I think Norway may need to revamp its penal code.

Motherf**kers should DIE.
I have to admit, I figured it was muslim extremist (s). turns out the guy is some kind of far right extremist who is totally ANTI muslim. Some muslim group had intially taken credit for it apparently for some reason.
such a horrible tragedy.
Beautiful country. Beautiful people.
I think I mentioned this before, when I was young, and my father was serving in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War, my mother moved back to her parents' (my grandparents') farm. And they lived in area of Washington state that was predominantly Norwegian. Just a wonderful people, even if we did make fun of their accents, and what they ate.
Thus, what happened in Norway is a double tragedy. Not only that it happened, but the number of victims. At last count, I heard the count was up to 92. Most of them at the childrens' camp. Some of which may have drowned, as some of the children apparently, when the shooting started, were diving into the water around the island and trying to swim to the mainland.
Just a reminder to myself, if it can happen in a country as non-violent as Norway, it can happen anywhere.
My prayers go out to everyone involved in the tragedy.
such senseless violence :bluesad:

He wrote a 1,500 plus page manifesto which this columnist has I guess just read.
Sickening. A clear cut case of the death penalty if there ever was one.
21 years in prison? REALLY? That's just sad. He'll just be free to do it again.
