Norway shooter used "dum-dum bullets"

The latest report from Norway - the shooter may have used "dum-dum bullets". Unless I'm really confused here, that would be what us people living in the 21st century call HOLLOW POINT AMMUNITION. You know, the same exact thing that police, civilians, hunters, and just about every person who isn't shooting a paper target uses.

Is this going to turn into another outbreak of that stupidity when they try to blame the ammo instead of the shooter?

Note to the Canadian press: nobody has used the term "dum-dum bullet" since about 1890 or so. You might want to use some more recent terms. Or consult someone with even a tiny bit of firearms knowledge before posting this sort of nonsense. Right-e-oh? Jolly good and all that then, eh?

Worst comping ever?

I guess it's not the worst ever, but it's bad. I think the lesson here is FIND A POOL WITH A COVER ON IT IN A BACKYARD. Don't take a picture of a pool, overlay a picture of a cover, and then drop the whole mess in a picture of a yard.
