On a serious note, I'm expecting a little backlash of "omg they are picking on metal again!" from the kvlt kiddies.

I thought he said somewhere that he doesn't want anything to do with metal anymore because it's too Jewish.

The medias said that there was some rock thrown at the police and firefighter when they arrived to the crash zone


According to the actual french media, one person was arrested for stealing a mobile phone from one of the medics and really minor incidents arose when (young) people were pushed out of the emergency zone, AFAIK. The stone rumor is mainly spread now on right-wings websites, but was on mainstream news a few days ago (link in french).

About Varg, I can't help but think about the Tarnac / Julien Coupat affair, but this time with a "left" gouvernment. When french interior ministry declares that "there is no target or indentified project" (link in french), things seems more made for headlines, than really serious.

"According to AFP officers seized several weapons at their home on Tuesday, including four 22 Caliber Long Rifles. Vikernes could be held in custody for the next 96 hours, as is allowed under French anti-terror laws"
Good god, .22's? I don't want to even imagine the carnage he could have carried out with such weapons...

Oh fuck that part slipped past me! Fucking .22's? Damn, if that's all it takes I should be in prison for all the guns I have (I'm a hunter, and no I don't give a fuck what anyone's opinion on that matter is).

In all seriousness though, it does seem more likely that there's a greater cause for his arrest that the police aren't currently disclosing. That or the arrests are to make French politicians look good. For the latter, there is potential backlash for the French politicians if Varg is freed without being charged, people would be angry at a potentially violent white-supremacist neo-Nazi walking free due to insufficient evidence.

Varg doesn't have any official social media stuff (at least he didn't last I checked), so yeah, Telegraph hilariously quoted a fake twitter account.

Post subject:  Re: Varg Vikernes Arrested In France

Well you could use them to hunt extremely small things like squirrels or rabbits, but most people just use them for plinking/shooting cans/targets. It's pretty much the smallest/lightest caliber available. It's popular because the guns (and ammo) are dirt cheap so it's a cheap, fun way to get some shooting in. Now, of course you CAN kill someone with a .22, but it would probably be the last gun you'd pick if that was your goal.

you can guarantee they've been trying to pin something on him since he got out of prison. they won't have anything on him beyond his blog and probably more weapons than are registered to him. or if he's been sensible, he won't even have any extra weapons.

the worst i see varg doing, realistically, is owning a cache of weapons/explosives that he plans on using to turn his property into some kind of fort in case people come to steal his liberties, etc etc.

Post subject:  Re: Varg Vikernes Arrested In France

Those headlines are such misleading bullshit. "Neo-nazi linked to Anders Breivik arrested for terror plot" etc. Come on! :lol:

My guess is that the post saying "it's time to revolt and take action" + buying guns is what made the police move in, just as a precaution, though I do hope they have more evidence than just that, because otherwise it's going to make them look bad and Varg will gloat like a moron after that. (Then again he might hopefully shut his mouth and keep a low profile for a while, but I doubt that, he's not exactly rational...) The link to Breivik is absurd, too, Breivik was a hardcore Christian.

They have so many children, ugh. Always sad to see the biggest morons reproducing so much. :ugh:

The Norwegian media is having a field day, making articles as they are reading through his blog. It's acutally quite amusing. I don't think the investigation will achieve anything. The bought ca.22 rifles legally, and Vikernes himself has been very careful not to encourage violence in his audience.

He's an old-fashioned neo-Nazi, who prepares for the zoombie apocalypse. Not a terrorist... but we'll see. I won't claim to know anything for sure.

When I worked at the bowling alley, we'd semi-frequently have people ask if we had any old bowling pins they could buy from us for target practice. When they asked, we had to ask them if they were using a .22 caliber weapon, because a .22 bullet will not pierce the bowling pin and would just ricochet off and potentially wreck somebody. In short, they're baby guns, real men use bazookas.

Really, I doubt he was going to actually go on a massacre, but that's because I'm a semi rational and somewhat adjusted human being, not a murdery arsony stabby shooty Natzey lunatic whitey. Who really knows what kind of nonsense goes on in Varg's head?

Noted church-burner arrested in "connection" with man who was religious enough to go to church before slaughtering children. Planning a massacre with .22s? Are these people trying to prove that they're as loony as Varg?

Target rifles, mainly. As with any gun, it can hurt people, but it's just about the least desirable caliber for harming living things. Primarily chosen for its cheap ammunition for targets or rodents.

this is actually a fairly worrying thought - it's basically "let's arrest that weirdo, we'll find out what he's done once we have him locked up" dressed up as a pre-emptive, anti-terrorist action.

at least that's what it can be at its very best. if these supposedly highly-trained anti-terrorism experts genuinely believe that he's a terrorist based on some ridiculous connection with breivik (that's no doubt been shot down all over the internet pretty convincingly by now), you have to stop and think: fuuuuuuuck.

It's official, this is everywhere. Even the Portuguese media have been going on with this for a while now. It seems that every news agency is just copy-pasting the French press release and adding a bit of misinformation here and there. It comes to prove the quality of journalism really, and if things are as simple and inane as they seem to be then I think the French anti-terrorist unit will come out really bad in the picture as well.

Do people even get their facts straight before they write an article? Oh why do I bother... Even an alleged black metal fan commenting this subject on one of the major newspapers here (online version obviously) said that he had killed a contesting vocalist. If BM fans don't know their shit about Varg then I guess the media can't possibly know as well, although in reality it is their job to get the facts straight.

I think this episode will give Varg a lot to write about in the near future. And nothing else really.

I genuinely feel sorry for Varg. Just saw an article about him on the front page of MSN that says he's a definite neo-nazi connected to Breivik. The media continues to embarrass itself in epic proportions...

Post subject:  Re: Varg Vikernes Arrested In France

This is pure political persecution and thought-policing. Varg says extremely inflammatory un-PC stuff on his blog but he goes out of his way to tell his sycophantic following both in his articles and the comments section discussions not to engage in any illegal activity, so as to avoid being arrested and fucked with by the police. Ironically even after doing that the police still came to try and destroy his family and ruin his life. This ultimately has nothing to do with some kind of nonexistent terrorist threat, the REAL problem with Varg Vikernes' blog is that he constantly maligned the J-ws, and that's the ultimate Political Correctness no-no.

As a father of three children, with number four on it's way, i guess he is lacking the time to think out masterplans on how to kill all the jews but is rather busy changing diapers, designing the room for his next baby and teach his kids how to walk, talk, swim, ride a bike, use a fork and a spoon while eating and a tooth-brush afterwards, and of course teach 'em good and friendly behavior ( :-D ), usual stuff a good father does. At least i hope so.
This is probably the reason why he turned away from metal music into the relaxing ambient direction, because when you're surrounded by a horde of screaming kids all day long with them doing nothing but nonsense and continually devastating the house, when thay are finally in bed by the evening, the only thing you long for is peace and quiet. :wink:
