The 24-year old suspect was found to have read a significant amount of material about Breivik and other far-right figures. Speculation over his motives have prompted a bitter political feud in Warsaw.

    I too am fascinated by people like Breivik.

    Not in the sense the shooter was, of course. More like a morbid curiosity, wondering what needs to go wrong in a person’s upbringing and brain for them to value human life so little. It’s just so antithetical to how I see human life.

    The implication is that this is causal. Like being fascinated by killers makes you more likely to kill. Isn’t it more plausible that someone who is likely to kill is fascinated by people who’ve already killed?

    If Breivik’s manifesto is all that stands between you and a mass-shooting, the manifesto is not the problem. I don’t think censoring killers names or writings is an effective way to prevent things like this. It’s a impotent and symbolic revenge against dead men.
