Charles Johnson is the one spreading the Fjordman lie. What a magnificent scumbag the ponytail is...

I hope Fjordman sues his ass.

So you’re a policeman (or a ferry worker) and you just heard about some sort of explosion in Oslo. So you’re worried about a blonde guy speaking native Norwegian on a ferry?

You’re making the assumption that there are any police on the ferry or at the ferry terminal. I seriously doubt that. Norway isn’t Israel.

“One armed adult with one bullet could have stopped this massacre.”

One brave, determined, possibly self-sacrificing armed adult with one bullet could have stopped this massacre.
Or even an improvised weapon.
I find it hard to believe there were zero security personnel on this island.

The perp had three legal guns.... THIS will change Norway for a long time....

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.

So every summer camp in the woods in this country has armed security personnel?

I heard something about school buses missing in the US? Does anyone remember how many are missing?

And you would be right macquire if this were a thread about norwegian politics. But it’s not. This thread is about a horrible tragedy. Not a thread to brag about your heritage to conjure up some rights to bash with your broad brush.

I have not seen much or any coverage of this on TV am I missing something?

Few if any of the 24 hour news channels have any live programming past about 9:00 or 10:00 pm in the US. And Sky News just started scrolling the news at the bottom of the screen, while continuing to rerun earlier coverage over and over.

Boy you opened up a can o worms, LOL. But thanks for telling everyone youre 50% Norwegian. That helps people like me understand the history of Norway a bit better than previously. It does seem to be a complex issue. I find similar issues in Canada. Most Americans down south (Texas in particular, where I’m from) think Canada is 100% socialist, but I have found that is far from the truth (now in CA but moving back to TX).

Port Arthur, in Tasmania, would be in there somewhere, too, iirc.

Some information....

Utoeya, a small island about 40 kilometers west of Oslo, shooting TWO HOURS after a deadly bomb explosion rocked the government building quarters in the Norwegian capital city.

gunman in his 30s was described carrying a pistol and a rifle with ‘telescopic sight’. He started shooting a few minutes after he landed on the island known as Utoeya,

At a press conference on Friday evening, Sveinung Sponheim, deputy police chief in Oslo, said that they ‘fear there was a bomb on the island’.

I believe you failed to sense my point. My question for you is this: Would you be more or less alert after the initial explosion?

Getting some info from a neighbour.

He seemed to be a narcisist.

I.e, Believing he was a genious not properly acknowledged. Acted very pedantic and anal. Apparently even his World of Warcraft friends considered him a bit of a nerd. Seems like a very insecure man.

At the same time I am wondering if his online posts were a scam. He attacks the EDL for being too aggressive...

That seems to make sense as Johnson’s site published something - although the original source of the claim seems to be Swede.

We’ll most probably know more than we ever wanted to know about Breivik’s beliefs and interweb activities in the next few days, if not tomorrow.

“He would fit in here at freerepublic.”

I’m getting really sick of you posting your own vanity and posting on every related thread attempting to equate this slaughter with the the typical mindset of Free Republic, and nobody calling you out on it.

You are absolutely FOS. Just because he liked SciFi or whatever doesn’t mean squat.

Only a deranged, excrement eating psycho homo would slaughter 80+ innocent children at a summer camp like this freak did.

Lay off the “He would fit in here at freerepublic” BS, you obviously have an ulterior motive for posting such vomitous dreck.

Creep.
