A Double Tragedy for Norway

No, I did not say that Norway is more deserving of being attacked. What I did say is that with the kind of leadership you have (Holme, for example – he hasn’t made an honest effort to find any answers from what I read), that it wouldn’t be surprising to see this happen in the future. For starters, it took your police force 90 minutes to show up – that’s unacceptable and it appears that they either don’t have the numbers to do the job adequately and/or that they are tied down by procedures that prevent them from appearing in a timely manner for something like this.

And given the fact that it is unreasonable to expect the police to be on the site the moment a serious crime is being committed, maybe you Norwegians should start thinking about legalizing concealed carry permits in order to be able to defend yourselves under such circumstances. The shooter had plenty of time to reload, which would have given an armed adult who has a concealed carry permit time to shoot back. I don’t know how many lives would have been saved here with concealed carry permits being allowed by the law but it would have been significant.

Finally, you do have a Muslim problem, regardless of how supplicant some of your politicians are (like Holme) towards them. Too many of them are not interested in living peacefully amongst the non-Muslims and no amount of reasoning with this faction will convince them otherwise. But if you don’t believe me, feel free to ask the Egyptian Copts what it is like to live under this group of Muslims.
