“This is what happens when Socialist countries start to grab guns. “Licensed” means confiscation and gun owners are afraid to carry for fear of losing their gun rights.”

Actually, over there, I think “licensed” simply means that you can have a gun in your house (which is also true, I think, in a few very left-wing areas of the US). Forget about concealed carry.

I'm fairly certain the website I posted IS connected to the perp. Following the links in it I come to a magazine - not sure where it's from - that has a picture of the Sello mall.

There is also this:

"I am a 44-kosovo-albansk årig åbnede mand i dag flere fremmed ild mod i et indkøbscenter i Finland og dræbte fire."

That's from google translateion. I have no idea what did not get translated.

"A Pew Research Center demographic study from 2009 put the percentage of Muslims in Albania at 79.9%."

Statistically, there's a 4 in 5 chance the perp is a muzzie.

Finland is a tad different than the rest of Europe. For one thing the Russians stole half their territory in the 1940s. For another thing they keep a lot of military grade weapons around in the hands of the people.

Then there's the language thing ~ did you see how that stuff translates on the computer translation systems ~ wow ~ you still need a dictionary to break it down.

No doubt this forces the Russians to keep a cadre of Finnish language specialists on standby "just in case".

Strong rumour
“My sources tell me that Ibrahim Shkupolli is a UCK veteran, for those of you who don’t know what UCK is, UCK = Kosovo Liberation Army. He killed 32 serbian civilians in Qela 1997.”
