Breaking news: Blast hit Norwegian government building in Oslo

Breaking: Police think there might be another suspect on the island. Prime Minsiter Jens Stoltenberg and Minister of Justice Knut Storberget is out there right now.
 
Shame he'll get a maximum of 21 years in prison! He should be executed by firing squad at Akershus Fortress like Vidkun Quisling!
*headdesk* We are better than that. We don't have to shed more blood to punish for this.

EDIT: On top of this, we don't need to give the European (not only the Norwegian) Nazi movement a new Horst Wessel.

There is legal room in Norway (as well as Sweden) to keep people imprisoned indefinately (f?rvar), as nomix pointed out earlier.

Latest news is that the arrested man is a confirmed member and previously a youth-chairman of Fremskrittspartiet and that police is looking for a second assailant.

That is indeed a terrible act. My condolences to all that lost a family member or friend due to this crime, and my best wishes to the wounded.

I must say that I'm incredibly impressed by the Norwegian politics, first of all the Prime Minister, for their calmness and refusal to blame anyone before getting the necessary facts together. If I were Norwegian, I'd actually be proud of that.

And now for something completely different, the technical point of view: So, a bomb explodes in a busy city district that shatters windows all over, witnesses say they felt the earth shaking some kilometres away, and it kills only seven (I hope this number is still right) people. Someone - probably the same guy who detonanted the bomb - goes on an island with a gun a starts shooting. Over 80 people dead. Holy f...
 
Of course he is a terrorist. He blew up the fucking government district in Oslo and shot and killed 80 young members of the Labour youth organisation. Why the hell would he not be a terrorist?

Oh, I think he's a terrorist. I just haven't heard that description used since news of who perpetrated the attack came out. In fact, the 24 hour news networks over here have provided very little coverage of what happened....which in and of itself is quite pathetic.

No, that is not the Norwegian way, which is why they were attacked by a fellow countryman, and not an outsider. The rest of the world has far FAR too much respect for Norway to attack them, and that is why I knew from the onset that was an "insider" job.

I'm quite content he will not be given a capital punishment.

Same here.

Hell on ? Uta island

I have woken up. I can not possible to sleep more. I'm sitting in the living room. First laughs grief, anger, happiness, God, I do not know what. There are too many emotions.

Panic bread t from among us. All in the room rushed to the window and attempt VDE below to jump out. I was the last and thought, ? ? I am the last to jump out the window. N? ? d? ? r i.

Talked some more with my mom and my family. I called my best friend. It was a good call. She said: ? ? I was not sure on whether I would ever f? ? this telefonen.? ? T? ? clean pressed on. We talked a little bit. After that I lay. It was three. Mom refused year let me sleep alone, so we slept together.

It goes tt few hours ago all this happened. I'm still in shock. Everything has not fallen into. I have seen the corpses of my friends. Several of my friends are missing. I am glad that I can swim. I am glad that I live. For God, Please be sure to me. There are so many emotions, so many thoughts. I think on all the ? p? ? r? ? rendering. P? ? everyone I've lost. P? ? the hell that is and was on the island. This summer's most beautiful fairy tale is transformed into Norway's worst nightmare.

I have been to Norway many times and i must say i'm absolutely disgusted by this news. Such a shame this tragedy has descended upon this wonderful country and it's people. I hope the man arrested will be punished in the way that he deserves, and Norway will pick up the pieces and once again become the great country that it was, and actually still is. May those who died rest in peace.
 
I must say that I'm incredibly impressed by the Norwegian politics, first of all the Prime Minister, for their calmness and refusal to blame anyone before getting the necessary facts together. If I were Norwegian, I'd actually be proud of that.
As a Norwegian, I am proud today. It has been an incredible support and safety to be able to trust the Prime Minister. He has acted with solemnity, and acted with force. George Bush said "we will fight you with all might". Stoltenberg said "we will fight you with democracy".

Oh, I think he's a terrorist. I just haven't heard that description used since news of who perpetrated the attack came out. In fact, the 24 hour news networks over here have provided very little coverage of what happened....which in and of itself is quite pathetic.
That is indeed pathetic. They haven't used the word terrorist? What? The? Fuck?

I'll try to do a quick translate summary in a while, I've got to write a story about a church service now.

For those interested, local labour party leader lighting a candle in mourning:

Our Prime Minister is being interviewed by NRK television now. His voice is breaking..

Quick and free translation:

"It's been important to me to tell them, that the world has told me, to tell them, that they are in their hearts."
 

my vid, see now that it's tilted..argh...
 
I've been thinking about finding the right words to express what I feel and think about this unbelievable act of violence. And everytime I thought I knew what to say, the numbers of dead people rose and made it obsolete again. This is not some natural disaster, this is what one human did to other humans for -- as far as one can tell -- the lowest of all reasons: Hate.

Hate is what poisons our modern societies. Hate and fear of the strange, the foreign.

While most people still think, that islamic fundamentalists are the biggest terrorist threat, I've been saying for years that Al-Quaida and the likes are no imminent threat anymore -- for various reasons.

What I feared and what this act of terror in Norway seems to prove, is that we have to be more afraid of people from our midst. People who live in fear and hate, who's number grows throughout the western world, fertilized by rightwing parties and their populism, which are getting stronger all over Europe -- but especially in Scandinavia, it seems.

It's these "hate crimes", which are the new face of terrorism and which we have to be afraid of. You cannot get rid of them with stronger border controls or body scanners at airports. The terrorists of today and tomorrow aren't being trained in Afghanistan. They're living among us and you cannot recognize them by their long beards. They are in our blind spot and ironically they partially seem to be a result of our irrational fear of islamists.

I'm afraid the fear of terror from the muslim world resulted in creating our own radical groups and people, who are ready to commit acts of terrorism themselves. You can only get rid of them by counteracting intolerance, racism and hate with tolerance, openness, friendship and of course information and education.

As I said: I'm not good with words, when it comes to express my feelings but for what it's worth, I can say that I am deeply shocked and can only offer my honest sympathy and condolences for what happened in Norway. I honestly hope, that the Norwegians will soon get over this traumatic experience and that it won't change their nature.

It's also my hope, though, that this is a wakeup call for all those, who sympathize with radical rightwing parties, their views and thoughts and who believe, that we must protect ourselves from strangers and their influence. Because if we don't abandon such thoughts and beliefs now and counteract them, we will have to endure more of such "hate crimes" in the future -- of that I am absolutely sure.

I don't know anything about Politics, but myself and many, many people from here in Australia will be keeping Norway in our thoughts and prayers tonight.
 
Sorry guys, late back to the thread as I was away last night. Just caught up with the full horror of what happened.

My heart goes out to all our Norwegian members and I sincerely hope that neither you or anyone top whom you are close has been in any way directly affected by these appalling events. Indirectly of course you are all affected and certainly the ripples are being felt here.

One can't imagine the horror those people must have felt in their final moments or begin to comprehend how badly those who survive will be haunted by the terror they experienced at the time and the guilt that many are likely to suffer from surviving when others did not.

There will be a candle in the window of this house tonight. Please everyone who reads this do the same.
 
That is indeed pathetic. They haven't used the word terrorist? What? The? Fuck?
Bloggers here are already theorizing the media will bury this as it does not fit into their anti-islam agenda.
 
They can't be that stupid.
 
The media or the bloggers? Have you paid attention to what qualifies as news lately? And any idiot can be a blogger.
