After the shooting in the mosque…
.
Nils: What with the mosque massacre downunder by a man gone mad
on social media, rise of racism and the ultra-right. Like that Norwegian.
.
Sven: Yes, he cited the Norwegian… wasn’t he declared insane?
.
Nils: Forensic psychiatrists’ first assessment of the Norwegian was
insanity. Then they had another examination and concluded he wasn’t.
.
Sven: I guess they get treated more leniently if they are
insane. Could get out earlier and be a danger to terrorize society again.
.
Nils: Terrorism? Or madness? The random violence of an insane
man?
.
Sven: Insanity can be contagious. There were copycats of the
Norwegian. A Czech, then a Pole. Now this.
.
Nils: It’s a mad world. And such events fire up the conspiracy
theorists. Breivik acted with accomplices? No evidence turned up. The terrorist
had accomplices? No evidence. Maybe the insane find it hard to get along with
each other.

| Pixellate the unspeakable |
We share the world with
increasingly more people. Cultures collide. Characters clash. Maybe life used
to be used to be simpler. People got along. Or if they didn’t they had an
argument and looked a bit sheepish about it next day. Now some people who
cannot be famous for good deeds, resort to using social media to make their
mark through evil. Pixellate their face and don’t use their name.
