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. |

It's a "political camping trip" for kids, not really a terror target.
Would make as much sense as having armed guards at every single school, etc.

Don't try and start this discussion all over again people...

I wonder how he got fire arms and explosives on the island ?
Where the explosives placed before ? I wonder for how long this man has been planning this and who helped him and provided him with the weapons and tools. I cant imagine what this guy was like before the attack, where he worked what he did, what frineds and family he had.
I wnat to know the history of this man wich lead to all this suffering.
It is unimaginable, the hatred this man must have had to kill so many children in cold blood ...

Please do not talk out of your ass and ask for a withing minute response when that is clearly not possible. Im sure they did what they could as fast as they could. And also remember that ALOT of resources were tied up at the boming in Oslo. You know what, you're right. I'm too accustomed to resources and procedures in the US. I guess I am silly to expect a QRF of 18 Army Rangers to fast rope down from blackhawks during a military-related domestic attack. All the same, I really feel a lot of lives could have been spared had there been some better prepared armed response protocols. The army becomes involved when bombs detonate in cities. It's no longer an issue of "driving the squad car to the scene of the shooting". It's heavy-response time. Shame. A damn shame. I really feel bad for all those kids. So many politically motivated kids getting ended before even getting a chance to realize their potential - in Arizona, now here.
Even from a US perspective it's very difficult to blame the authorities. After all, even in America, the Pentagon managed to get hit on 9/11 after the NYC attacks. No country can really respond well to huge disasters like this. Hopefully countries will see this though and start planning ahead for when things like this do happen so that we don't have to watch something like this ever happen again.

You can't really blame the police for this. You have to understand, Norway isn't America with 100 SWAT teams ready 24/7 for some action . Who would think something like this would happen? Everyone was so chocked and taken by the bomb, Police, medics, firefighters - everything had focus on the bomb and possible more bombs in the city. Telephone lines was overloaded and stuff like that. I hate to say it but Anders (the shooter) planned this almost perfectly and took advantage by that so he could be alone for such a long time on an small island dressed as a cop with over 500 confused and scared kids, with machineguns and scope to just go rampage close target and pick off people trying to swim for their life with the scope on his gun. Police had no idea on how many they were on that island, what equipment they had. As far as they knew, they could have gotten their boats blown up on their way to the island.

It's possibly the biggest, softest target that could possibly exist. There will always be predators and there are predators everywhere. There is no reason not to expect this in Norway. Norway has less than 2% the population of the US. There is no reason to think that just because it has never happened before that it will never happen.
I'm not saying there should have been a SWAT team on that island or anything like that. A couple adults concealing pistols and a rifle locked in a safe and everyone on that island would have had a much better chance of survival.

Seeing he got the explosive planted on the island, it might have supposed to be the other way around, first set off an explosion there which would trigger an emergency poltical meeting, if that was the case he would end up killing all the top leaders in norway with the bomb in Oslo.
Either way this makes me ill and I can't really believe what have happend today.

It was 560 on the island. 80 people atleast were killed out of 560.
If my calculations are correct thats 14% of the people that were on the Island died.
That's every 7th person shot.

Considering how most of the world media have been running this as an international terrorism incident, I wonder if they're actually (secretly) disappointed and how quickly it'll disappear from the front pages of newspapers.

STFU please, I promise you we do not want' people to carry guns. That is no way to gain safety...

My thoughts and payers go out to all the people of Norway. Such a horrible act of needless bloodshed

Seriously, this is just as baffling as the utter lack of Anti Air missiles on New York's rooftops on 9/11.

Ok, that makes more sense, though I'm still baffled why it took 2 hours for police response. If one's response procedure allows a single armed man to murder 90 people, it should be reviewed at the very least. 90 people is quite possibly the most murders by a single gunman in history, and easily eclipses the U.S.'s "record" of 32, so something clearly went very, very wrong. Norway is an otherwise very competent state, so I have to assume there will be improvements in the future.

Well even a mass murder is less "interesting" than a terrorist attack because there won't be a retaliation against a group, they caught the one guy that did this and it's over.

Does it bother anyone else that minors were sent to a camp with a political agenda? Is this common?

This man describes himself as a conservative, having stated that the biggest political issue now is nationalism against internationalism. He believes that multiculturalism is the greatest threat we face.
He has been reading a lot of books and has a very elaborate vocabolary.
He enjoys World of Warcraft and Call of Duty. On his facebook page we can see that he has studied 15000 hours of religion, finance and history. On his own.
He states that multiculturalism is about deconstructing the majority.

We have guards at schools in the states. Thats why some posters here may be confused by the relative lack of security.
I have no interest in the matter, this kind of thing can happen just as easily with guards around too.

Its essentially a youth party camp, they are 14-19, not 8 years old.
