I turned on the tv yesterday and watched the live feed from Oslo on the bombing. I thought it was interesting that when I turned the channel to an English news network, they were proclaiming that the only ones who could have been responsible was Al Qaeda and terrorists because of the organisation. But as soon as it became clear that the attack is actually not muslim in origin and actually the accused is a nationalist the words were changed from "terrorist" to "madman"...
Regardless, this is a horrible thing that happened. My thoughts go out to the families of all those affected.
Update on the accused...according to Aftonbladet's live feeds (Swedish paper), if the accused man is found guilty, he will recieve up to 21 years in jail according to the chief of police.
As of now, 84 dead at the camp, 7 in the Oslo bombing.
