I can't believe this still is needed but religious and gun control side discussions will be met with harsh penalties from page 52 and onwards. | ||

I doubt we'll get more information tonight. I believe we'll get new numbers for the island tomorrow. Hopefully they won't be horrid, but I'm not too optimistic.  | ||

I don't really see how he would be possible to bring assault rifle and bombs over there without standing out for the guards. He was just there for a "routine check" after all. O_O When the media talk about "guards" at the island they're probably talking about people who's job was primarily to check if the visitors had the correct tickets and such. I doubt there were any guards in the correct sense of the word (as in guarding their safety). The man had come and claimed he was doing a routine check due to the bombs in Oslo. The "guards" who probably weren't really guards would obviously let him through. | ||

The most annoying thing is that now we all have to go to sleep without an answer as to the motivation behind all this and after 4 hours of watching it, thats doesn't feel right. | ||

A lot seems to point towards a right-wing extremist displeased with the government and the labour party. It also looks like a lone wolf or a tiny group of people responsible. | ||

Beautiful image to put things into perspective, especially considering the man in custody is 100% Norwegian. Thats the asiatic tourist i mentioned in my post! Btw are there more pics of the place connected to a user or anything?

It was the only one in 6 floors that was still half way intact. | ||

I guess it wouldn't realy matter after all if he was carrying rifles and backpacks with bombs or w/e when he was dressed as a police and you know that your capital city just got bombed. | ||

On July 23 2011 06:32 decemberTV wrote: A bunch of americans derailed the whole thread arguing about which weapon must have been used and which would be better and so on; a few pages back. Actually since now you're referring to me, I'll go ahead and set the record straight since it IS relevant to this thread: -A poster had implied that this act must have been executed by a "highly trained professional". I replied that in fact this act - although horrible - is an act that can be replicated by ANYONE that is crazy enough. It DOES NOT require a HIGHLY TRAINED operator to kill with a tool like an assault weapon. That was my point - it's an important point too. We must ALL be very wary of this type of violence as it can happen ANYWHERE so long as a lunatic/fanatic has access to the right TOOLS - in this case, an assault weapon. -Another poster uselessly responded to me that I was wrong in my nomenclature - that "assault rifle" was not the right term. To this needless point I replied, with FOUR sources, that the description and aftermath of the violence clearly indicated that it WAS an assault rifle. Again, this point is important because it indicates that somebody had access to a very dangerous tool - one that enables this type of slaughter with relative ease. Now, do you have any questions for me, this "bunch of stupid Americans"? By the way, I'm one person. Hope that clears it up. | ||

Since most of the norwegian people would now side with the socialist party even more wouldn't they ? Is it the socialist party who agreed to send troups in Afghanistan back in the day or was it a different party ? | ||

No he had already assumed "responsebility" for her so i figured i would help someone else. An off duty doctor later (or prior) also had also checked her out there wasnt much else one could do for her. | ||
