What a tragedy. Norway's one of the last places you think something like this would happen. I've never heard of any unrest there

You're right, it's a stable political environment, fine economy, and with educated citizens. But crazy is equal opportunity, nutjobs exist in all colors, sizes, and locations.

The attacker was apparently part of a Nazi sect of some sort. Crazy to think people are still drinking that kool-aid.
He gunned down 85 people. That's insane. I've seen some seriously chilling photos of the aftermath on that island.

hmm... i seem to agree with you... wierd.
The man asked to address the group, and then started shooting. According to police, the gunman was active and shooting for an hour and a half before authorities arrived. He used at least one automatic weapon and one handgun, police said.
