Protecting Democracy

How extremely crass is it to frivolously resolve all those recent deaths in Norway with a maximum 21 year sentence, even in the event of a Neo-Nazi terrorist attack?
Or consider non menacing the murderer's rantings about bomb construction and final journal entries as done by a leader of the Anti Racist movement in Norway?
Or just be obtuse enough not to understand veiled threats or denials or shocked accusations of Nazi behavior by Nazis in times of democracy?
How is mourning the loss of many enough,or more than a palliative for not realizing that those lives are erased from the flow of existence forever?
How is it not shortsighted not to realize that it is not becoming the enemy to effectively impede events such as these from occurring again, or for that matter, how shallow and absurd is it not to realize that not all crimes are the same and that one needs to positively, completely stop a person and groups capable of acting with such violence and in such aberration to commonly held humanity?
How is a passive condescension to violence on this scale an effective defense for the protection of democracy and peace?
How credulous, plain or feigning stupid can Merkel be in stating that coexisting in peace in a democracy is the rule of law when one party conceals directives of violence, inhumanity and prevarication? For that matter how can she state, along with Sarkozy, that multiculturalism is dead without revealing at least a confused understanding as to who is truly multicultural and who is not, but just a person bearing ill will for the society that accepted him or her as an immigrant or of the society bearing ill will for its immigrants? Isn't blanketing every immigrant with this understanding of multicultural just saying that every immigrant is a destructive element to a society that accepts him or her? Or that a society is inflexible and inherently fascistic?
How is it not opportune to stop the spread of this inhumanity now that it is relatively contained not much more effective at saving lives than the possible development of a full scale war?
The death of even one person is never quantifiable, but preventable. It's an immense tragedy when this fails. With this recent upswing of fascistic populism in Europe, why wasn't the camp properly secure? Why did it take the police 40 minutes to reach the camp? And isn't it a proof of inhumanity of the mass murderer that he thought of misrepresenting a police officer, whose function is to save lives, just to trick those who believed him into death?
