Figured someone else would have made this topic by now, but apparently they haven't. So I figured I may as well make it.

The first [attack] was a bomb explosion in Regjeringskvartalet...at 15:22 (CEST), outside the office of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg and other government buildings. The explosion killed eight people and wounded several others... The second attack occurred less than two hours later at a youth camp organized by the youth organization (AUF) of the Norwegian Labour Party (AP) on the island of Utøya in Tyrifjorden, Buskerud. A gunman disguised as a policeman opened fire at the campers, killing 68 attendees...


So, what are your thoughts?

It's sickening the way most people are brushing it off as nothing, yet when space-wasting washed up celebrities die, they mourn for weeks and try to capitalize with TV specials.

Welcome to life, where people ignore the many, and focus on the few.

One death is a tragedy, a million a statistic.

All deaths are sad. But when celebrities die, they make such a big deal out of it.
More than what needs to be made.

This is such a horrible thing to have happen.
The policeman-disguise gig really disgusts me.

Can't deny the point how the guy must have been pretty kickass if he managed to avoid getting caught and killed that many people without getting noticed for a while.

Too bad his killstreak reward is anything but.
