Amy Winehouse dead at 27 and comments on Norway killings

I hate seeing talented people die so young. It’s a shame that a talented singer died at such a young age.

LONDON (AP) — Amy Winehouse, the beehived soul-jazz diva whose self-destructive habits overshadowed a distinctive musical talent, was found dead Saturday in her London home, police said. She was 27.

Winehouse shot to fame in 2006 with the album “Back to Black,” whose blend of jazz, soul, rock and classic pop was a global hit. It won five Grammys and made Winehouse – with her black beehive hairdo and old-fashioned sailor tattoos – one of music’s most recognizable stars. But the British star’s personal life, with its drug and alcohol abuse, eating disorders and destructive relationships, soon took over her career.

Police confirmed that a 27-year-old female was pronounced dead at the home in Camden Square northern London; the cause of death was not immediately known. London Ambulance Services said Winehouse had died before the two ambulance crews it sent arrived at the scene.

Rest in Peace!

Rodan Note: It turns out the killer in Norway was actually an anti-Islamic Rightwinger (See Note). As much as I hate Islam and Progressives, killing kids in cold blood is wrong and I condemn this vile act of insanity. I can understand an attack on a government building (not justifying it), but killing kids is wrong.  Progressives and Islam can be defeated, but not like this. These acts discredit what us on the Right are trying to do. I hope the killer burns in hell.

Update: Lobo makes a good point.

I’m not sure how well that’s been established, actually.

There seem to be a number of questions about his background.

I suspect that in the end, he’s going to turn out to be more like their version of Jared Loughner.

I agree with this statement.

Addendum by 1389

Statement regarding the Utøya youth camp attack:

There has been a plethora of speculation and allegations bandied about in the media and the blogosphere with regard to the identity and motives of the Utøya youth camp attacker(s). Let me point out that we don’t have all of the facts yet (or perhaps any of them).

Just for starters, there hasn’t been a trial yet. Only the trial can establish whether the person arrested (namely Breivik) was the actual shooter (assuming that there was only one shooter, which we still don’t know).

We also don’t know who actually left the comments that were purportedly made by Breivik.

Nor do we know the extent to which the police and the judicial system in Norway are honest. These cases become political footballs. There have certainly been enough problems with that in the US, especially with regard to high-profile crimes and assassinations.

We don’t know whether the Oslo bombing, the youth camp attack, or both, could have been “false flag” operations. Even if they were not, there is always the danger that they could eventually be used as a “Reichstag fire” incident.

Anybody can leave comments on just about any website, forum, or blog that allows comments. They can leave comments under somebody else’s name if they feel like it, and the website owner generally won’t know.

Let me point out something else: A blog, forum, or website is not responsible for the mental health (or lack of it) of its commenters. We don’t know who those people really are. Some commenters are undoubtedly imposters.

At various times, we’ve had some looney tunes commenting on 1389 Blog, which is, of course, a counterjihadist site. Even though a few such commenters seem to have agreed with our viewpoint (at least to the extent that we can figure out what they are talking about), we don’t like getting comments from people who seem to be incoherent or mentally unbalanced. That is partly why we moderate the comments. If we were to accept no comments from anybody at all, that would cut us off from any dialog with our audience, and that would cut down on readership.

I will make two further comments:

Whoever left the comments under the name of Breivik was not connected with the counterjihad movement to any real extent, simply because he (or they) would know by now never to use Little Green Footballs as a source of information.

Whoever shot up the youth camp wasn’t a Christian, despite what he (or others) might claim. That isn’t something that a Christian would do. Nothing in Christian doctrine allows it.

    You must be joking. They don’t even have life without parole, much less the death penalty.

    He’ll serve 15 or 20 years, and be released, after which he’ll spend the rest of his life living off the taxpayers.

    Krauthammer smacks a PBS host over bias:

    Krauthammer to PBS Host: You Manage to Introduce a ‘Hell of a Lot of Bias’

    On Friday’s episode of the PBS show “Inside Washington,” host Gordon Peterson accused Tea Party members of lacking a grip on reality due to their support for House Republicans’ Cut, Cap, and Balance Act.

    To which weekly panelist Charles Krauthammer responded “I like the way you pose an objective question implying the insanity of a Republican proposal which passed the House…You manage to introduce a hell of a lot of bias.”

    Below is the transcript:

    GORDON PETERSON, HOST: House Republicans say they have a solution: Cut, Cap, and Balance. Tea Party folks love the idea of a Constitutional amendment to balance the budget. At what point does reality rear its ugly head with some of these people, cause it ain’t going to happen?

    CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I like the way you pose an objective question implying the insanity of a Republican proposal which passed the House. I just want the viewers to understand how this is a fair and balanced program.

    PETERSON: Well, we do our best. We don’t have the vast resources of Rupert Murdoch and Fox News, but we do the best we can.

    KRAUTHAMMER: I understand, but on a shoestring, you manage to introduce a hell of a lot of bias.

    PETERSON: Thank you very much.

    KRAUTHAMMER: I commend you on your…

    PETERSON: Can you answer my question? When does reality rear its ugly head with these people?

    But I’m not so sure he isn’t a muzz convert. I’d like to know more abt. his ‘friends’ and associates. Did he buy that fertilizer for the jihadis’ bombs? These 2 vicious slaughters are related. Can not be mere coincidence.
    What a great opportunity for an investigative reporter to search out the truth. . . . oh wait, do such people exist anymore. I guess only to slam Christians and portray the muzz barbarians as loving and peaceful.

    Yes, and remember how long we had to wait to even get the Ft. Hood killer’s name.
    They protect that maniac so long.
    Stooopid sheppie smith was nearly in tears, when finally, he had to say nidal hasan.

    I’m taking with a boulder of salt anything the mfm says abt. this guy so soon.

    The media is proclaiming the crazed Norway terrorist is a Christian, it says so on his FaceBook page. Does one click of a mouse on the profile edit page make one a Christian?

    This guy is definitely NOT a Christian, wantonly killing innocents.

    The fact that he went after people connected with their left-wing party isn’t completely without logic, if it was actually politically motivated.

    If someone here were upset with our government’s lack of border enforcement, for example, they might choose to take it out on Democrats, since they’re the ones pushing for open borders.

    I still think the guy was just a nut, though.

    Whatever his motivation, expecting Europe will see more of the same. From what I’ve been reading they are blissfully unaware of the pending dangers re: a forced multicult society in Norway. It took the cops over 40 minutes respond time to the island massacre.Also see my # 1. Yikes.

    That in and of itself isn’t surprising.

    Cops in places that are not used to significant acts of violence often respond poorly when such an attack does happen.

    The same thing happened during the Columbine shooting. Littleton, Colorado is a bedroom community in the Denver suburbs, not the inner city.

    That’s the thing about terrorists. They want the credit and make sure they get it, otherwise it is not useful to them. Yes, they want us all dead, but unless they get to claim credit for it, their 72 Virginians will not await them in Paradise.

    I’m sorry, but I’m not having any trouble seeing the killer to be just exactly what he is being presented as, a virulent, violent nationalist who blamed Labor for ruing his country to the point that he struck back directly at the Labor party. Bomb outside the PM’s office, then scooting off to attack the most vulnerable Labor party target he could find. Unless and until evidence to the contrary is uncovered, it’s a perfectly logical story and motive.

    @ vagabond trader:

    Footage filmed from a helicopter that showed the gunman firing into the water added to the impression that police were slow to the scene. They chose to drive, Sponheim said, because their helicopter wasn’t on standby.

    “There were problems with transport to Utoya,” where the youth-wing of Norway’s left-leaning Labor Party was holding a retreat, Sponheim said. “It was difficult to get a hold of boats.”

    That’s what happens when your government believes that “things like this don’t happen here.”

    Bachmann Would ‘Extinguish’ Gay People, MSNBC Host Says

    MSNBC anchor Thomas Roberts said Friday Republican presidential candidate Michele Bachmann would “extinguish” gay people.

    The Blaze previously reported on the controversy surrounding the clinic Bachmann co-owns with her husband amid reports that it uses “reparative therapy” techniques to “pray away the gay.“ Gay activists ”glittered” the clinic Thursday.

    Speaking with GOProud Executive Director Jimmy LaSilvia, Roberts — who is openly gay — questioned the organization’s willingness to reach out to the Minnesota congresswoman to meet with her during the presidential campaign. GOProud is a gay Republican organization opposed to another term for President Barack Obama.

    “But you will replace [Obama] with a person that would extinguish you,” Roberts said. “You‘re replacing him with a person who doesn’t believe you have a right in this country to get married, that believes you don’t even have a right in this country to be gay because she co-owns a clinic that will convert you.”

    LaSilvia responded, “I think all the presidential candidates should hear our perspective as gay Americans who, like you, live their lives openly and honestly because we bring our unique perspective to our American experience.”

    If I had to pick which event was more unlikely this weekend, I would have gone with the death of Winehouse. Much of Europe is committing suicide and you’re going to have events in Norway as countries decline.

    As to the killer, I don’t believe any of what the media has to say and I wouldn’t put it past them or the Norwegian government to lie about the killer in order to ease any tensions that may be building there. Honestly, right now, I believe most politicians are thanking Gaia or the universe that the killer wasn’t Muslim.

    Canada had the Montreal Massacre in 1989. Per the Wikipedia link: “Marc Lépine was born Gamil Gharbi to a French-Canadian mother and an Algerian father.” NEVER was this mentioned in the media. Heck, you have to go half way through the article on Wikipedia for that sentence. NEVER was a picture released, which retrospectively, even my then liberal Canadian self found odd. Mark Steyn was the ONLY journalist I’ve ever seen actually mention that Gharbi was the “son of an Algerian-Muslim wife-beater.”

    Even today, the vast majority of Canadians have no idea who the real Marc Lepine was. The Canadian media and government have done an ‘admirable’ job of keeping this nugget quiet in the name of cultural sensitivity. I expect no less from the Norwegian media and politicians.

    Obama compares himself to Lincoln:

    Obama and Debt Crisis like Lincoln and Emancipation Proclamation?

    In recent weeks, there have been many metaphors and analogies from President Obama in describing the negotiations on the debt and the deficit. He’s used terms like “shared sacrifice,” “eat our peas,” and putting aside “our sacred cows” in the name coming to an agreement. And during a town hall on Friday, he invoked Abraham Lincoln and the Emancipation Proclamation to urge for compromise in the debt talks.

    Speaking at the University of Maryland, Mr. Obama said Lincoln had his convictions, but he was constantly making concessions and compromises. “[T]he great emancipator was making a compromise in the Emancipation Proclamation because he thought it was necessary in terms of advancing the goals of preserving the Union and winning the war,” Obama said.

    The proclamation signed by Lincoln in 1863 did not abolish slavery all together. It applied only to states that had rebelled against the Union, leaving slavery legal in the border states during the Civil War. Total abolition of slavery was finalized by the 13th amendment which took effect 3 years later.

    Obama brought up the proclamation, which he says is hanging in the Oval Office, after being asked a question by Mary Wagner, a school teacher in the audience. Wagner explained that she is teaching her students about the two-party governmental system and the importance of compromise. But Wagner asked “[A]re things changing?…Do we not use compromise anymore?”

    The president said that Wagner was correct to question it because culture is now pushing against compromise. But “if Abraham Lincoln could make some compromises as part of governance,” Obama said, “[T]hen surely we can make some compromises when it comes to handling our budget.”

    Norway does allow civilian gun ownership, but with significant restrictions. All gun ownership is based on demonstrated need. Rifles and shotguns are fairly common, for those who have passed the rigorous requirements to obtain a hunting license, but handguns are less common.

    Norway has a large population of hunters.[3] Semi-automatic and bolt action rifles, as well as shotguns, make up the better part of the guns in civilian homes.

    There is a total ban on automatic weapons for civilians, unless they fall into the collector category. Modification of semi-automatic guns into fully automatic without the consent of the police is a felony crime.

    Handguns have some caliber restrictions. A Smith & Wesson 500, for example, is illegal due to its high power, but other, less powerful, guns are legal as they are used in sports shooting. Norway has a long tradition of high-end sports shooting competitions, especially rifle shooting. Each caliber must be used in some type of competition to be allowed. Also, there is a restriction on the number of weapons an owner can have for each caliber. For recreational shooters, only one gun is allowed in each caliber. For professional and semi-professional shooters, a spare gun is allowed. A recreational shooter is only allowed to own four different handguns. To obtain more, documentation on extensive involvement in sport shooting is needed.

    [edit] OwnershipTo own a gun in Norway, one must document a use for the gun. By far, the most common grounds for civilian ownership are hunting and sports shooting, in that order. Other needs can include special guard duties or self defense, but the first is rare and the second is practically never accepted as a reason for gun ownership.

    I notice that certain bloggers such as Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs keep spreading the utterly false rumor that I am the evil shooter from Utøya, the island just outside of Oslo.

    I have absolutely no idea who planted that rumor or for what reason, but they obviously don’t wish me well. For the record, I was live-blogging about these horrible events the entire Friday evening, which can be confirmed by nearly a dozen different individuals.

    I didn’t respond to these rumors earlier because I was too emotionally exhausted from yesterday’s events. It was hard to pay attention to such things, but now I feel that I must. Some people really do want to smear me that badly.

    What’s really amazing is comparing Europe to Israel.

    You see basically polar opposite reactions to the same events (namely, the mass slaughter that was the first half of the 20th century).

    In both cases, “Never again” is the operative slogan.

    The Europeans have largely adopted the John Lennon “Imagine” approach to things, and decided that if they no longer believe in anything, then everyone will get along.

    The Jews, of course, took the exact opposite approach, and built a sanctuary for themselves which they’ve vowed to defend to the death.

    All in all, I’d say the Israeli version is working better…

    Works for me.

    Norway’s gun regulations don’t sound too dissimilar from those currently in force in Canada. I could own a handgun if I really wanted to: take a firearms safety course, become a member of a gun club with a range, and get the necessary permits. Long guns somewhat less restricted. In fact, we can own some semi-autos that Americans cannot, by reason of the “assault weapons” ban.

    So, if I were a whacked-out nut like Breivik, but was able to pose as sane, I could quite readily arm myself with an arsenal of weapons, and carry out a similar crime. The restrictive gun laws don’t really place that much impediment on a person who is on a “mission”. They might deter somebody who gets hot under the collar and declares, “I’m going to go buy a gun and shoot that dirty, no-good S.O.B.” Might, meaning that the delay imposed by the red tape might allow the hothead time to cool off. Might.

    Thanks for correcting me. I am pretty sure that some of the models that could not be imported into the USA could be imported into Canada.

    Canada most likely will be getting rid of its hated long-gun registry in the months to come, since that was a plank of the Conservative Party platform, and they now own a majority in both the House of Commons and the Senate. I expect the announcement will come once they can find a way to provide alternative employment for those people displaced by the closure of the center, which is in New Brunswick, a province with chronic unemployment. Politics.

    Interesting:

    Report: Norway FM Called for Palestinian State At Youth Camp the Day Before Deadly Rampage

    The tragedy in Oslo, Norway has led us to into some not-usually-traveled territory: Norwegian politics. And as we try to get a better understanding of the political climate in the grieving country, here is some of what we are learning.

    The day before Anders Behring Breivik opened fire on youths at a Labor Party camp, organizers welcomed the country’s foreign minister. Now, the foreign minister’s message from that day has been revealed: it was an anti-Israel speech in which he came out in strong support of a Palestinian state. That message was something being supported by the camp’s attendees, who were part of the ruling Labor Party’s socialist youth movement called AUF.

    According to a translated report for Norwegian news station TV2, Norwegian Foreign Minister Jonas Gahr Store visited the camp on the island of Utoya on Thursday, the day before Breivik opened fire on campers killing over 80 of them.

    “Together with the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation correspondent Sidsel Wold and Norwegian People’s Aid Kirsten Belck-Olsen, discussed the Foreign Minister of the deadlock between Israel and the Palestinian Authority,” the Google translation of the article says.

    It continues:

    As foreign minister arrived Utøya he was met with a demand from the AUF that Norway must recognize a Palestinian state.

    - The Palestinians must have their own state, the occupation must end, the wall must be demolished and it must happen now, said the Foreign Minister to cheers from the audience.

    Earlier this week, when Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas visited Norway, the Minister said to TV 2 news channel that Norway stands ready to recognize a Palestinian state . This he repeated during the debate on Utøya.

    - We are ready to recognize a Palestinian state. I await the actual resolution text Palestinians will promote the UN General Assembly in September, said the Minister.

    It would never occur to me to go shoot up the local meeting of the College Democrats, though.

    I understand that, but here you have a nutter. And I rather suspect that camp was populated, at least in part, with the offspring of folks fairly high in the Labor party. Wasn’t the PM scheduled to speak there very soon?

    That may have been true at the time, but it’s not anymore. That law expired in 2004, and there’s been no serious attempt to renew it.

    The main effect of it, even when it was in place, was to raise the price of “banned” guns and magazines. Other than making a lot of money for people who had the foresight to stock up before it went into effect, it was mostly an annoyance.

    Rodan, do we really know if the youth camp was indoctrinating the kids with anti-Semitism? We know that Norway has a sad history of anti-Semitism, but was the camp actually carrying out indoctrination?

    That “Gaza” comment sounds like a moonbat who has drunk the anti-Semitic kool-ade. But moonbats like that are a dime a dozen in Norway.

    No question the Labor Party is anti-Semitic (in the guise of being anti-Zionist, of course), but it’s unclear to me that the specific purpose of that camp was to teach anti-Semitism.

    Again, more information is needed.

    It looks like anti-Israel and pro-Palestinian sentiment was pretty high on the agenda, but I haven’t seen anything about outright anti-Semitism.

    And that was a problem with the executive branch being given too much discretion in interpreting regulations, rather than a gun issue per se.

    @ vagabond trader:

    Well the Jews are evil or haven’t you been listening to the MFM.

    I’m going to put this out there anyway. I’m obviously sad about what happened in Norway. You don’t want to see this type of inhuman behaviour. But Norway has made a choice for societal decline, as has all of Western Europe, Australia, Canada with the US barely hanging on by the fingernails.

    Decline isn’t a bump free roller coaster ride to the bottom. Stuff like this is going to happen on the way. These aren’t the first kids that are going to be killed because our societies are suicidal and they’re not going to be the last.

    After a while of warning people about Islam, knowing that both my governments, the media, and most of the US and Canada would just write me off as a racist, hate-monger with no valid concerns, I just said screw it. I’ve already pre-mourned all of the dead until we decide to fight back. I’m sad for Norway, but again, I’m more surprised at the death of Amy.

    Seems like common sense to me that if you’re going to have a bunch of people gathered in a location where it’s particularly difficult for law enforcement to arrive quickly, you should have some kind of security of your own.

    Exactly and every now and then the mask slips and the Jew hatred adn teh Jew contempt comes out. The worst believe it or not comes from Jews themselves who want to be accepted by their non Jewish neighbors and friends. Some of the worst Jew haters for example in Britain are Jews (like Labour M.P. Gerald Kaufman).

    British writer Julie Burchill actually made the quote which I paraphrased about the Irish (and others) projecting their own national neuroses onto the Jews of Israel. It was in a guest column in the Jerusalem Post regarding an boycott of Israel by Irish “artists” 98% nobody ever even heard of.
