Clearly, a lot of planning went into this. Building a bomb to create that level of damage isn't easy and he used it as a diversion for the police and emergency services. Then he starts shooting on a small island with a large number of people where there isn't any easy escape or access by police. It gave him plenty of time to inflict maximum damage. It's heartbreaking to think that most of his victims were just kids.
you gotta give the guy credit for a perfectly executed and well thought out plan...it will be tough to top his score...especially the gun kills...just sayn...

his dad was right: he should have done that himself. now he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison (probably away from genpop for his own safety) reflecting on the total failure of his nihilistic actions
I read your original post, Fjoggs. I was just questioning the reasoning behind the "maximum sentence" being 21 years. I understand it can, and will be extended in his case. I'm just surprised that the sentence up-front isn't for life in any cases.

The northern European jailing system is quite radically different and a fuckload less barbaric than the American prison shit you see on TV. It's all about isolating inmates from each other rather than segregating them by race, stuffing them into overcrowded cells and letting nature take it's course.

Hundreds of thousands of people die every day under worse circumstances than these. A quick Google search tells me that 30,000 children die in Africa every day, and I feel a lot worse for them (since they starve to death, get hacked up with machetes, or die of malaria) than I do for a bunch of over-privileged white kids that went quickly.
Is it sad that these kids got smoked? Sure. But I guess the real question here is: Do you walk funny with that stick up your ass?
No. If anything they carry a baton, but most often they don't.
Only in very special cases are police allowed to carry firearms.
Might sound strange to someone with a gun under every pillow in the house.
