patmac: Albert you are doing as you did on the thread that got locked...Read and enjoy...

" Albertaghost: "“Gets worse Conrad. Once he beats the terrorism charge he gets a second trial as a murderer and, gets to take the crazy test all over again.”"

Look at what I used Albert...Your post and in that sentence you actually really state TERRORISM....See it Albert and by using the very fact he is charged with, as YOU CLEARLY STATE terrorism then Albert old Lad you are in fact admitting he is a terrorist....So all your previous rants and raves have in fact been shot down by yourself.Nice one Albert,no need for any further discussion Albert your post clearly shows what he is charged with and being charged with that it makes him A TERRORIST."Sorry Albert your own post closes the debate. Another quote Albert Somtimes a cigar is just a cigar...


Well Pat, being charged of terrorism does not make him one. Similarly, being charged of a crime does not make one guilty.

I know the way that the court system works might seem strange to you but it is a bit different than a mob with torches and pitchforks storming a Frankenstein Castle Pat. To simply arbitrarily call everything you don't like terrorism is akin to a kneejerk reaction.

And that is, to use a Pat quote;

"Sad."

Albert the Court charge is Terrorism as you clearly stated...Then the court is taking him and charging him with charges that mark him as a TERRORIST...Fact he is in court under Norwegian Law and the charge is terrorism.....Not Jay walking or anything else you care to mention.


And I do love your attempt to quote me....

The Norwegian Court is the only legal authority who have the right to charge this man and as you clearly admitted the charge is TERRORISM

All the waffle, posting and reposting of anything else you care to do is totally MOOT.

As you yourself clearly showed the charge...TERRORISM...

lIVE WITH THE FACT Albert......grin cheers

So then he is only considered a terrorist to the prosecution as this is Norwegian law we speak of. I can see by the lack of definitions here that if he were to be tried in any other country he would not be considered guilty of terrorism as most here can't even provide a definition of what it is.

patmac: And I do love your attempt to quote me....


And I kinda liked your attempt to quote me.

patmac:

Actually it is one of many charges and, one that the courts in Norway have a history of allowing people to get off on just as the three first people charged under this law were.

patmac: All the waffle, posting and reposting of anything else you care to do is totally MOOT.

As you yourself clearly showed the charge...TERRORISM...

lIVE WITH THE FACT Albert......


That's the charge alright. Not the guilty verdict. As I said, the first three charged under this law were let off so your posting and reposting means little.

Now, have you a widely accepted definition of terrorism to share with us or are you just going to repost a fact that we all know and agree on?

Look up Albert....The post above.....My last on this rubbish as your attempts at this time are so bad Albert...The Norwegian folk have charged him with Terrorism Like it or not Albert that is a sovereign state using it's legal power to charge him with the crime they want to.

Guilty or Not, the actual charge is as a Terrorist....Fact, no need to define or debate the charge is as it stands.....grin cheers

vinny1967: Your laughter and twisting of the facts is childish in the extreme. Please re-check the posts as I stated Breivek was charged with terrorism by the Norwegian Government


Well duh. Everybody knows that though. Doesn't mean he's guilty of terrorism though.

Oh, and I especially liked the laughter you put into posts 47 and 51. Lots of toons for you I see.

vinny1967: No. I don't mean the people were only meant to be scared. Can you understand English. The fact that they were terrorised seems to have escaped you


Not at all. His intent was to kill people, not scare them. Or did the deaths of seventy seven people escape your attention. If he were simply attempting to scare or terrorize people there would be a lot more alive.

vinny1967: Now on the subject of english I assume we are communicating in English as defined in a dictionary. You have mentioned numerous times in these forums that you go by the FBI definition (not even the version that is US Law as pointed out by Niko earlier). Why would you do that I ask myself. Is it possible that it suits your agenda and view of the world.
I myself use a dictionary and as such I have quoted it here. The fact that you wish to deem it incorrect speaks volumes of your fear and prejudice. [/quote[

I used your definition to blow your silly contention that he is guilty of terrorism apart. It stated one of the criteria was 'international terrorism.' He is not an international terrorist by any means so certainly doesn't appear to be a terrorist under that definition.

That simple enough English for you?

As TT stated earlier if it was a muslim suicide bomber he/she would be quick to be labelled a terrorist.


Not by me. As I said earlier even insurgents or Al Quasam members who blow up US, British and Israeli forces are not terrorists. The action has to fall within the definition(s) or they are not guilty of terrorism.

Understand?

vinny1967: Your argument smacks of an agenda that is despicable and says so much about you and not the topic


I ask for a definition and your agenda comes right back to a lost argument. You provide us with a definition that doesn't fit his case, one that the Norwegians lost three times in a row because their definition is faulty (you know, the one you never even bothered to look up) and, then you can't even read simple English which is the definitions and criteria posted in the OP, instead asking me about FBI definitions which entail the exact same criteria.

Methinks you and Pat need to go do some serious research.

To quote another "Sad."

You said;

""And you Albert did post his charge as Terrorism.....Makes him
A.....................TERRORIST..................""

So because we all know that he is charged with terrorism he is guilty of terrorism and is a terrorist?

As I said Pat, you just threw a thousand years of law out the window. Most humans in this day and age are at least provided a trial to assertain their guilt prior to sentencing but not in your cave I see.

Sad.

patmac:

This nonesense is really doing your credability no good in any way...


Actually it certainly didn't do much for yours or your sock puppet's either. Hell, you guys don't define crimes nowadays and then ascertain guilt or innocence? Incredibly backwards I'd say Pat to say the least.

patmac:

Sorry to ask you to post what your widely accepted definition of terrorism was Pat. I had no idea you didn't have one and were relying on knee jerk emotions. doh

Were the people terrorised ????? It's that simple alberta.

I suggest you try reading a dictionary instead of quoting people you admire or organisations that you aspire to. When reading comprehension helps when reading with an open mind although I don't think that's not possible in your case. I may be wrong.

Breivik claims there are 2 more terrorist cells in Norway

(AGI) Oslo- There are two more terrorist cells waiting to strike in Norway, claims Anders Behring Breivik. Speaking at the third hearing in the trial in which he is facing charges of terrorism and premeditated murder for the attacks on Oslo and on Utoya island, in which 77 people were killed on July 22.
When public prosecutor Inga Bejer Engh asked the 33-year-old whether Norwegians ought to fear attacks on the part of the other cells, the terrorist replied, "yes".

A ghastly litany of relentless slaughter: man of stone Breivik eventually reduced to tears.

In court, Breivik sat impassively, apparently unmoved by his handiwork.

He seemed equally untouched by other dramatic evidence in this first day of his trial for the terrorist attacks in which his bomb and his shootings killed 77 people, mostly teenagers, last July.

Breivik has been charged with terrorism and pre-meditated murder.

Frankly I cannot understand why we need to define the word for the benefit of the thread author. I'm sure the Norwegians know what they are doing ,and this discussion is a bit disrespectful. Norway is not a densely populated country, and I guess most people would have some connection with a person who was unlawfully killed.

The country is in deep mourning .Let's show some respect.sad flower

The pre meditated murder charges are not in question and the terrorism that was unleashed on those people only seem in question with the op.

Boban1: Precrime in America
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is working on a project called FAST, the Future Attribute Screening Technology. FAST will remotely monitor physiological and behavioural signals like elevated heart rate, eye movement, body temperature, facial patterns, and body language, and analyse these signals algorithmically for statistical aberrance in an attempt to identify people with criminal or terroristic intentions...


These Isreali's already do human screening by these behavior signals.
They have one of the best ...and low cost screening methods to detect
terrorist, smugglers and others that are trying to board a plane or enter a building for criminal acts.

We have been pushing TSA to adopt such methods for the last 4 years. So we can reduce the scannings, body searches and removing on shoes on airport check ins.

Not as part and parcel of the action's intent Vinny. He intended to kill people, not scare or terrorize them.

Did. I read yours and it says absolutely nothing about scaring or terrifying people but rather says;

""terrorism

Pronunciation: /'t?r?r?z?m/
noun
[mass noun]
the unofficial or unauthorized use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims:
the fight against terrorism
international terrorism
""

I suggest you read the OP and go to the links of the experts who have studied this stuff their entire lives rather than make your own stuff up.professor

That's the title of the thread and was it's purpose until you hijacked it in post #9. Your fellow hijackers joined in and subsequently the thread has been off track for four pages since.

The by product of terrorism of the victims themselves are not part and parcel of any definition of terrorism you have shown. Certainly not part of the definition you gave us earlier.

He certainly killed 77 people, blew up a building and a camp for kids and certainly terrified the people that were there at the camp but to my knowledge he didn't seriously intimidate an entire population as he was apprehended by the time the nation had heard the news and, didn't disrupt a function of vital importance as the trains kept moving following his bombing of the government buildings.

He is a cold blooded murderer but no terrorist according to Norwegian definition of it.
