# and copied from the unabomber and a variety of british newspapers
i heard that bomb go off. i've not been into the centre of town since -- no point at the weekend because it was being patrolled by soldiers and police and everything was shut, and then i've been at work since. but it smashed windows hundreds of metres away. it's changed the feeling of the city quite a bit, and the failings of the norwegian police don't fill anyone with confidence when they say he 'acted alone'.

# Yes - I'm not doubting his apparent laziness or lack of wit.
I'm merely interested to note that the "nutcase" thing doesn't seem to be sticking to him very well, and it's discourse is more indicative of the fear he's generated than of his mental state, I think.

# oh i agree with you
i don't think he's insane at all - not that way. i think he's unhinged, but i don't think he's lost his reason. i just wish the police had had the sense of mind to kneecap the cunt on the island before they arrested him.

i guess i was making a general comment to let off some steam. it's been a stressful kind of week all in all...

# I'm sure it has, and I wish my best for a speedy recovery for all involved. It must be a horrendous experience.

# Particularly for Norway
They're totally unprepared for anything like this. For me it brings back a lot of memories from when I was young, sitting watching telly and seeing more news about the IRA. That doesn't make it any less unpleasant, of course.

The media in Britain are reporting that he'll only get 21 years, btw. That's not entirely true. He'll get 21 years... plus a recommendation that it be renewed in 5 year blocks if the judge feels it's warranted. With this guy, I think we can guarantee that they will.
