Frankly when a lot of media outlets were saying "This has all the ear marks of a Islamic/Middle Eastern terror attack"
I face palmed and went "You guys don't remember when you did the same thing for the Oklahoma City Bombing do you?"
I then predicted it would likely be a white/racist/homegrown nutcase

In fairness to the whackjobs at Conservadepia: They have indeed removed it and created what appears to be one the of their site's more factual articles. |

acting out of desire for vengeance solves fucking nothing. Not sure about that - I'm from Dunblane and if I'd got my hands on Thomas Hamilton I would have killed him myself. Which would have accomplished what? Nobody shot would have been brought back. It wouldn't prevent people from doing it again. It wouldn't have helped the families of the victims. All you would be doing is adding to the violence. From this*One never gets even by
retaliation. The revenge spiral keeps continuing,
turning into blood feuds, keeping old wounds
fresh rather than helping them heal. Revenge
always escalates violence, never puts it to rest. *PM me if you want a full text copy |

Correction: Utter spacktards are falling over themselves. Morrissey is an embarrassment to, well, everything really. The smiths sucked arse too. |

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster. And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.

You know what's (not) missing from Beck's comparison of the victims with the Hitler Youth? Someone comparing Breivik with Stauffenberg.
The NPD, Heir to the original Godwin, presents the Reverse Godwin: In a statement addressing calls to ban them after the acts of "the Norwegian farmer", they said: "It has to be reminded that only days ago, the political class of [Germany] celebrated the bombing as a legitimate means of politics", referring to the annual memorial for the plot to assassinate Hitler with a bomb on 20 July 1944.
(Translated by me, as I couldn't find an english news site who reported it).

It wouldn't prevent people from doing it again. It wouldn't have helped the families of the victims. All you would be doing is adding to the violence. Thanks, but I would still have done it: What he did was so horrible to me - I used to see those kids going to school when I went to sign on. Hamilton, cowardly wanker that he was, evaded justice by shooting himself. He carried out an act that hurt a lot of people and left a small village fucked up for all time (let's face it, what do you think when you hear the name 'Dunblane'?). Yes I would have carried out terminal retribution. Would I have gone on? No. Because he was the prick who murdered those children. If you want to think me a monster for saying it, then fine. But I would still have killed him if I'd had the choice. |

Morrissey was last seen disappearing up his own arse sometime in the 1980's. Like most stars of yesteryear, he doesn't seem to realise that he's not as important as he thinks he is. |

www.thedailyshow.com/watch/wed-july-27-2011/in-the-name-of-the-fodder?xrs=share_copy “Obviously, I would have more sympathy for the Fox rapid response team's nuanced concerns if their plea to distinguish violence proclaimed in the name of a religion from the practitioners and tenets of said religion were applied to, let's say, more than just one religion.” - Jon Stewart My sentiments exactly. It seems that I can often depend on Jon Stewart to put what should be painfully obvious in a more comprehensible context for everyone else.

I read the entire thread: Not one of them had the decency to say they were praying for the victims. Sheesh. |
