At least 84 people died when a gunman opened fire at an island youth camp in Norway, hours after a bombing in the capital Oslo killed seven, police say.

<..> Eyewitnesses described how a tall, blond man dressed as a policeman opened fire indiscriminately, prompting camp attendees to jump into the water to try to escape the hail of bullets.

Some of the teenagers were shot at as they tried to swim to safety.

I read that Norway is calling this their Oklahoma City. A lone nut who's main objective was to kill as many people as he could. It's insane.

Terrifying. And didn't happen in the US!

Right wing Christian fundamentalist. At least Norway is smart enough to classify this as terrorism, just like any other extremist lunatic.

The SPLC calls them out but they rage on. There are a lot of these hate groups in the US. I don't know what can be done about them.

What we can do is identify them correctly as Terrorist groups. The U.S sees 3 blacks, hispanics, gays, womens groups, liberal groups and identifies them as terrorist or extremist. When it comes to right wing "Christian" extremist they ignore them and allow them to continue with their acts of violent talk and sometimes actions.

Timothy McVeigh was one of those people and there are many more out there....

Suspect in deadly Norway attacks charged
There are signs the local farmer, 32, may have had right-wing, Christian fundamentalist views

<..> Police said the suspect had been charged with both the shooting attacks at the island youth camp where he was arrested and the bombing of government buildings earlier Friday.

TV2 said Behring Breivik had an automatic weapon and a Glock pistol registered in his name.

<..> At a news conference Saturday, deputy police chief Roger Andresen declined to comment on the possible motive for the killings, but said: "We have no more information than ... what has been found on (his) own websites, which is that is goes toward the right (wing) and that it is, so to speak, Christian fundamentalist."

"Christian Fundamentalist"? That makes no sense to me..Fundamentally Christ was a man of PEACE.

That's just awful. 84 people? Holy crap that's a lot of bullets.

What sort of sniveling coward would kill kids at a youth camp, other than knowing it wasn't patrolled by police and it would take a long time before he would be apprehended? Absolutely vile subhuman filth. Puke

**jaxx** · 07-23-2011, 09:28 AM

It's mind bending how someone can do that to people. They must hate so much that it consumes them. Maybe this will wake up the population here as to what can happen when these nuts go off.

How did he get so many people? I'm afraid we're going to hear from right wingers about how they could have stopped him sooner if they'd only had guns.

Also feel for the guards who let him in with his fake police ID. Hopefully Norwegian culture does not blame them as US culture would!

They are saying that already on some other sites we know.

Just read a newspaper article. Some kids swam 800 meters to the coast of the lake!

The Emergency response was slow - I can see it is not a place where such things are thought of as happening!

Though there could be fires or accidents - I hope security is beefed up in that way (not in the give up your freedoms way - their PM made a good statement about that).
