What do these people think they achieve?

One of the biggest mysteries I can imagine. Suicide bombings get buried on about page 12 of the paper these days - they've become so commonplace that no one even cares anymore. Obviously Oslo isn't the normal location for any kind of bombing, so it's making headlines, but still...I can't begin to imagine what people think this will achieve.

Wow. 80+ dead. From what I've read, sounds like some international extremist groups have tried to "take credit" for this, but the latest is that it was actually some homegrown domestic terrorist act. One official said the attack "is probably more Norway's Oklahoma City than it is Norway's World Trade Center." I suppose we will learn more in the days ahead.

In lieu of the latest reports, I'm waiting for the worldwide profiling of right-wing blond-haired Caucasians to commence. Or at least for Herman Cain's statement that he'll be excluding them from his cabinet.

I'm not too concerned about laying blame yet...the press isn't real keen on checking sources at first...I'll let the dust settle. But in the mean time I feel horrible for the families of those lost. What a tragedy, regardless of where or when something like this occurs.

I've been watching CNN's tweets on this and will continue to do so. My Grandmother on my Mother's side who recently passed was Norwegian. This is a tragedy.

For the second time I've received email from friends regarding a very extremist event. First from a friend in Stockholm and now Oslo. Very sad.

I, personally, would hope that we don't politicize this thread. Not now.
It's just awful-ugly-gut-wrenching bad, and and a horrible day for all of us. I ain't a praying type, but tonight I'm praying for the families of those kids out on a camping trip. We can start another thread for analysis. Let this one be for mourning. May the nearly 100 people victimized by some single, lone maniac rest in peace. |

Saying a prayer for them is certainly the right thing to do. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Stone, apologies. But it was a political atrocity.
The 80+ gunned down were part of Norway's youth movement for their Labour Party. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2011/07/23......a=blog_1 The killer was attacking the country's future. It's a horrible crime- beyond all comprehension.  Prayers should be said indeed.

Wow, Norway's toughest criminal sentence is 21 years?! Nothing like killing 92 people and getting out of prison in time for your 55th birthday party.
