We were in an airport when this happened and saw it on the screens and walked over to the flight to Oslo and saw everyone crowded around the TV and some people were crying. Surprised the flight wasn't cancelled. I thought at first the dead was going to be numbered at around 17. But now it's at 90. Wow...that's just crazy for a shooter to do. My heart goes out to the people of Norway.

Aye. Ideologies don't kill. It's simple. People kill.


Question: can there be a war between country A and country B? Or is it just people shooting and bombing each other?

It is, he also have written about everything he has done before the explosion. Many Norwegian newspapers have already reported about it.

A war is a clash between entities, not ideologies. Entities can sometimes represent ideologies, but not always.

I have read a bit about him, his past, his behavior on the newspapers internet pages. He seems like a calm, kind and tolerant man. How can somebody like that do such a think? It is utterly disgusting, if not also extremely scary too, that anyone could do such an action

Ooh, well, I'll thank you for posting it. I had enough time to watch it.

On second thought, I don't know whether that was a good thing or a bad one.

That doesn't mean anything. A person can be racist and have black friends.

It was a video the gunman posted last month.

It's weird.

One of his best friends and work-out companion was from the Middle East and he seems to have been one of those nice people at school - helped out those who were being bullied and so on.

And then he turned into this. Who would've guessed?

Look at the nice stock photos at the end of the PDF file. I wonder if he did this to promote that book... It sure as hell has worked.

The attacker has described his actions as "atrocious but necessary", and has said that he can explain himself in court on Monday.
