This is terrible. The knifewielding crazy person murdered everyone in this bus. It happened in the rural part of Norway so not many passenger.It took a long time before the cops and ambulances were able to get help. Wish one of them would have had a gun.

They make sure to disperse the “asylum seekers” and their extended families far and wide in Scandinavia. Can’t completely dilute and destroy the culture if you don’t get to the small towns also.

Does it make sense to arm normal people? Wouldn’t it work better to eliminate knives, guns, baseball bats, clubs, arrows, tire irons, and other objects that can be used as weapons? I’m sure that if we just had enough laws, criminals would stop committing violent acts.

Big deal. A Kenyan just hijacked the entire US health care system and a lot more than three people are going to die. No knife needed.

The most dangerous people don't need weapons; just the power and ability to pull strings, give orders or legislate

It’s not a dupe! It is a different article covering the same event and should stand.

This town is in the middle of nowhere. I visited Norway in the 80’s and drove through this area; just incredibly beautiful landscape. But the people were pretty provincial once you got out of the urban areas. No idea why this particular town was targeted.

same one.

I said this would make the international media soon.

I just posted as soon I saw the story. One thing freerepublic has been good at is being first with international breaking news stories.
