>>>>>>>>Today I left my local grocery shop at 12:00 sharp. I put down my bags and stood still for one minute, thinking what a tragedy happened last Friday. I was not alone, it is assumed that almost every Norwegian did the same. All traffic stopped for one minute, including the trains. This one minute of silence was very special, it really felt good.

>>>>>>>>Right now they planned a big parade in Oslo, but it was canceled because too many people wanted to participate. It's strange how a tragedy can unite people. We will never let the dark forces of crazy minded people win.

>>>>>>I feel that this tragedy shows how different people from different parts of the world and with different culture reacts. Nobody has shown any desire to have this guy lynched, but we don't want to ever see him set free either. We want to show this person how wrong he is, and that he has almost no support. We fight hatred and evil with love, peace and roses.

Golly Gee,! An eye for an eye, just like the muslims in the middle east. Far better to send them to a far northern (arctic area of Alaska) prison where the weather is and and they have to work very hard to grow their own food to survive.
