Norway

I find it hard to believe what has happened in Norway. A more decent, democratic country is hard to find. My heart goes out to those who have been killed and injured and to their friends and families.
And it goes to show this: no society lacks its own home-grown terrorists. The danger is ourselves, far more than others.

This is the first I had heard. This is so awful.

There are no words. Deliberately targeting teenagers?

Right now, I think I might hate my species.

I only visited Norway once, but that's enough to identify. It is horrendous, from the UK pov worse than either Dunblane or 7/7.

We were only in Norway in January. A nicer, more helpful set of people we have never met.

Heartbroken.

It hasn't been a great weekend for news. But it does suggest that the far right is a genuine threat, though I do think it sounds as though this guy is mad.
