For WOW, according to the manifesto, it's used as cover. The original word says that "using social taboos is an extremely effective method from preventing people who know you well from digging too much." The taboo Breivik mentions is WOW, as he says "F[or] example, tell them that you have started to play World of Warcraft or any other online MMO game and that you wish to focus on this for the next months/year."



As the article says, video games are used in crime, who should be blamed?

Your right, he even used a tractor,the whole car industry should be brought down.

Why stop there..

He had a police uniform on, they have a lot to answer for...

A mad man and a gun.. is just that.

If those ppl hadnt been there he wouldnt have been able to kill them. We need to get rid of all the people so that way there wont be any more psycho killers.
