He bought a ticket and went in with everyone else. Then he went out through the exit, propped the door, came back in with the guns.

Roughly a year after Breivik slaughtered his way through Utøya. One wonder if it was deliberately matched....?

A hideous act in any case, and a truly sad day. This week sure has been bad for good ol' Earth, let's hope a quick recovery for all wounded.

Just refer to him as "a gunman" instead of his name.

Wouldn't it be better to refer to him by name but insist that every use of his name has the words "stupid pathetic loser" attatched(or words to that effect)

The names of perpetrators should not be withheld, so that the public knows whom to put the shame on.

What would be welcomed, though, is the media acting with more self-restraint in general. Less glitter. Less giving-them-a-stage. Less talkshows putting the victim-perpetrator-role 180° around, and distorting guilt by endlessly discussing it and trying to learn why a perpetrator became what he became. For too many media, such reasonable consideration serves only as an alibi to surf on such stories as long as possible.

Does this state still have the death penalty then?

Good question. Hope so.

Tragedy within a tragedy, this young lady experienced a similar shooting before.

Her Twitter feed shows how excited she was to see the film.

That's the real nature of "chance" demonstrated: everything is possible. But it must feel grim for her parents and friends, no doubt.

Saw a pic of her in German news. Very friendly eyes, it appeared to me. Details like this give abstract events happening to strangers a personal face, suddenly.

Meanwhile it was reported for some time that the attacker indeed should have said something that he were "Joker". Police denied that soon after. But that he maybe saw himself as a real adversary to fictional Batman was the first thing that came to my mind, without any special reason.
