    I hate the effing news - why are we talking about this? Seriously!? love the “yet another mass shooting quote” in Norway … let’s talk about things and crisis that impact Americans like gas, diapers, tampons, housing, inflation, rising property taxes, mortgage companies mucking up escrow, supply chain, etc

    So you think the news is not actually talking about those things?

    Have you ever watched a newscast before?

    Let me help you out, they usually talk about more than one thing.;)

    What’s your point? They are now calling it a possible terrorist attack. Or is this another useless thread started by you.

    Yeah isolated incident. That’s the problem I have with you. You post lazy ass crap and trying conflate two incidents to try and prove a point.

    Anything new in Japan? Extreme heat related to global warming I’m sure …How about Mexico? Yet another mass decapitation with numerous bodies strung over the bridge probably because the rival gang members were gay I’m sure smh, come on man ! Come on news! Do better!
    @tinman

    There is simply too much worldwide news. Why just Norway? What about Germany? …France? Italy? Uruguay? Istanbul? Australia? So when news will pick and choose from any country and a million possible stories. They do so based on what? ..Exactly. Issues that concern a political viewpoint plus conjecture of the reasoning. No this is sloppy chit

    Ohio State trademarked the word "the" . . . that's gotta count for something.

    Ohio State University Trademarks ‘The’
    The trademark will offer the school, whose supporters famously emphasize the article in its name, some protection against unlicensed merchandise sellers.

    Just wondering, what do you mean by "what's your point?"? Do you not think this is newsworthy/worthy of discussion? Would you rather suppress this type of news? What's your point?

    You bring up an interesting point on what topics the media gives and what topics the public consumes .
    Also the Norway incident brings up something that’s old and forgotten
    Are there terrorists using Islam as an excuse ? Yes
    Does it really count when the bad guys can get guns where gun laws are strict? Yes

    do Clutchfans fake outrage gun violence outside America or Texas ? Yes

    "Isolated incident"

    https://thereligionofpeace.com/attacks/attacks.aspx?Yr=Last30

    List of Killings in
    the Name of Islam:
    Last 30 Days


    This is part of the list of killings in the name of Islam maintained by TheReligionofPeace.com. Most of these incidents are terror attacks. A handful are honor killings or Sharia executions.


    During this time period, there were 110 Islamic attacks in 22 countries, in which 893 people were killed and 467 injured.

    In Norway you can still get guns if you can show a documented use such as for hunting and sports shooting.

    Firearm violence does happen in other countries but it is notable a shooting of two or more is unusual in Norway but happens multiple times a day in the US.

    There is a global common theme here as to what motivates these terrorists. Caling this an isolated incident is beyond laughable.

    This topic that op posted wasn't about terrorism it was about mass shooting and the op’s weak equivalency of Norway’s gun control compared to the US. So yes this mass shooting in Norway is an isolated incident. If you look at the overall gun violence in Norway.
