I do not think they 'ran' with it - they reported it - at least what I heard they always stressed caution until more info was in.

Hmmmm, your title says the man is identified as the attacker and all your sources say he has been suspected. Is there a difference or is your way just the way lefties do things?

Run along now kiddo, the adults are having a conversation.
So the perpetrator is a right wing nutcase. Guess I was right .... maybe even righteous .... to sound a note of caution before jumping to conclusions.

I have to say, I havent had any electricity all evening, we got directly hit, but since this horrible incident has happened it took me a while to find out whats going on.
But I have to say, why am I not shocked by some of the responses I have read here, and I have to say....and this applies only to the obvious ones....
What the hell is the matter with you people??????
I am am appalled!

78% of Norwegians say religion has little importance in their lives. I think that disqualifies Norway of being a Christian nation

I think this thread needs to be closed. And maybe the OP should apologize...

The sicko listed "Dexter" as one of his favorite t.v. shows according to the Facebook page link someone posted.

He thinks very highly of himself as he explains how much knowledge he has of some 14,000 hours of study in one subject and 4,000 in another, he's telling you that he's some kinda authority in his studies. Of course that makes him a self-righteous idiot.

I hope Norway throws this filthy s.o.b. in a cell with a muslim extremist.

That guy is a cold-hearted murderer. I am happy that he didn't kill himself and will get his sentence.
I read all the pages in this thread and some of you are really disgusting. This whole "all terrorist are muslims" is so dumb not because its political incorrect but because it is not TRUE. I don't even want to get into a stupid discussion in here. Just wanted to express my opinion.

What scares me the most about the guy is that he doesn't seem like a lunatic at all. We all have limited knowledge about him, but judging from his Facebook page, he actually seemed fairly intelligent (why else would he read all these books that require some kind of intelligence)?
Anyways, he is a coward. Have fun in prison.

He was a Freemason and legally owned a Glock as well as an automatic weapon (most likely some form of rifle).
84 dead. Horrible. That is unheard of in a nordic country.

What does this sound like?

"Police forces in many western European countries worry about rising far-right sentiment, fueled by a toxic mix of anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant bigotry and increasing economic hardship"

It sounds like the kind of talk we hear here every day from the far right wingers.

Get this: he faces 21 years in prison. He'll be free in his early 50s
