You should not worry about coming over here to Norway..

Do not know where you get your news updates, but over here they are constantly updated and all info leads to this being planned and executed by a single person, even if reports are coming in from various places of business where he bought single (and unsuspectful by themselves) ingredients to make the bomb, like fuel (nitromethane) for radio control cars from a RC shop, fertilizer for a agricultural supplier and so forth.. but all can be combined to make a bomb. One man was apparently arrested in poland, but he just has a webshop selling legal chemical supplies.

oh man they used nitro fuel from rc cars? Another reason I guess I am glad I went to electric as I bet the price of that stuff will go up even more now.

Haakon, it was beautiful to hear about the humanity there. I wish we could all be so noble.

Meanwhile, on FOX news...

"No one believing in Mohammed commits mass murder," he said. "The man might have called himself a Muslim on the net, but he is certainly not of that faith...we can find no evidence, none, that this killer practiced Islam in any way."

Edit: at least FOX was smart enough to fire this guy:

It's not only in prisons guards and police officers does not carry guns, all police in general here in Norway does not carry firearms on them or even in their vehicles. All guns are locked down at the police stations, and are only taken out when the situation calls for it, which is very rarely..

Citizens puts roses on a police car to show their appreciation for the police' efforts in apprehending the terrorist and stopping further killings:

and some applauding and cheering the police staff in a very difficult time to motivate their spirits:

And some showing their appreciation to the medics and hospital staff by covering an ambulance with roses...

I´ve been in Oslo yesterday. Good to see live is coming back into the streets. I´ve seen tons of flowers walking around downtown area and visited the Hard Rock Cafe. Still don´t get it why that douche went after all those kids. :(
