A gunman who opened fire on an island teeming with young people kept shooting for 1.5 hours before surrendering to a SWAT team, which arrived 40 minutes after they were called, police said Saturday

And apparently waited until the guy ran out of ammo before coming in to arrest him. The Norwegian elites whose children were at the camp learned that the people they rely upon for protection will not risk their own lives, even for children of the political class. It must have been a sobering realization.

They had a chance to learn it before.

And if those children were meant would-be leaders, now one can see what kind of leaders they promise to become.

Don’t bet on it . It would require the ability to think for oneself to realize that the police will not help you if it endangers themselves.

Very disturbing, to say the least. Either the Norwegian authorities assumed the shooter was Islamic and they had sympathies for his cause or they sympathized with a fellow Norwegian attacking this group.
