It's rather impossible for the society to protect ourselves from such things. I don't see how we can avoid this.
i can understund people having different ideologies than me, even i can "understund" the basis of racist people: i mean i dont support neither agree with them but i can "understund" (like read and comprehend but not support) that idea.. Edit: i think they fear of difference..i dont support but can uderstund the basis of their ideas
...but killing two people+expendin most of life in jail...like this guy from Norway....is un-understable for me! What ideas do drive this people to do this, do they think their ideology will win by doing this brainless actions??? Can´t they guess the entire society will deny about those killings??
I just cant understund it, is crazy

The funny thing is that 10 years ago we said that these things only happened in America, and now it is happening here as well.
I just dont get it, is there a grenade shop in Liege? Where the hell could you buy three grenades?

there's a proverb in italy that says:
"If you sow wind, you'll collect storm"
I think this are only symptoms of a worst pain of our societies!

Black market easily if you have some connections.
If you have a lot of money you can buy almost everything in this world.

Thank god romanians dont have enough money for a decent knife than. I wouldnt like to walk all day in kevlar.
there are different things:
-economic crisis -> work lost -> poverty -> dissatisfaction of a large part of society and fear for the future
-parties demagogic communication choices (see right-wing politicians talking about immigration or left-wing politicians talking about jobs and revenues)
-areas of subculture and increasingly marginalized people due to new forms of communication lacking of responsability.
-racism/neo fascim/xenophobia/islamophobia/etc never ended in occidental countries
-lack of real democracy -> I can not choose, so I'll find another way/another idea to find representation
- inability to choose the way to happiness independently -> you look where advertising tells him to find -> you get unhappy -> you get violent (no happy people get violent vithout cause!)
and so on..

These killing sprees are a simple consequence of increasing social alienation. These massacres are regularly performed by outcasts who are not well rooted within society they live in and so they are both utterly unhappy about their social status and at the same time they are uncontrolled by the society, i.e. nobody cares about them and so nobody can predict them as becoming dangerous.
Also, these people tend to be also overly sensitive about certain decadent but socially acceptable aspects of our society such as materialistic valuation of social status, open expression of sexuality, widespread drug and alcohol abuse of youth, promiscuity, violence in the media, music and computer games. When such sensitivity is combined with the lack of social status and support necessary to handle such cruel society, these people develop psychological disorders that exert in such violent oubursts.

Many weapons left over from the eastern European wars of last decades that are being sold. It's probably not even that hard to find them if you really want these weapons, specially not if someone is a criminal and has friends with connections.

Japan whaling fleet accused of using tsunami disaster funds

Japanese whalers have left port under heavy guard and clashes are expected with Sea Shepherd conservation activists.

Japan's whaling fleet has left port under heavy guard as it prepares to kill almost 1,000 whales in the Antarctic, where more clashes are expected with members of the Sea Shepherd marine conservation group.
Three ships, led by the 720-tonne Yushin Maru and accompanied by a fisheries agency guard vessel, left Shimonoseki port in south-western Japan amid accusations that the fleet was taking cash intended for fishing communities hit by the March earthquake and tsunami.
According to campaigners the government used 2.28 billion yen (£19m/US$30m) from the earthquake recovery fund, on top of its existing $6m annual subsidy, to pay for this year's hunt.
"It is absolutely disgraceful for the Japanese government to pump yet more taxpayer money on an unneeded, unwanted and economically unviable whaling programme, when funds are desperately needed for recovery efforts," said Junichi Sato, the executive director of Greenpeace Japan.
"The whaling programme is a black mark on Japan's international reputation, and a black hole for taxpayer money. Pouring billions of yen into Antarctic whaling during this time of crisis is downright shameful. Japan cannot afford to waste money on whaling in the Antarctic when its people are suffering at home."
The fisheries agency said the use of the fund was justified because one the towns destroyed by the tsunami was a whaling port.
Reports said several Japanese groups had written a letter to the prime minister, Yoshihiko Noda, protesting against the use of recovery cash.
"We demand the government not waste any more taxpayers' money on the whaling program but instead spend this money on projects that actually help the people, communities and region affected by the tragic March 11 earthquake, tsunami and nuclear crisis," the letter said.
"It is clear that the Japanese government's stated goal of resuming commercial whaling in the Southern ocean is unachievable. The whaling program cannot survive without taxpayer handouts."
The fisheries agency would not confirm that the fleet had left or say how long it would remain at sea. Japan's whalers usually leave for the southern ocean in December and return in April.
For the past six years the fleet has clashed with Sea Shepherd activists, one of whom was given a suspended prison sentence last year after boarding a whaling vessel to protest against the destruction of the group's hi-tech speedboat.
Last year Sea Shepherd claimed a significant victory after its campaign of harassment forced the fleet to return to port a month early with 172 whales, one-fifth of its intended catch.
Sea Shepherd had pursued the fleet through treacherous waters, hurling rancid butter on to the decks of whaling ships and positioning its boats between the harpooners and their prey.
This year the whalers plan to kill more than 900 minke whales and about 50 fin whales, reports said. Commercial whaling was banned in 1986 but the International Whaling Commission (IWC) permits Japan to kill a limited number of whales for "scientific research".
Environmentalists condemn the practice as commercial whaling by another name, since the IWC allows meat from the research expeditions to be sold to restaurants and supermarkets.
Robbie Marsland of the International Fund for Animal Welfare in London said: "We are disappointed although not surprised that Japan's whaling fleet has once more set sail for Antarctica to slaughter more whales. The reality, though, is that the whaling industry is dying and this is its last gasp. The economics show that whaling is unprofitable and a bad policy for the Japanese people as well as for whales."
Last year the IWC failed to agree on a proposal to allow Japan to catch whales in coastal waters in return for reducing its catch in the Antarctic.
Japan's annual cull has caused friction with Australia and New Zealand, which have again called on the fleet to abandon its hunt in an area they class as a whale sanctuary.

Hopefully this year the members of the Sea Shepherd marine conservation group will have an even more victorious year and can prevent the commercial slaughtering of all ±1000 whales that are planned to be caught!
Japanese government and whalers, SHAME ON YOU!!

I'm always a bit suspicious when I hear comments from someone connected with Greenpeace...so:
"It is absolutely disgraceful for the Japanese government to pump yet more taxpayer money on an unneeded, unwanted and economically unviable whaling programme, when funds are desperately needed for recovery efforts," said Junichi Sato, the executive director of Greenpeace Japan.
the question is - why does the Japanese government support it if it's a no gain-all loss programme? Any info on that, or whether mr. Sato is lying as Greenpeace often does? :)
