Holy shit bombing in the centre of Oslo and maybe even worse; shooting on a political youth camp on an island about an hour outside Oslo. So far 17 confirmed dead all together, but they're expecting the numbers to rise. I am OK and so is everyone I know, thankfully. This is so surreal, nothing even remotely close to this has ever happened in Norway before. And two unbelievable incidents within two hours? It's hard to grasp. What I'm glad about though, if it's possible to say something like that in all this, is that the man they caught, the man that shot the kids at the camp on Utøya Island and that also had been observed outside the government buildings in Oslo before they blew up, he was white. Tall, blond and ethnically Norwegian. Because if there's one thing we certainly don't need here, it's more racism and islamophobia.
We're all gonna remember this day as long as we live. It's just so difficult to understand.
