What's most striking, and ironic, is that the Norwegian response to the Oslo attack is so glaringly un-American even though its core premise -- a brave refusal to sacrifice liberty and transparency in the name of fear and security -- was once the political value Americans boasted of exhibiting most. What we now have instead is the instinctive exploitation by political elites of every threat -- real and imagined -- as a means of eroding liberties, privacy and openness, based in part on fear and in part on an opportunistic desire for greater power. That's why Norway's courageous, principled response seems so foreign to American eyes and ears.

Amazing.

200.000 mennesker løftet i kveld roser opp mot himmelen for å hedre alle berørte i tragedien som inntraff i Oslo den 22.juli. Også utenfor Oslo, i hele Norge ble tilsvarende markeringer avholdt. Utenfor våre landsgrenser har vi også blitt møtt med sympati, empati, kondolanser og lykkeønskninger.

La det være nettopp dette som går inn i historiebøkene:

I juli 2011 slo Norge et vennligsinnet slag for demokrati, medmennesklighet og nestekjærlighet.

My heart goes out to the people of Norway

what happened was a true catastrophe.  I am still in shock that this was done by one man, one horrible, despicable man who goes and bombs a building with government officials killing and severely injuring many.  Then he goes to and island where there is a camp of teenagers between 17 and 19 years old who's families are part of the Labor party (from what I understood), dresses like a police officer and hunts down these kids.  He would go around saying "you will be safe with me" and killed them.  The ones who tried to swim away saw the water was too cold and went back to the island hopping they could hide.  

I hope this man rots. His insanity to want a more right-wing government led to the death of 92 people and probably more. 

This catastrophe truly breaks my heart.

Dagen derpå

Det er ikke mange ord jeg klarer å si i dag som kan beskrive det som har skjedd. Ordene mister sin mening; de er for begrenset i sitt uttrykk. En dyp sorg ligger over oss. En fortvilelse og en uvirkelighet som ingen noensinne skulle være nødt til å oppleve.Slå ring om dine nærmeste. La ingen være alene i dag. Vis din nestekjærlighet, og legg alle konflikter til side. I dag er vi ett folk. Og sammen skal vi klare å reise oss igjen. Sammen er vi sterke, sammen bygger vi håp. Ikke minst er det faktisk et lysglimt i denne situasjonen: Jeg er uhyre stolt av å se hvordan det politiske apparatet, helsevesenetet, politivesenetet og forsvaret har taklet denne situasjonen med enorm proffesjonalisme. Og eg er uhyre stolt av å se all den kjærligheten som alle privatpersoner har uttrykket i disse mørke timene. Det har gitt meg troen på vårt samfunn og vår fremtid. Alle mine tanker går ut til de pårørende, de skadde, de som er redde, og de som sitter igjen med skrekkfulle minner. <3

seems sleeping is out of the question tonight.  everything just feels wrong and horrific and painful.

Just can't stop thinking about those poor kids and the trauma they've experienced trying to escape the gunman dressed as a policeman while their friends are falling all around them. It is like a horrormovie. I will never ever watch battle royale after this ever again. ugh

New rumors tells that the body count might be 20-30. It's so bloody unreal and unfair. To each and every degree I am so fucking heartbroken. And I might never get the sound of the bomb exploding out of my head..
