Latest On Norway's Massacre

Today, the death toll ran went up to 98 and probably will go a little higher as they have some missing people from the island and I am willing to bet that they will find more in the bombed out building.
From VG.net, a Norwegian newspaper and the articles are translated into English. Please keep in mind that translations are not perfect and some words are inappropriate for the word they want to use. For instance, in some translations, the victims are called vermin through the translation. So take it for what it is worth. It is also difficult to copy and paste parts of the article.
From VG: Defender Geir Lippe City confirms that Anders Behring Breivik (32) has acknowledged that he is behind the attack on ministries and AUF-camp on Utøya.
According to defense attorney client has also explained what is the motive, but Lippe City says it's difficult to talk about this.

Other information, it took the cops over an hour to get to the Utoya Islander. And the terrorist is a right winger but didn't seem to be a fanatic about it. He was an anti-multiculturist, was against Muslims taking over Norway and had a problem with the national soccer coach who was from Somalia but he and his wife were considered a Norwegians.
He used to belong to the Free Masons but doesn't sound like be belonged to any other groups.
He lived with his mother in Western Oslo but ran a small farm in another town. That was probably where he got the materials for the bomb.
He wrote about a 1500 page manifesto and then e-mailed them to some Finnish politicians.

What made this mad man do what he did, who knows. The left can't blame talk radio, like they would have done here. It just blows my mind that a seemingly sane person would do this horrific crime in this supposed tranquil country. To kill innocent children because of political beliefs? Just beyond belief. But some people are so sick in the head, they think they can justify what they did.
But this is a young guy, and since Norway has no death penalty, we will be able hear his views for years to come because of his sick celebrity status that will sure to come.
