Utøya shooting and Oslo bombings.

[former member]

Not an easy thread to respond to, too many similarities with Oklahoma City. I lost a friend in that bombing. My deepest sympathies to those that lost loved ones in this tragedy.

I hope the nations of the world work together to prevent tragedies like this in the future, whether carried out domestically or internationally.

Brian,

Thank you.

From the back side of the Oslo Court House with all the people waiting for Anders Behring Breivik being transported to the first court appearance. I can't remember such a hateful atmosphere. The court meeting had to be postponed so the police could strengthen security.

On the other side of the Oslo Court House, the international press were waiting, hoping the meeting would be 'public'. The judge decided not to make it public.

Spontaneously, citizens of Oslo arranged a flower march. More than 200.000 attended. Here, a some leftovers with pictures of a young couple that were killed at Utøya.
