This is an incredibly frightening time to be alive.

[K-man]

I've got a good friend (college bud) that moved to Oslo to work for Funcom.  Statistically speaking he's probably OK, but I'm not going to rest easy until I hear from him.

Damn, whats with the crazies?

[Quemaqua]

80 children murdered.

What the fuck. Just what the fuck.

[Xessive]

Holy.. My God.. I can't understand why. Why the F would someone do this?!!

[scottws]

What assholes!

[K-man]

Got a response from my friend:

"ya, things are ok here, for us at least.  Luckily almost everyone is
on vacation now or the results would have been far worse."

WTF

Norwegian television and newspaper reports have identified the suspect as 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik.

Official sources and social media indicate that Breivik might be a right-wing Christian fundamentalist who may have had an issue with Norway's multi-cultural society.

A religious fundamentalist. How surprising.

I'm shocked, shocked zealotry was involved.

*sigh*  Maybe Karl Marx was right.

[Cools!]

At least it's not Muslims.

Well I mean it's sort of given that an extremist would be responsible for this.
