reasons behind the bullets

certainly one could sit down &
attempt to come up with 76 reasons for
breivik’s killing spree this past friday,
one for each person he murdered---

however,
after reading his 1000+ paged manifesto
of right-wing hatred, bigotry and outright
psychobabble &
listening closely to how the mainstream media
first depicted the unknown killer as a
“terrorist,”
equating terrorism specifically with muslims

(as if the two subjects were synonymous),

then moving to the more popular
“loner,” or “mass killer” moniker

(which make all those pissing their pants in
the western countries of the world
feel more comfortable,
making them able to go to sleep at night
even if this fundamentalist conservative
white
christian
was still the one responsible for the massacre---
you know it’s all in the way you spin the lie that
counts)...

couldn’t we spare ourselves such in-depth studies of
his writings & his actions &
the actions of the mainstream media trying to
frame the situation itself,
summing it all up in a simple
one syllable word?

FEAR.
