A huge loss to the metal scene. RIP.

In a way that's pretty metal, a crossbow I mean.Danish meathead turned Islamist killed a bunch of people with a crossbow.
Who even thinks to compare 5 people to 77? Eighteen months ago, when a bearded Norwegian clapped a pub patron in the ear, was that the worst attack at that time since the massacre of 77 people ten years ago?It was the worst attack in Norway since far-right extremist Anders Breivik massacred 77 people a decade ago.
What happened in Norway?
For 5 people. I take it you don't live in the US.Holy crap that is horrible.
He looks a lot like a guy who helped us move back in 1995. Later my mom became friends with his mom. And later he and another guy got high on cocaine and killed a prostitute. He later was executed and chose the electric chair.On a side note, the attacker's photo gives off vibes of Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket.
What were his other choices?He later was executed and chose the electric chair.
Brandon Wayne Hedrick and Trevor Jones?He looks a lot like a guy who helped us move back in 1995. Later my mom became friends with his mom. And later he and another guy got high on cocaine and killed a prostitute. He later was executed and chose the electric chair.
Yup. Crazy story.Brandon Wayne Hedrick and Trevor Jones?
Christ
If you think about it, lots of people don't get to choose how they go.what were they, you sonovabitch
Maybe kind of. He's a white guy who converted to islam, which tends to be the worst kind of ilsamic extremist. Kind of like Chapelle's observation about the one white guy in a black gang. But apparently (and maybe not coincidentally) mental illness may be involved. So who knows? Maybe there was some agenda in his head. But in the real world, it may have been just random chaos.Was this actually a terrorist attack? IE was the violence in the name of furthering some political change?
I do live in the US. Murder, nevermind a terror attack of any kind in Norway is almost unheard of. I live in New Orleans. Our murder rate is unbelivable. And the amount of innocent people and especially children killed here is unreal. Whenever I hear of anyone being killed I feel bad because life is fragile and I see and hear about it everyday. I'm just weary of people not valuing human life. It's senseless.For 5 people. I take it you don't live in the US.
