being completely insane and nothing else.

    Christ. Even when it's not the immigrants, it's the immigrants, right?

    Some people are just prejudiced, simple as. Was the teacher a migrant, the dead student? The other injured student?

    If not, local person kills local person = blame foreign people.

    If yes, then feel free to go up to an immigrant working in a shop or cafe when you get the chance and stab them in the face. It's their own fault, if they had not moved here you would not have been able to stab them.

    Sure it's their fault we got knocked out of the rugby world cup over the weekend. Fact. F***ing immigrants.

    This is one incident. I'd say you very likely wouldn't get your head cut off if you went to Scandinavia.

    As the US gun control people might say:

    "If the teachers and staff had swords, then this could have been prevented"

    I think you mean Anti-Gun control. As tragic as this is look what happens when mad man goes on the rampage in a country with reasonable gun controls and more importantly without the perverse blase attitudes many Americans have to just leaving guns around the house.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,630 ✭✭✭dublinman1990


    What a dreadful and horrific story. To think about that is just horrible.

    RIP to all the victims who had died in this attack. Best wishes to the victims who had survived with their injuries.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,034 ✭✭✭✭PopePalpatine


    I wouldn't be surprised if the attacker visited the dank, sweaty basement of the Internet that worships Breivik.

    It was a result of him being completely insane and nothing else.

    Wrong and a very simplistic understanding of psychology.
    Two teams of court-appointed forensic psychiatrists examined Breivik before his trial. The first report diagnosed Breivik as having paranoid schizophrenia.[20] A second psychiatric evaluation was commissioned following widespread criticism of the first.[21] The second evaluation was published a week before the trial; it concluded that Breivik was not psychotic during the attacks nor during the evaluation.[22] He was instead diagnosed as having narcissistic personality disorder.[23] His trial began on 16 April 2012, with closing arguments made on 22 June 2012.[24]

    On 24 August 2012, the Oslo District Court issued findings that Breivik was sane, and guilty of murdering 77 people.
    Christ. Even when it's not the immigrants, it's the immigrants, right?

    His main motive was multiculturalism and mass immigration, hence the reason why he wrote a manifesto about it.

    I wasn't trying to offend anyone, and I don't care, no one in their right mind goes and does what that excuse for human life did.

    Trollhatten I had to check what website I was on when I read that.

    Ok. I know the point of that post was to portray me as a horrible racist and you as a fabulous liberal but, if you are still there answer one question... Would any of us have heard of Anders Breivik were it not for mass immigration to Scandinavian countries?

    If he had killed people, then yeah. Bizzare.

    I don't need to do any portraying, like.

    Also, I will point out that I was the foremost and most fervent critic of the posts mocking the victims of these murders until the mods saw fit to delete my posts.

    I will back you up on that, but I don't think that's why some of the posts were removed.

    Shocking, but we're only going to see more of these type of attacks, given the massive influx of immigrants coming into Europe with no end in sight.

    So what you're trying to say is that you believe the mostly non-white immigrants coming to Europe are believers in such ideals as white supremacy, racial purity and anti immigration?

    It is true that we are going to see more and more violence. It is happening already.

    If you put a group of large people with different values into an area it usually causes violence and upheaval.

    I think the Balkans are now a good example of good neighbours with strong borders.

    Maybe some of the people here would like to go back to Yugoslavia and have them happily living together like in the early 1990s?

    That worked well :rolleyes:

    That worked well :rolleyes:

    So you basically agree with me that putting lots of whites into South Africa caused issues there?

    Or are you agreeing with me in that the current situation in South Africa is something that Europe might have to look forward to????

    Aside from posting videos...Do you have opinions?

    Do yourself a favour, and go educate yourself on the differences between immigration and colonialism.

    Ha...I can't lower myself to your dumbness.

    I am far more educated on history than you.

    How do you think the Roman Empire ended?

    What is happening now was written in the 1973 novel The Camp of the Saints.
