By his own admission he had been planning this for years. He had the means for the bomb ie farm fertilizer. And yes we now have the account of how he did indeed surrender to the police. Not a rational act but nor was what he did. In his own head, he is 'innocent'.
I think it is quite possible he did indeed plan and execute this himself. You can be mad, bad AND intelligent you know?

He will probably get 21 years and after that the court can sentence him to 10 years in custody at the time after that if they deam him a danger to society. I don't think he will ever be let out again. he will be charged by straffelovens (criminal law) § 147a which carries the maximum sentence of 21 years.
If he gets maximum, which i hope; he will get 7665 days in jail where everyone knows what he did, the most pathetic thing; killing children, I hope he gets what he deserves on the inside, and when he comes out he comes out to a Norway that doesnt want him or like him. He will never have a life again. Sadly he is a complete maniac so he will never understand this. My hope is that he one day wakes up from his own brainwashing and hatred and understand what he did on Utøya.

So you are saying, that any of us could buy the needed material to create a bomb, build the bomb and then park it near the Prime Minister's building, dress up like a cop and go and shoot 85 people, if not more.
I think you have misunderstood me completely. I was actually compairing the PM's building to the WH in refference to the very high security measures taken in order to our nations leaders protected from incidents such as these. In no way was I implying that you could just as easily pull into the PM's building as you would a common rest area. And no I was not saying that anyone who would be so inclined could have pulled this off. The point that I was trying to make was that if security was even half as sophisticated in Norway as it is here, he would have had to have had a lot of help in doing this, and he really did go it alone, then the man must be genious to be able to successfully carry out this operation alone.
I actually assumed that security in Oslo would probably be greater or at very least equivelant to what I have seen in Washington DC... This assumption based on the seemingly higher level of security that I have noticed in during my very limited travel in Europe.
You are comparing this to America, well I am sorry to break it to you - but Norway or any other Scandinavian country for that matter, is NOTHING alike the US when it comes to infrastructure and security matters. This is nothing like parking a car bomb close to the white house and then going off to the private school of Obama's children and shoot things up. Nothing alike, whatsoever.
I have never been to Norway, but I didn't think that they shared a great many cultural simillarities. I was only saying that I am sure that you care about and do your very best to protect your PM... Also I am sure that a great deal of effort is put into protecting the famillies of Norway's national leaders as well. Hence, my belief that the killings in the youth camp were also not as easy as it was portrayed by the media.
What he did was what any intellectual psychopathic individual could do with enough time to plan, acquire materials and then execute the plan. Nobody was onto him, nobody knew it was going to happen - therefore he had no rush, no sloppy work was done and that is the reason why he succeeded in his psychopathic cause.
By this, do you mean that he could have just been insane? I highly doubt that. Sociopath? Yeah maybe, but not with reason or wits...
I do agree that there might be something more in the works here, there always are, regardless of the event/ disaster/ war. Everybody has secret agendas, even you and if you deny that, you deny human nature.
ido not think that I have ever agreed more on any statement. We are all either in persuit of or running from something. Whether you are a priest, politician, doctor, lawyer, ect... there is something that you want out of whatever you are doing in life, no human being can trully be selfless in public service. This is the prime reason that i find it hard trust any gov't.
US posters, even many UK posters, what you must understand is that Norway does not have CCTV everywhere, they do not have police dispatched on every single street corner (exaggeration) and they do not have as successful terror squads or intelligence as the US or UK does.
Now I'm confused... So there is or isn't adequate security?

We are a union of countries that relies too much on the positive in people, I am not speaking about issues of war, criminals, but terror. We have been targeted for many years as top priority targets by terrorist organizations and the intelligence organizations have prevented any foreign terrorist attacks, what one cannot predict is the cause of action of ones own.

Norway is a freedomloving people. They believe strongly in free speech and the individuals right to the truth at whatever price. These youth camps was a gathering of teens exhanging polictical ideas and training to debate. Much a good platform for a future in politics or how to further take the rudder over a nation that prides itself to promote good business, free speech, a sound press and peaceful interactions with its neighbours. That is at least my picture of this nation on my travels around Scandinavia.
Btw. just saw the Norwegian King Haakon cry in church as the prime minister Stoltenberg mumbled something about having his friends shot on that island. When a nation sees its much beloved King and queen cry on Live TV over a deed like this I can assure you that they will not spare any resources to arrest the rest of the criminals behind this deed. And Norway is a very very rich nation. You make out the rest.edit on 24-7-2011 by johncarter because: (no reason given)edit on 24-7-2011 by johncarter because: (no reason given)

I am in Scandinavia right now(Sweden) and as I follow this drama in Norway, I ask myself the most natural question no journalist has written about , how exactly was this psychopath, loaded with ak5:s, tons of ammo, and a whopping 90 lives on his conscience arrested?
Not a word . Complete silence. What? Did a cop just walk over to him and shouted, halt you are arrested in the name of justice? Did a SWAT team get him? Alive?!!! This guy just massacred over 90 ppl. Not a chance he would just hand over himself alive to the police. The sentence for terrorist acts in Norway is 21 years minimum!

I smell a rat here.
Geopolitically Norway has been a nuisance for the TPTB for decades, due to its enormous wealth and complete lack of national debt. They are anti-israeli and declared recently that they support a palestenian state and have withdraw any and all support of Israel.
The current OP in Norway is executed by a minumum team of two to three persons. Not one. Those here with a certain military experience can easily see how impossible it would be to execute this entire operation singlehandedly.
Whats also interesting is that it came just in time with the current Murdoch fever in Brittish press. Suddenly its all silence there and all news only about this. Very convenient if you ask me.
Like 911 this dreadful occurence has in a way disabled peoples ability to think critically and ask the necessary questions behind the deed. Who benefits from this? Why now? What syncronicitydo we see with other geopolitical/economic issues?

He also refers to it as a third way. If you only look for left/right, he puts himself squarely on the right side, simply because the left already occupies the opposite side. In short he is opposed to the norwegian left and on a right/left scale that put's him on the right.
Errr, no, everything you just described puts him squarely in the political right., by definition.

Methinks the relatively minimum damage done to the Oslo building from this fertilizer bomb confirms suspicions there was more than one bomb at the OKC Murrah Building which was completely obliterated.
