This stopped the theories about this being a terror attack, which had been the running theory both around the world, and on the norwegian news channels.


It stopped the international terrorism theories, but of course it was terrorism. Not sure why you would say anything else.

Well anyway, I think the guy is certainly a bit crazy, you got to to kill so many people.


He killed teens who were at a camp for the socialist party who were likely very active and supportive of the socialist party. His motive was likely to kill off as many of the "future" of that party as possible. After all, it's very likely that he could've killed a future Prime Minister at that camp. It's a politically motivated tragedy that will likely only help the party he was hoping to harm.

This news horrified me like nothing have since the madrid bombing or september 11, this is far to close to home. To me Norway is more then just a neighbour, it's a tragic like no other in Norways history...

My thoughts will be with the families of the victims for a long time to come.

It was the opposite, he had connections to the right extreme and was probably a nazi himself.

When reading about this i am just really impressed by the norwegian people. Hosptials turning down blood donors, no cries for revenge and the determination to stay true to their values.
I'm hoping that they will stay this way and my concolences go out to all those who lost a loved one in this hugely irrational and inhumane act.

edit: Is there any way to show my support to the people of Norway?
edit2: Also could people not discuss about, which was worse 9/11 or this and if he deserves to die or not? Norway will handle it and both 9/11 and what this maniac did, are tragedies that should not be broken down into raw numbers or facts but seen more as a terrible thing that happened. If you wnt to se which country has the bigger penis, when it comes to the enduring terrorist attacks, take that somewhere else, please.

"Nazi" is a bad term to use, since he was some flavour of far rightwinger, but probably not that particular flavour.
He described himself as 'conservative nationalist' - his Facebook heroes were Winston Churchill and some Norwegian resistance fighter. From his political forum posts, he does appear to be somewhat Islamophobic (as opposed to antiSemitic), with views similar to those of the rightmost end of modern Western European Parliamentary parties - I'd put his views somewhere among the likes of Geert Wilders or Pim Fortuyn, or their nonDutch equivalents, say.

I disagree entirely. This guys crimes are terrible, but they're hardly inexplicable. Exactly what he hoped to achieve by murdering a bunch of somewhat leftwing kids is unclear at the moment, but it's not hard to come up with a few reasonable speculations as to what a solitary, fanatical right-winger would believe the result of this atrocity would be.

Why treat him different? Norway doesn't need a patriot act, because they actually have a working democracy with all its perks. You should try to live in a country that has FREEDOM and not a government constantly lying and hiding facts from the public. Just because he has killed alot of people doesn't justify that anyone has the right to kill him.


LOL epic post.

What, the Watergate scandal? That was like thirty years ago.

America is a free nation, regardless of what you think. You can achieve whatever you'd like here, with enough effort and hard work, and no one can persecute you. Equal opportunity. I think it's funny how you people from across the pond look down on us, when all we ever try to do is the same shit you all do. Live, very very long, and prosper.

Right wing doesn't need to mean "nazi".

Just an exerpt from http://www.document.no/anders-behring-breivik/ ,the site was mentioned here earlier:

"For meg blir det svært hyklersk å behandle Muslimer, Nazister og Marxister forskjellig. De er alle tilhengere av hat-ideologier."

Translates more or less to:
"For me it's hypocritical to treat muslims, nazis and marxists differently. They are all suppprters of hate-ideologies."

So whatever sick person he is, he isn't "nazi" or whatever.

Also, I woudn't call him "irrational" or at least not if that means that he didn't calculate and evaluate what he was doing. I think he planned this pretty thouroughly. :'(

Despite the horrific circumstances of this event and the suffering it has caused, it is so very admirable that the institutions of Norway (as well as many posters here) seem strongly committed to refusing to let this change their 'way of life' and tightening freedoms etc. These types of attacks create fear and misery and pain, but just how much damage they do - and their lasting impact is always determined by the response of the community that is attacked. Going on the responses from most so far gives the Norwegian people something to be very proud of in a dark time.


It's really too bad the American government didn't react like this after 9/11, the Norweigian government's response is just so mature and composed, if this is typical for this party I can see how they've been in power since WW2.


Don't compare this shooting to 9/11, ever. More than 3000 people died within two hours in the United States. In Norway approximately 80 people have died over the course of this single mans very few hours of rampage. If you're going to compare United State's catastrophes with this event then compare it to the Oklahoma City Bombing.

Back on topic: After reading this woman's blog post I am absolutely disgusted at what this man has done. Words can't describe how sickening this is. Blowing up a government block is one thing, but to be so deranged as to personally gun down individual human beings is so insane I can't wrap my head around it. Rot in hell.




Are you really trying to compare two tragedies with their magnitudes? You are pathetic sir. Guess what, hundreds of thousands of people die due to PREVENTABLE causes in poorer countries and yet you cant seem to see out of your asshole, seriously people like you, piss me off, I am already saddened to hear the loss of promising and innocent lives and then this, sorry gotta rant.


You do realize 9/11 was a series of 4 planes hijacked by members of a terrorist organization (located OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES), aimed at destroying key, iconic government buildings in the heart of a foreign, western nation. An event fueled by hatred for western society and years of indirect/direct oppression.

This is a shooting/bombing/attempted bombing carried out in Norway by a citizen of Norway, motivated by deranged ideological believes of a psychopathic-free mason.

They're not even remotely similar besides the fact that they're both acts of terrorism. Guess what? These aren't the only two acts of terrorism seen worldwide. I gave an example of an event which is far more similar to this shooting than the catastrophe of 9/11 that people are somehow finding as a more accurate comparison. Magnitude was one contrast, but a minor point. You're contrasting this to third-world issues now? I fail to see how that even refutes my point. You don't need to call me pathetic, or flame for that matter, to get your point across... even if it is a sensitive topic.

For those calling for his death, from what I understand that would be playing into his hands. He wanted to cause political change with this abomination, and what your suggesting will do exactly that. The best thing for Norway to do is what they are doing right now - nothing out of the ordinary but following their laws that are currently in place.

Not necessarily. He was a racist, yes, but he was more likely an extreme nationalist that hated all foreigners. That he liked anti-nazi on FB just means that he is against any kind of foreign influence on our country. I've been noticing this disturbing trend for years. A lot of people, even among my friends, are of the opinion that only "pure" norwegians should live in Norway, and all muslims etc. should be thrown out. Unfortunately I think it was just a matter of time before something like this happened.

That's disgusting. These people didn't deserve to be cut short like this.

The sick fuck probably did some real big mental backflips to be able to justify this.
