So obviously they have condemned France for having a mass public shooting death rate FOUR TIMES HIGHER THAN THE US.

Right?


WOW, what is up with Norway? Includes Viking Berserkers?

That might be better expressed as "a bunch of Norwegian politicians sent their kids to a remote island that no one who could stop a deranged shooter could reach for hours.

Didn't he also stash a few bombs around town? Anders Brevik wasn't it?

EDIT: Just one and I misspelled his name but I don't care

2011 terror attacks
Main article: 2011 Norway attacks

Oslo city centre, shortly after Breivik's ANFO car bomb detonated

Flowers laid in front of Oslo Cathedral the day after the attacks
On 22 July 2011, Breivik detonated a fertilizer bomb outside the tower block housing the office of Prime Minister Jens Stoltenberg in Oslo, resulting in eight deaths.[74]

Within a few hours of the explosion he travelled to Utøya island, the site of a camp for Worker's Youth League, posing as a police officer in order to take the ferry to the island, and then fired intermittently for more than one hour, killing 69[75][76][77] with one murder victim as young as 14 years old.[78][79][80]

Arrest
When the public force counter-terrorism unit (based in Oslo) arrived on the island and confronted him, he surrendered without resistance.[81] After his arrest, he was held by armed police on the island, and interrogated throughout the night, before being moved to a holding cell in Oslo.

Breivik confessed and said the purpose of the attack was to save Norway and Western Europe from a Muslim takeover, and that the Labour Party had to "pay the price" for "letting down Norway and the Norwegian people."[82]

After his arrest Breivik referred to himself as "the greatest monster since Quisling."
