What is mind boggling is that one man could set off the bomb and kill so many people singlehandedly.

Horrifying!

My deepest heartfelt empathy and sympathy for you and your countrymen, Eurotwit. I do know God is not responsible for these deaths, it was evils' work. May the perp suffer unspeakable horror for each life he has taken.

Probably so.

Setting aside the monstrosity of it for second.....what a freaking idiot. As a political act, this was monumentally stupid.

It sounds like the people on the island were sitting ducks. Trapped with nowhere to hide. Was there any security there at all?

I have to wonder, if there had been just one armed citizen there (other than the criminal), would we be seeing a much lower number of murders?
In New York City some years ago, a man with a machete began to hack people to death on the Staten Island ferry. Luckily, a retired cop was on board, and he just happened to have a gun on him. He ended the killing spree by threatening the machete man with the gun. Two people died from the machete wounds, but it could have been much worse.

My sympathies to the families of the dead, and to all Norwegians.
