I really don’t get this. The press is able to get good pictures of these events from the sky and no one is able to get a sniper up there to pick him off?
and they could not have got a police sniper on the chopper?
just damm
One striking thought is that the shooter was unconcerned that he was being observed by the media helicopter. You’d think he’d be shooting at it as well. But, no. He wanted photos out in the world.
So, there is a propaganda angle. Whose? On the one hand, I get a sort of Assange vibe from this guy personally. Assange was, what, a sort of anarcho-somthing or other? Breivik does not look like a conservative, a fundamentalist or a Christian, he looks like an ageing urban hipster-wannabee in the photos I’ve seen, rather effete.
OK, so we have an element of staging for effect. We have a very recent, three day old Facebook page, not just in English but in the American idiom. Guns, purported conservative fundamentalist Christian, terrorist attack. Right down the line on the DHS narrative.
IMHO, he’s militant leftist and wanted to discredit his enemies, to provoke a backlash against them, is where I’m leaning this morning. Last night, I was thinking somewhat along these lines, but accepted that he actually was opposed to Muslim immigration, and that he actually was the Norwegian equivalent of a conservative.
No, he’s not.
