    He held a belief and was willing to risk his life and freedom to act on it. Obviously his opinions and beliefs don't coincide with the vast majority of people and his actions were inexcusable and completely immoral, but he did believe he was doing the right thing.

    In this instance I don't have respect for him because I believe he's a narcissist with views completely out of touch with reality but in instances such as the fundamentalist religious (Islamic and Christian) I can see the parallel of soldiers fighting for what they believe in.

    I don't condone their actions in any way but I can respect their selflessness in risking their lives to further a cause they view to be beneficial to society (e.g. Army of God). It's not uncommon to hear soldiers who fought in war to have respect for enemy soldiers, they have different ideologies and their actions are inexcusable to each other but the respect is there.

    I think you just worded what I meant to say in a much better way.

    He clearly has a decent level of intelligence regardless of his manifesto, as I put it earlier on the thread his choice of target alone was perfect for the plan he was about to carry out. He is certainly streets ahead of the others who just go to a school/shopping centre and start shooting randomly.

    Yeah but random shooters usually have no motives or goals. According to his manifesto this guy apparently had plenty. It doesn't take a genius to realise that a small Island filled with kids would inflict terror. The diversionary explosion, dressed as a law enforcement officer. It's all pretty basic stuff that you could figure out yourself of garner from a show like 24 or Criminal Minds or any RTS videogame.

    This guy is a deranged nutjob. His manifesto is plagiarised from numerous sources. He is a fantascist and I seriously doubt he is part of any organisation at all.

    Unfortunately he had money and time to plan this out and the reason the death toll was so high is the people were more or less captive on that island so he could take his time.

    He should spent the rest of his life behind bars with images of those whose lives he snuffed out so early in his face every waking hour.

    He did this to get attention and for people to read his manifesto, it worked. Don't think he's lying when he says there's others involved.

    I don't believe he believed he was doing the right thing. He knows he did something immoral as evidenced by his acknowledgments that his acts were 'gruesome'. I believe through the power of cognitive dissonance he convinced himself he should do these things - but somewhere inside he knows he did something wrong.

    Like many terrorists. The bit of 'respect' I have for him is that he gave himself up... unlike those closer to home who liked to stick a bomb in a bin and made sure they were well away before blowing up a couple of kids for instance, and wouldn't have the conviction to give themselves up for trial/imprisonment.

    Strangely enough, he had discussed many times that A Justicier Knight would never surrender and that, maybe, if he was caught alive:
    I have been thinking about my post-operational situation, in case I survive a successful
    mission and live to stand a multiculturalist trial. When I wake up at the hospital, after
    surviving the gunshot wounds inflicted on me, I realize at least for me personally, I will be
    waking up to a world of ****, a living nightmare. Not only will all my friends and family
    detest me and call me a monster; the united global multiculturalist media will have their
    hands full figuring out multiple ways to character assassinate, vilify and demonize. They
    will possibly do everything they can to distort the truth about me, KT and our true
    objectives, and attempt to make even revolutionary conservatives detest me. They will
    label me as a racist, fascist, Nazi-monster as they usually do with everyone who opposes
    multiculturalism/cultural Marxism. However, since I manifest their worst nightmare
    (systematical and organized executions of multiculturalist traitors), they will probably just
    give me the full propaganda rape package and propagate the following accusations:
    pedophile, engaged in incest activities, homosexual, psycho, ADHD, thief, non-educated, inbred, maniac, insane, monster etc. I will be labeled as the biggest (Nazi-)monster ever witnessed since WW2.

    I don't think he's confused, insane or any of that.
    He's just very very very wrong.

    Who said he was a genius? You can be intelligent without being a genius.

    Colloquial expression. I wasn't saying that he's not Genius, I'm saying that any auld fool could conceive of that plan. It's not rocket science. :)

    I’ve spent a total of 9 years of my life working on this project. The first five years were
    spent studying and creating a financial base, and the last three years was spent working
    full time with research, compilation and writing. Creating this compendium has personally
    cost me a total of 317 000 Euros (130 000 Euros spent from my own pocket and 187 500
    Euros for loss of income during three years). All that, however, is barely noticeable
    compared to the sacrifices made in relation to the distribution of this book, the actual
    marketing operation ;)

    "Marketing operation". Kind of sums up why so many died in one line.. Freaky smilie face.

    Book of condolence

    Updated: 16:39, Monday, 25 July 2011

    A book of condolence for the victim's of Friday's attacks has been opened at the Norwegian Embassy in Dublin.

    It will be available for signing tomorrow from midday until 2pm at the embassy on Molesworth Street.

    http://www.rte.ie/news/2011/0725/oslo.html

    So that's 12pm to 2pm on Tuesday 26th July 2011 at the Norwegian Embassy in Molesworth Street, Dublin.

    Also, it seems that the overall death-toll has been revised down to 76.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,314 ✭✭✭sink


    I see the total known death toll has been revised down quiet a bit to 76. 68 on the Island and presumably 8 in Oslo. Still doesn't take much away from the horror of it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21,191 ✭✭✭✭Latchy


    His anger it seems wasn't directed at Muslims but thoses who tolerated Muslims so he decides to massacre so many of his fellow young countrymen and women , although it would not matter a jot who or what country /religion they were of .His actions are of a pretty warped, seriously disturbed,grade A nutjob.

    It's not rocket science but it's not run of the mill angry-at-the-world shooter scenario either. I think you over estimate any auld fool tbh.

I believe through the power of cognitive dissonance he convinced himself he should do these things - but somewhere inside he knows he did something wrong.

    He considers those killed to be cultural Marxists, the worst kind of traitors in his opinion. I'm sure there is some remorse but he feels the deaths were completely justified given his position, unless of course he's a sociopath*.

    *He may not be a sociopath.

    @Malty_T;
    The Manifesto is well written and covers pretty much anything and everything. His plan for the shootings was just to spread it, he picked the simplest and most gruesome way to get it out there, he didn't over-complicate anything and it he executed it well. The guy is not your run-of-the-mill shooter, he was pretty organised and had planned this for years. That takes patience and intelligence.

    He definitely had a higher degree of intelligence than you're average shooter. He always talked about in the manifesto how he hated lying and had good friends of various ethnic background.

    This shooting was not because he hated ethnic groups but that he hated those "traitors" that wanted to destroy Europe by allowing multicultralism and ignore a country's solidarity.

    He saw it as the death of a nation's unique culture and identity, something that boiled inside him for years. He lists his friends, all of which he was disgusted by their stance of boycotting Israel and supporting multicultralism. He referred to many of them as hypocrites.

    A spokesman said the higher, but incorrect, figure emerged as police and rescuers were focusing on helping survivors and securing the area.

    That's how. They were releasing numbers when the rescue and evacuation was still in progress. Possibly counted some bodies twice in the mayhem

    I assume there were mistakes on the body count, double reporting etc,. It's a pretty chaotic situation so nothing should be taken as a certainty.
