Attack....

[sayh]

7 confirmed dead in Oslo, 10 at the labour party youth summer camp in Utøya isle. Attack seems to target labour party, not norway. Shooter appears to be norwegian, so it may not be an islamic attack, but it is too soon to tell. This can be the work of just one insane person :(

I hope it's just one insane person, not the Islamic group that initially claimed responsibility ... and I'm praying for the good people of Norway.

*sigh* CNN.com is reporting the camp attack as related, probably the same attacker :-(

I was too young to understand JFK's assasination but was 9 when Kent State happened: a touchstone to campus protests all during my youth:

A friend's mom works at Virginia Tech and has a poster of what they call "the tragedy": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia_Tech_massacre

I was hoping such insanity was limited to "the Twilight Zone" :-(
