To my norwegians brothers and sisters...

As the only Norwegian on this forum to have answered so far I thank you all for your kind worlds and thoughts. This is the bloodiest killing in the country since the Second World War, and the only terrorist act since 1979 (when a right wing nutter threw a bomb at a 1st of May parade). Luckily, the culprit was cought right away,and ha seem to have been a lonly nutter.

My thoughts are with you Norwegians too in this sad hour. I have many times walked the streets of Oslo and it really hurts that violence like this has come to a place where most thought you could walk safely.

[Raggz]

thanks to you all. I have no words just tears!
My thougthts goes to friends and their familys that lost their loved ones!

[NedLynch]

I would like to express my deep simpathy as well. It's completely imcomprehensible to me what happened.
Can't find words to express how terrible I think this is.

Norwegia(sp?) where is this? Can't say I have heard of Oslo either.

Ditto....seriously...what a despicable act, there is no defense for this...whatever is going on in his sick mind...my prayers and thoughts for the victims.

I nearly never post in these threads, because nothing I say or post here can make much of a differance or console those who lost friends or family or just as important, fellow human beings.

Especially this incident is such a horrific and sad loss of talent, ability, potential and irreplaceable human life at the hands of one hate filled man, who felt it was justifiable to steal the lives of others before they could really live.
No one, no country ever deserves or can be ready for these types of events, but the most important thing is that you dont let the spirit and ideals of the Norway before the attack die with those who are now lost.

To our Norwegian friends- sorry this has happened to you guys. Every person i've met from your great country has been a credit to you. Sorry for your loss.

As a Norwegian, I have spent this last weekend in shock, in tears, in anger and in deep sorrow. 92 people are so far dead in an event that will go down in our history as the day we lost our innocence, and as a day where we get a cruel and cold reminder that we are not as safe up here as we thought we were. It has been a weekend spent in strong and conflicting emotions and where many questions have been asked. At the forefront of those question is a simple one. "Why?"

I hang my head in shame because of what one of our own has done. I hang my head in shame because of the fear he created, for the anger he has triggered, and the immense sorrow he has brought upon not only the families of those that was so violently taken away from their families, their friends and their loved ones, but also the sorrow he has brought upon the rest of us as a nation.

As was said in a movie, we will not go quietly into the night. He will not scare us into leaving our ideals, and he will not extinguish our spirit. We will prove to him that we will continue to be who and what we are, and we will prove to him that his actions were futile. We will show him that the only thing his hideous and despicable actions have managed to do is to bring us closer together, that we care about each other, and that we will continue to do so in the future.

On behalf of all of us, I want to thank you that have written in this post for your thoughts and sympathy. It will not bring back the ones that have gone away, but it might help to ease the pain a little.
