For me the question that needs to be asked is what drove him to it.
My theory is he was tired of immigrants taking over his country
Then why didn't he kill 90 immigrants, or attack a mosque while everyone was on their knees inside, like some Muslims attack other Muslims at prayer?
Why did he kill his own Norwegian people, if "anti-Muslim" or "anti-immigrants" motivated him?
It doesn't make any sense. I also don't understand how one man can shoot 90 kids, one at a time, without any adult trying to stop him.

I did read the manifesto, found no valid points in it really, and a lot of bigotry.
If there is something I missed, please enlighten me.

I could pull this off in downtown Manhattan with a budget of 8 grand- most of which would go to ammonium nitrate fertilizer and 150 gallons or so of diesel.
Which you would put into your car?!?
Can you cite an example of a lone individual who has carried out an attack similar to the one in Oslo, unassisted? I can't think of one myself.
Apparently exploding bullets were used. I'm no ballistics expert, but is it possible that exploding bullets were used to foil ballistics tests that might otherwise be used to determine how many shooters there were?
Any home handyman knows that it is easy to say, "I could do this or I could do that", but actually doing these sorts of things is usually much trickier and more time consuming than first realized.
This might be the act of a lone individual but I hope that the police in Oslo are taking a very careful look at everything and not taking that for granted.
XRBR Manufacturer
Xtreme Rabid Badger Rounds signal a paradigm shift in home defense and anti-terrorism ammunition. Utilizing the same state of the art technology that puts foam dinosaurs in those plastic capsules that dissolve in hot water, I've been able to enhance what would be otherwise boring hollowpoint ammunition with a rabid badger core. The exact process is like, totally secret and proprietary.
Upon striking the body of your target, a rabid badger is unleashed through a process that involves a lot of really hard to understand math and physics calculations, and possibly some magic. The resulting stopping power goes beyond devastating, and is actually completely unable to be measured. In every ballistic test conducted, the badger ate the gelatin block, and then quickly turned on the testers.
My cores use very expensive laboratory grade badgers that are 99.9% pure, and 100% insane with rabies.
The shock of a rabid badger bursting from a teammate's body and then going totally nuts adds a psychological warfare element unmatched by any other ammunition maker in the industry today. To further enhance this, I took a cue from the A-10 Warthog, and painted a scary face on each and every round.
Already in use by Elite Team Fighting and many other highly trained special operations forces around the world, XRBR rounds represent the zenith in small arms ammunition technology. Get yours today!

(1) Believes he is apart of an old medieval organization.
(2) Believes he has some sort of self importance.
(3) Believes his actions will lead to something epic.
Delusions of grandeur, messenger of God, and flat affect.

If you pay attention to his emotional state, the killer does not seem to portray any empathy.
We may not be looking at someone with a religious or political agenda.
His motivations could be lead by a mental disorder.

You guys are nuts - he said he wanted to be taken alive so he could stand trial and have a platform to explain his actions. On a small island you'd just have to shoot a bunch of rounds in a general direction and given the power and distance they can travel it's not uprising he hit so many people. I bet with a standard ar15 and a bunch of 100 round beta c mags you could pop off 300+ rounds before anyone really understood what was going on or where the shoots were coming from.
In a just world they would convict him seconds before tossing him into a tree shredder.

1 day before the incident, a local news tv here in indonesia was reporting about the group of girl scout to atend a intl. camp in norway. FYI all the girls came from a single and only province in indonesia, that got special autonomy to implement islamic law. the province of aceh, also nicknamed 'the front door of mecca' to indonesia
I find this interesting, if for nothing else than the timing. Has there been further comment about this, and if so, would you mind posting a link? Thanks.
im sorry but i wasnt able to find any link. i might have misheard, didnt think it was important that time. this is embarasing
but i found many links saying about scoutcamps in sweden. maybe i realy overheard.
the station that covered this is TV ONE. often considered as the most propaganda oriented tv station in my country.
