[Trumper]

A terrible event. There are some truly sick people in this world. :(

So true, and so that "Love breeds love" there can be no guarantee...better if a camp official had a weapon for this type of thing.

[SYN_Per]

My sincerest condolences to all fellow norwegians. A truly sad act of human cruelty.

[Tree_UK]

Awful news and what a terrible waste of human life.

[Skoshi Tiger]

Our thoughts go out to the families of the victims. What a waste.

[SG1_Lud]

Sad day indeed, my thoughts are with the norwegians and specially those families who lost their dearest.

[Rickusty]

It's all so unbeliavable...
Makes you wonder sometimes in what kind of world we live in.

Sad day for everyone I guess.

[Friendly_flyer]

As the only Norwegian on this forum to have answered so far I thank you all for your kind worlds and thoughts. This is the bloodiest killing in the country since the Second World War, and the only terrorist act since 1979 (when a right wing nutter threw a bomb at a 1st of May parade). Luckily, the culprit was cought right away,and ha seem to have been a lonly nutter.

[mazex]

My thoughts are with you Norwegians too in this sad hour. I have many times walked the streets of Oslo and it really hurts that violence like this has come to a place where most thought you could walk safely.

[Raggz]

thanks to you all. I have no words just tears!
My thougthts goes to friends and their familys that lost their loved ones!

[NedLynch]

I would like to express my deep simpathy as well. It's completely imcomprehensible to me what happened.
Can't find words to express how terrible I think this is.

[machoo]

Norwegia(sp?) where is this? Can't say I have heard of Oslo either.

Ditto....seriously...what a despicable act, there is no defense for this...whatever is going on in his sick mind...my prayers and thoughts for the victims.

[Heliocon]

I nearly never post in these threads, because nothing I say or post here can make much of a differance or console those who lost friends or family or just as important, fellow human beings.

Especially this incident is such a horrific and sad loss of talent, ability, potential and irreplaceable human life at the hands of one hate filled man, who felt it was justifiable to steal the lives of others before they could really live.
No one, no country ever deserves or can be ready for these types of events, but the most important thing is that you dont let the spirit and ideals of the Norway before the attack die with those who are now lost.

[Blakduk]

To our Norwegian friends- sorry this has happened to you guys. Every person i've met from your great country has been a credit to you. Sorry for your loss.

[Fjordmonkey]

As a Norwegian, I have spent this last weekend in shock, in tears, in anger and in deep sorrow. 92 people are so far dead in an event that will go down in our history as the day we lost our innocence, and as a day where we get a cruel and cold reminder that we are not as safe up here as we thought we were. It has been a weekend spent in strong and conflicting emotions and where many questions have been asked. At the forefront of those question is a simple one. "Why?"

I hang my head in shame because of what one of our own has done. I hang my head in shame because of the fear he created, for the anger he has triggered, and the immense sorrow he has brought upon not only the families of those that was so violently taken away from their families, their friends and their loved ones, but also the sorrow he has brought upon the rest of us as a nation.

As was said in a movie, we will not go quietly into the night. He will not scare us into leaving our ideals, and he will not extinguish our spirit. We will prove to him that we will continue to be who and what we are, and we will prove to him that his actions were futile. We will show him that the only thing his hideous and despicable actions have managed to do is to bring us closer together, that we care about each other, and that we will continue to do so in the future.

On behalf of all of us, I want to thank you that have written in this post for your thoughts and sympathy. It will not bring back the ones that have gone away, but it might help to ease the pain a little.

[Skarphol]

Thanks to you all for your warm thougths. This has been a terrible weekend for Norway and the Norwegian people.
One of the girls who survived the massacre on the youth camp said to CNN: "If one man can create that much hate, you can only imagine how much love we as a togetherness can create." I think those are words to remember.

My condolences goes out to my brothers and sisters of Norway on these darkest of days. Please find some comfort in that you are not alone in your mourning for we here in Finland, Sweden and Denmark are carrying your loss together with you.

Yes, but do not rely on that...being unprepared to meet such evil head on, is as sad as the event.

You're right, they should also have taken precautions against falling meteors, tsunamis, earthquakes, abducting aliens.. etc.

The whole scenario is just so unlikely and bizzare that noone really could predict it.
This was just a camp for kids, kids engaged in politics, but still just kids.

[rakinroll]

Condolences from Turkey to all Norwegians.

No, being prepared

"police arrived at an island massacre about an hour and a half after a gunman first opened fire, slowed because they didn't have quick access to a helicopter and then couldn't find a boat to make their way to the scene"

I see. I read your comment in the light of your first post in the thread.

Yes, a heli transport would have made a big difference.

[kimosabi]

Now it is not the time to point fingers, debate have already been raised about the heli issue they have, and I hope that if something like this happens again, they will have a helicopter standby like any Delta squad should have. Dont trust media completely though, one and a half hour is a bit more than the time it actually took them to get there, and the boat was ready, they had engine stoppage a couple of minutes while crossing. Media blows up everything.

As for being "prepared", was the US prepared for the UNA bomber? Was the US prepared for 9/11? Was Madrid prepared? London? Will anyone be "prepared" for lone wolves and terrorist attacks which have been years in the making?

Thank you all. I don't think words can express our gratitude for all the support we recieve from countries all over the world. We're small and each and every Norwegian have felt and still feels very strongly about this through anger, sorrow, hate, despair or confusion. This was our 9/11.

Yes, just a terrible time for all

[fireflyerz]

I was in Norway a few years back and I have friends living there , my condolences to one and all for this horrific event.
