Here’s a foreign student member of the poltical group on the island explaining his experience. I still ask. especially seeing the size of this student, why they didn’t come together in that hour and a half and take this guy down?

This guy was very meticulous in what he was going to do and clearly seen in his manifesto...he took the time and thought to arrange every detail I believe including his giving himself up and plans to use the media to get his word out....no doubt believes in his cause.

I can't explain, but I have a theory (just a theory):

The Norwegian life experience for younger Norwegians does not include enough learning moments encouraging individualist problem solving leadership thinking.

Young Norwegians are not exposed to "seize the day" thinking scenarios, but rather, "form a committee" scenarios. That typifies socialist education, and Norway has only international Socialists (the Left), and National Socialists (the not so far left). There are no cowboys or vigilance committees in Norway.

For the same reason the sheep does attack the wolf. Remember this was an retreat for young socialist, not a boy scout camp. They (European Left)are indoctrinated to believe "The State" will care for them

So they waited to be "saved" like good little socialist sheep ....

Baaaah!!
