Kav, MQ59, I´m happy to see that my mates norwegians and their families are well and safe.
My best wishes for the norwegian people and my condolence for the victims.

I hope that the perpetrators rot in jail :evil:

terrible thing to happen,lock him up and throw away the key,glad norway/duxford wing is safe

It's just heartbreaking, and very, very hard to comprehend and take in. As it seems it's one single person with an ideology similar to extreme rightwing, nationalistic and anti-multicultural sympaties, and that he operated on his own. It seems like these kinds of ideas never will die, but what is devostating is that someone actually is capable of react and act with a determination and means like this. This is in many ways why we have to keep history alive and keep on telling our children what happend in the era that the very game that have brought us togehter is all about; Never let totalitary ideologies and ideas dictate your mind - fight them! In my opinion it is the fact that we are different that makes us equal and legitimates human rights and freedom for all, all over the world - embrace diversity!

If this evil guy don't take himself out, he will be kept in a high security prison for the rest of his life. Rest assured gents. Norway don't excecute killers, we haven't done since 1945, but we have laws to keep confused and evil madmen like this detained in small, tiny rooms for life... He will never achieve absolute security for himself as long as he lives. Guys like this is prey in any prison.

The world is with you. Fred vaere med Norge.

Glad to hear all is well with Kav and McQ and families. This event is beyond shocking. I heard on the news this morning the maximum jail sentence this lunatic will face is 21 years. They need to give him consecutive sentences for each person he killed and throw away the key

I personally think they should leave him chained to a lampost in Oslo somewhere with a little sign saying who he is. Then go back for whatever is left after a couple of days.

The moment he pulled the trigger he lost all of his human rights in my eyes.

Obviously it's never going to happen, but jail is far too good for him.

Hopefully he'll be put into the general prison population, for a bunch of criminals prisoners usually have a quite good sense of justice and punishment...

Nordahl Grieg
 

Faced by your enemies
On every hand
Battle is menacing,
Now make your stand

Fearful your question,
Defenceless, open
What shall I fight with?
What is my weapon?

Here is your battle plan,
Here is your shield
Faith in this life of ours,
The common weal

For all our children’s sake,
Save it, defend it,
Pay any price you must,
They shall not end it

Neat stacks of cannon shells,
Row upon row
Death to the life you love,
All that you know

War is contempt for life,
Peace is creation
Death’s march is halted
By determination

We all deserve the world,
Harvest and seed
Hunger and poverty
Are born of greed

Don’t turn your face away
From needs of others
Reach out a helping hand
To all your brothers

Here is our solemn vow,
From land to land
We will protect our world
From tyrants’ hand

Defend the beautiful,
Gentle and innocent
Like any mother would
Care for her infant.

Nice posting Kav. I wasn't aware that this poem had been translated to english.
Strangely enough the guy that wrote it, Nordahl Grieg, fell down in a Lanc over Berlin in 1943. His body has never been recovered.

good one my friend KAV.
very nice!
long life NORWAY!
a great poem wrote by a great man,god bless NORDAHL GRIEG soul.

Glad to hear my fellow norwegians are safe. I do not live there but I do have family that does and they are all safe. My thoughts and prayers go out to all.
