No idea, doesn't seem so to me. I'd think all the islands coastline looks somewhat similiar if you compare to the birds-view-photos of the islands posted earlier.
The first picture is taken from a helicopter. The video is from a boat way later.
The first picture is actually a still from a video.
How can you kill 84 teenagers in cold blood? Im pretty upset about this event and I dont live in Norway. Personally im shifting more towards legalizing carrying a weapon outside because than this piece of shit wouldnt have had the chance to rampage for 2 fucking hours.

I was stating that with reference to the geographical location. As in, is it located in the same place? Are the images of the same place?
I still think not.
@last Post: I still think it was 30minutes untill SWAT-arrival, not 2hours. Consider they came from 40km far away Oslo to an island. Also there was the bombing in Oslo to start things of.

Secondly, the news bulletin here in Australia described him as a "Christian fundamentalist. To what extent is this true? I haven't seen this anywhere, though I heard he called himself a Christian.
Not liking Muslims and immigration is a moderate viewpoint?...
In Western/Middle Europe yes. It's common to not like them. Not hate in particular, but people here are really xenophobic
I'm from the UK and if someone told me they "didn't like Muslims", I'd think they were a right-wing racist idiot.
Here in Sweden, no one would outright say that it's the Muslims they don't like. They'd say something along with "those immigrants." But they're not talking about the Polish, Serbian or other kind of white immigrants, nope, it's the Middle-Eastern ones.
This is the kind of xenophobia i'm talking about. You don't hear people say "i don't like X". But you hear about those "damn immigrants" all the time. No one will say to you: " i don't like muslims". They will tell you how immigrants destroy our society and so on

He is already known to the police. He got asbergers syndrome.

It was a summer camp for the Youth Wing of the Norwegian Labour Party. It's been held there every summer for decades. The current Prime Minister (Labour) has been visiting every summer since 1974...

Thing is teenagers likely wouldn't have access and even if they did likely none would be permitted to take onto the island for camp and then probably very few if any would have thought there would be any circumstance in which they would need it, being on an island for labor youth camp.
It's just a tragedy that couldn't really have been prevented no matter how you think about the what if's
[/QUOTE] Those people are often deeply disturbed. However this person has pulled the trigger with killing shots 84 times and many more less devastating shots over such a long time (2 hours? WTF). AND THEY ARE KIDS. I have no words.

It ended after about 30 minutes. Still, a very long time ....

Fucking news.
And here we go again..
It's really starting to get increasingly difficult to get some neutral, non-sensationalist news nowadays. Belgian quality newspapers were pretty much insinuating that it was islamists who did the bombing, without really having a good reason.

I used to live 300 meters from the school he burned down. Friends texted me saying it was him. His arrest today was being shown live on TV. Not 100% confirmed from any source yet.
EDIT: He's got Aspergers ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asperger_syndrome ), so I doubt he was connected to the killings. He's just after attention. He was on the island as a contender on the camp.
