So obviously this was the reason behind him going on a rampage. He also watches Dexter, was that another reason?

Nothing to do with him being a mental far right religious nut case then?

They always do this, just because some loony played the game doesn't mean that all FPS Gamers are looneys.

Too true.

The looney part is the World of Warcraft entry on his facebook

Ban the OP, he probably plays shooting games and is therefore likely to go on a killing spree! None of us is safe!

In fact, ban me too, I'm always shooting people in the face. Online.

That mean he did this in hope of getting a tactical nuke?

Could this lead to Bobby Kotick being waterboarded?

91 dead apparently.

At least 91 people died in the attacks, most of them shooting victims at the Utøya youth camp
