Or made a felony stop at 0400.

The different Norwegian and American attitudes on this issue become part of the plot. Two FBI agents have come to Norway to hunt a Norwegian/American serial killer who apparently has moved to the old country. The FBI agents are surprised to learn that Norwegian cops do not carry guns and have to get special permission to take out the ones they have in their cars. The Norwegian cops respond by sniffily referring to the Americans as “gun crazy”.

Interestingly, when the Norwegian hero is ambushed by the killer and is losing the fight, he is saved by the female FBI who shoots the bad guy. I don’t know if this implies a criticism of Norway’s no gun policies or just appealed to the script writers as a dramatic scene.

Odd.

They don’t back up every page — there is a tag to tell them not to, and they honor it (it’s actually about “spidering” for google-search engine type activities, but they treat what they do as the same, though it is nominally different.)

There are many many lost pages of interest — for example, all those great and glorious long-form political essays of Bill Whittle from his Eject! Eject! Eject site a decade+ back — which can still be read (and, in his case, at least, are as timely now as then)

And that decision in turn will decide whether Norway considers conversion to Islam a mental health issue.

He seems to have chosen older adults as his targets, particularly women:

“Four women and one man, all aged between 50 and 70, were killed in what appeared to be a random ‘act of terror,’ according to police. Three others, including an off-duty police officer, were wounded. The attack lasted 35 minutes before police apprehended the assailant.

The trial in the case is still months away. Police have said Braathen is cooperating with the investigation. He will not oppose a request to keep him in detention, and will be subjected to a full psychiatric evaluation, his lawyer Fredrik Neumann said on Thursday. The outcome of that evaluation could determine whether Braathen risks being sentenced to prison or committed to psychiatric care.

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Stoere, who took office on Thursday after winning elections last month, will visit Kongsberg on Friday together with Justice Minister Emilie Enger Mehl.”
