Bomb blown up in Oslo Norway today

police just said: over 80 killed at utøya 

80 people majority of them Children with bright futures, absolutely shocking and horrific.

Humanity is a scary thing that's for sure, that's the one thing I take away from this. A human is capable of doing just about anything no matter how gruesome or brutal it may be.

80 people?  That's far worse than I ever imagined.  This is horrific.

It's 80 now? Oh Jesus. I think that's made him one of the serial killers with the highest body count, unfortunately.  I've also read elsewhere that the shooter was armed with an AK-47 rifle? If so, I'm sure that will raise some questions seeing as it was reported as being an automatic weapon. It's tragic to think that in spite of all the brilliant things the human race as done we are still motivated to kill one another for reasons that nobody is certain of. Norway is such a peaceful country so it is impossibly saddening to discover that the harmony and peace has been shattere by the scum of the earth.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100002651290254 this is the person responsible. He matches the age, he lives in the address that the police has raided a little while ago. And his pictures blurred on Norwegian Newsreports are the same as his. He makes me fucking puke

They must have taken his page down, because I can't view it from here. It doesn't really matter what he looks like, but I was still interested...

@xMP44x: This doesn't make him a serial killer.  It does however make him a mass murderer.  And how the fuck did the body count get up to 80?  A few hours ago I read that it was 17!

This is such an utter tragedy. The pain this country is feeling right now I can't imagine. My thought are with the victims and their families. Truly a sad day.

I'm just realising my mistake. Whoops! For a mass murderer though, he has still jumped right up the charts, which is tragic regardless of the classification of his act.

I would not be surprised if Facebook did take his page down, in order to prevent controversy and groups such as Fox News suggesting extremists use Facebook to organize attacks against the world. His Twitter account, @AndersBBreivik is not yet down, though it almost definitely will go down soon enough.

This would probably make him the mass murderer with the highest body count. I know serial killers worse than this, but no mass murderer.
 
@TooWalrus: His twitter is till up.

Wow.. 80+....

There are not even words.

@raiz265: It is atleast 80 that's the worst part, the number can only rise tragically.

Lucky us, he had E-Sports listed as one of his interests on Facebook... :| Still can't believe how one fucking guy singlehandedly kills 80 people... jesus.....   edit: not even people... fucking KIDS

He's definitely up there, unless you count terrorist attacks as mass murder (I do, but I'm not sure if they are "technically" in the same category). Either way it doesn't matter, this is really fucked up.  Makes me feel similar to the way I did on 9/11, I hope this motherfucker pays.

This is hideous! Up to 80 killed! Shocking stuff.

This is the worst feeling I have ever gotten. At first I knew of a large bombing, and 1 confirmed death. Then I read on the news that another person had died, and that there were an on-going shooting at Utøya, but at the time I thought it was an misunderstanding, that it was just a crazy rumour created by the chaos. Suddently 7 people were confirmed dead from the explotion, around the same time that the gunman was captured. Just as I thought it had ended, witnesses reported to have seen at least 30 people killed, but even that seemed like an exaggaration. The police confirmed 10 deaths at Utøya, which is awful enough on it's own, but at least not as awful as 30.

At this point I was talking with friends and about how awful it was, and how awful it could have been. When I heard that at least 80 people had been confirmed dead, I got sick. These were kids, my age, from the same country as I, who were attending the friendliest event I could have imagined, a youth-political camp, where kids get together to have fun and learn about politics. I literally could not have imagined a friendlier place. I know it doesn't make a difference who they were, killing is always terrible, but I really could not have imagined this happening in Norway, and at a place like that. Whenever I hear of terrible things like this, It's usually in another part of the world, affecting people that are different that I. Now it actually happened to people just like me.

This is fucking horrible.

Now it actually happened to people just like me.

I don't mean to make light of a tragic situation, but this is eerily similar to the movie "Rampage" by Uwe Boll

Thanks for saying what absolutely did not need to be said.

it wasn't really kids, the "youth" camp means 15-25 year olds, as far as I know; still doesn't make it ok, just sayin

You know, Terrorism, as abhorrent as it is, I could always try to understand. I could make an attempt to see their side of the story. No matter how wrong someone may be I always felt they must be able to justify their action in some way at the very least to themselves.

This? I can't. I can't even fathom what could possibly drive any person to do this bar intense neurological problems.

It's disgusting. And its one of the few times that a piece of news has genuinely made me feel literally sick.

I can't imagine how the people of Norway must feel.

@cheebaking: If you factor that there where 31 murders in the whole of Norway last year, the total death count today of around 90 so far is astounding for the country.

It's terrible because I have a friend in Norway

I can't believe the bombing ended up being a lesser tragedy.. Hang in there dear neighbors.

@TooWalrus: His twitter is till up.

Oh no! Last I heard the death toll was around 15-20. This is seriously tragic. Is their any idea if the man detained is affiliated with any groups? A bombing and a shooting, he couldn't have done it alone, right?

@Dany: All signs point to this being a one man job, the bomb site is a good 45 minute drive from ut øya so he could've done it alone.

Some reports from BT.no says he spoke with someone on a headset while killing them, and some of the witnesses say people dressed as police officers, not person as some say.
 And the police is dodging the question about possibly more then one person.

The fact that the shooter has been cited as a gamer is unsettling: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/23/world/europe/23oslo.html

The fact that many media outlets are still finding ways to tie the Al-Qaeda boogeyman into this is pretty rich - the guy arrested for the attacks is apparently hard right and anti-muslim. Oh well, I guess the bullshit machine gotta keep spinning right?

87 people dead, what a stunning catastrophe. 
Condolences and heartfelt sadness for all those who were the victims, and all Norwegians. Simply unacceptable and unforgivable, these radicals of all stripes are going to be the death of all what humanity stands for.  
How could one person be so hateful and deprived of any conscience to even attempt this? I am almost tempted to open the guy's head up and examine his brain in morbid curiosity to see whether he had any brain deformities. Probably there were accomplices, smoke the rats out and give them what for.

I am lost for words... My heart goes out to all Norwegians.

I can feel shock giving way to anger this morning. Time to dust off the high-treason paragraph, and line the fucker up against the walls of Akershus Fortress.

@Draugen: I feel the same way man, it kinda scares me to be honest, but I want this guy to fry I want him to experience as much pain as humanly possible, just pure hatred for the man.

I think something like this is more appropriate:

EDIT: read through more recent stuff, hadn't realized this thread was almost a day old. Jesus, that sucks. My heart goes out to the poor people suffering from this in whatever way.

Man, that is some rough shit. Sometimes I forget how terrifyingly powerful explosives can be. Readying some translated articles, it looks like so far only two people have been found dead, although several were apparently severely injured. Let's hope those injured don't become casualties.

I am still quite shaken up, as I was up in Karl Johan street when it went off. I am just glad I was far enough away to not get hit by debris or anything.

Glad your ok man.

I'm doubting this is a terrorist attack, hopefully. I heard it's a national holiday in Norway today so the area where the attack took place was pretty empty, which seems counter intuitive for terrorists. It might have been some construction work.. Hopefully not many are injured.

You mean, hopefully NO ONE are injured? You speak as if it was all chill and cool. A fucking bomb exploded, dude. People's lives are at stake here. Anyone who puts a bomb in a building and detonates it is a terrorist, no matter their nationality.

I'm not sure it's any better to be totally unrealistic than hopeful. Those pictures would have to have been taken in a ghost town for no one to have been injured, and it was already stated that people were injured but with no definite number. I don't think he is saying that it was a non-terrorist bomb, judging by the last bit he isn't convinced it was a bomb in the first place. Either way, you are over-reacting a bit mate. It's a tragedy, yes, but that doesn't mean you need to let go of common sense.

Freedom vs Not Freedom is an argument that is simply too epic to argue anymore.
 
This could always happen. Everyone here knows it. Everyone is basically free to do it.

That's why laws are in place, freedom does not give you the right to kill someone.

Wow, I go to bed with a death count of 17, and now that I wake up 8 hours later its up to 87? Damn...words just aren't enough.

they aired it pretty much all day yesterday on TV here in Denmark. Its horrible, i can't believe this has come so close to home. Terrorists are the scum of the earth.
