      Tired soul as he told me he could hear the children wanting to pass
      Sounds of laughter in the air
      Still today we hear them
      Finally we are over it all
      Finally we are over, over it all
      Let them run from the violence
      The world is way too cold and bright for their eyes
      Little boy runs beside them
      As they take his hand and jump to the sky
      Still today you hear him

I'm sorry, I may think that Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Switzerland all have amazing rates for things that are out of control here and in other countries, but when it comes to mass crimes such as this one, there is no rehab that would guarantee he wouldn't reoffend and is his life worth risking another 100+ lives or more?
      I don't think normal circumstances apply to things like this. It's in the arena of a war crime or an act of terrorism (whether viewed as domestic or international) ... imho I would have considered the death penalty for such a crime and I won't apologize for thinking that the lives of 100+ children/adults are worth one who values so little the lives of others.
      Why should the citizens of Norway have to pay for his incarceration after what he did? That's why it is so absolutely hateful, not only does he live in comfort, but his victims families are part of the country he is incarcerated in so therefore their taxes contribute to his well being! It's downright insulting to the victims and their families that he is allowed so many luxuries and so little of what most normal people would want him to endure - less creature comfort, daily doses of hard work and some sort of non violence regime whether through religion or some other form. Not to mention mental health sessions ... not violent video games. That makes my stomach turn. Idc if he never gets out, he is reliving his greatest moments every time he plays those games, it's sick. It's like allowing a pedophile to watch children at their leisure. That's just my opinion but I've got a few years on me and I think I speak for a lot of folks just like me.

      I remember arguing with him on some online forum (nettby or something) and I still think about whether I could have changed his mind if I'd taken him more seriously.. He only talked about the problem of Islam though, never mentioned his thoughts on what it meant in his head. I remember the shock and eerie feeling I got when I saw his face on national TV.. (I've seen this guy, and then I remembered when they displayed one of his profile pictures) I still wonder whether I could have changed his mind if I had been better at debating..

The moment anyone suggested that, maybe most muslims aren’t jihadists he seemed to get angry, and thought people were naive.. Which might be the case, people are naive when it comes to Islam, but that doesn’t make him right.. According to his - for the most part nonsensical - manifest he seemed to think that the only way to deal with Islam was to do what jihadists are doing.. The truth is, it isn’t.. The only way is to educate them. The Quran is the most obviously fake religion there is.. Don’t be an Islamophobe, Islam is pathetic, it even disproves itself in its own scriptures.. Also, there’s been 30 000+ terrorist attacks by jihadists since he did one, did he really think that we should do the same? What but a horrible world to live in would that create? Very delusional..

    I'm surprised you didn't talk about the absolute fuckery that was the police rescue operation on the island. Allow me to explain it, as described by Wikipedia. Police were called within a few minutes of the shooting, and realized they didn't have a proper helicopter to fly them out to the island. They had to take a vehicle instead. It took police 40 minutes just to get to the dock. When they arrived there, several civilians were already rescuing kids in the water by boat. Police told them to fuck off. Then the police realized that the ferry which was normally used to transport people from the dock to the island had been driven several minutes away after the shooting started. They had to sit around and wait for another official police boat to arrive to take them across the water. In the meantime, police were told to "observe and report" while they waited. They sat on their asses for about 20 minutes until the official boat finally arrived. They all hopped in, started going across the water, and the engine died. They fuckered around with the engine for a few minutes, then eventually they all just got into a civilian boat anyways, and finally arrived on the island, over an hour after the shooting started.
    As soon as they saw Breivik, he surrendered. No confrontation, no nothing. It was that easy. Also, the police arrested one of the survivors on the island because he had a suspicious haircut. They kept him in custody for 17 hours and interrogated him before finally realizing how stupid they were, and released him.

      They seem to be: white, male, lacking social intelligence (people find them unpleasant/eerie to be around), extremely low self esteem, passionate about guns, blaming all the problems of his life/country on a specific group, hold contempt towards women and feminism, need radical ideas to feel relevant , leading to perceive mass killing as a grandiose moment of male power. Almost as if they feel inadequate as a man according to their own ideal of what a man should be and to compensate the feeling of inferiority caused by it, they resort to guns and killing because they feel that is the epitome of masculinity. Like “I’m not a loser if people fear me”?
      Is there a psychological explanation for this pattern or is this pattern an incorrect perception on my part?

    Stephanie, you have an incredible skill at centering the experiences of the victims and giving us as viewers a much better understanding of what these poor souls actually went through. I remember hearing about the Utoya massacre on the news when it happened and being absolutely horrified (as was the whole world) but hearing the harrowing stories of what they actually experienced brought me to tears at multiple points through your video. They suffered so much because of this one man's twisted, hateful, vile ideology.

    I knew somone who worked in the building that was bombed. Apart from some bruises, he was fine.
    I had some american relatives visiting us the day before, and they were valking through the area where the bomb went off just 30 minutes prior.
    I myself was on a cabin in Oslo. Not far from centrum of Oslo. We heard the soundwave from the bomb crashing into our cabin wall. We thought lighning struck.

    2) Due to all emergency vehicles and police in the area being in Oslo, they did not have the staff to go to the island.

    Okay, I have a few comments:
    1- It’s weird how most of us never heard of this tragedy. If his name was Hassan or Mohammed instead of Anders, he would’ve been called a terr*rist and the media would talk about it forever.
    Just to confirm that, I searched for July 22 2011. Literally *all news channels called him a killer, a murderer, and the only one that called him a terror1st was ABC NEWS* . It was barely covered. This video is about to have more views than the most viewed video about this tragedy. Nobody called him horrific, barbaric, or anything.
    To compare: Around 11 people were killed during the attacks that happened at Ariana Grande’s concert Manchester , it was called a terror attack by the BBC and The Telegraph, but they didn’t call this one a terror attack.
    2-The man literally bombed a government building and killed over 100, most of them are children. He is obviously proud of himself. He is worse than a terror ist. He keeps on doing the Nazi salute each time he enters the court. It is crazy how he only gets 21 years. Releasing him in 2032 would be insane. He literally said in court that he regrets not killing more people.
    3-He doesn’t want Muslims because he believes they will bomb the country, so he goes to bomb it himself. Crazy.
    4-This is exactly why i boycotted Activision even though i was obsessed with call of duty and used to play it everyday. After MWII, I noticed that the Muslims and Russians are always the bad guys. So, they’re making games about killing Muslims for fun. Disgusting company. Their new game has a map named "Afghan" which is beyond racist.

      She was more than negligent. She was mentally ill. And obviously, it's something that could be passed down. Original comment said the son was evil from the get go. That's false. Plenty of individuals born with clinical psychopathy are rehabilitated and integrate into society with the right support. It was the combination that sealed his fate, and things might have turned out differently if he'd gotten the help he needed when the child protective services visited his home. Not saying his mom wasn't right about something not being right with him, I'm saying he's not evil from the get go and the mom certainly didn't know that, even if she knew something was off with him. Stephanie even said that the mom would take out her frustrations with men out on him, using her experiences to judge him when he was just a young boy still. That's not a mentally sound person.

Those are the individuals who deserve this kind of norwegian prison treatment. Someone like Anders should not receive such treatment. He don't deserve it.

Money over justice really. But even then, sure for low crime people that’s fine, but murder or violent assaults etc. shouldn’t have anywhere near nice conditions as prison is supposed to be a punishment, how else is it supposed to not incentivize people to commit crimes. Heck, even many foreigners are realizing that there are so many loopholes in north European systems that were held by a thin veil culturally homogenous population. Not to mention, many criminals not even getting prison time and just allowed to get out, to remake statistics look better.

    As a Norwegian, I remember this day so well, horrible. Three of my classmates were there when it happened. Luckily all of them survived, but not unscarred. One of them left the world years later because of the trauma.. And seeing how few we are in this country, everyone either knew someone directly impacted, or just one link away from someone who did.

It’s hard to implement right away in the United States, with the political polarization and history, but our nation (or if you don’t live here, the country with the most prison issues) would be far better off by transitioning to Norway’s prison system.

    The 22nd of July for Norwegians, hold the same level of collective trauma, as 9/11 does for Americans. If you ask anyone what they did on the 22nd of July, when they heard about the bomb and the shooting, they will know.
    I was in the barn preparing dinner for my horses when I heard the first messages of the shooting on the radio.
    That day changed a lot for us. We learned that our police was seriously unprepared for terror attacks. But rather than reacting with anger, people flooded the streets with roses, and sang. A song that the terrorist hated, because it's about having equal value despite color or background.

Norway/Scandinavia in general has very low crime rate, and there is a high level of trust in society. That doesn't mean things never happens, this clearly shows it can, but people live more freely here and not in fear.

    The unbelievable thing is, that civilians at the coast where the island was, decided to take their boats to the island and rescue children. It's because of them a lot of children were saved. I won't go too much into this as I don't find myself qualified to talk about this, but there was a lot of debate afterwards on how the police responded to the attack on the island. They were wayyyyyy too late to respond when arriving at the coast that looked directly at the island. And even when they got there, it took them a while to get to the island because they were scared of what would happen. Like I understand since there was another attack in Oslo, but here there were soldiers were risking their lives taking their boats to the island to save children while police used their time.

Authorities were hesitant to go in due to the danger, but simple fishermen and hobby divers risked their lives to pull the students out of the water. While it is disgusting that civilians had to intervene because of the lack of care from the police, it is at the same time really wholesome to know that in both these incidents all the locals united to save as many children as they could. In this case the civilians must have been terrified, they had no weapons to defend themselves, chances were high that the monster was gonna shoot people on the boat to prevent the kids from being saved.

    I waited so long for you to cover this case, I'm so glad you did it. I remember my class in high school watched the movie "Utøya 22. juli" in the cinema for a school trip, it's a norwegian made movie made to look like it's all in one take, no music, no theatrics, just following this girl trying to escape the attack, coping, trying to help others, and watching everyone die around her. In the end she gets on a boat and is shot too. I remember when the movie ended, it was so silent. No one in the cinema said a word, you could hear a pin drop from 100 meters away. It was an extremely eery atmosphere because we all felt the same thing. I've never felt silence like that. When we got out, a girl in my class had a panic attack and she was comforted and assisted by her friends. The thing about Norway is that we are so few people here, our country is very close knit. Everyone knew someone or knows someone who knew a victim. Every year on the 22. july the town clock strikes 77 times, which is the number of the total lives lost that day. The government building is closed to traffic and is still not rebuilt, it just has this huge cloth over it displaying how it used to look. In front of it is a memorial slate which displays all the victims' names and ages. It's so heartbreaking. Norwegian singers and rappers made so many works about it, also criticizing how many people though it was a muslim terrorist attack inititally when it's in fact extremist people like him we should worry about. This event changed us as a society forever. It's a tragedy we all carry with us to this day.

One in oslo and one in utøya, both of which left my family in a state of grief. The first attack happened in oslo, a van full of fertilizee and other chemicals (made into a made shift bomb) blew up and killed 8 people, while injuring over 200 others. Me, my mother, sister and uncle were witness to what had happened, but thankfully we made it out safely withouth sustaining any injuries. The second attack however, ended up killing 1 of my aunts children. I was too young to understand what had unfolded, but i knew something wasnt right when my whole family gathered in the living room looking deeply upset. Every year on this day, i still feel an intense disbelief that this happened in a country we thought was safe, loving, and a place to call home.

    I was living in Sweden at that time, but was visiting family and friends in China, so I didn't really understood much about it when some friend told me there had been a crazy person shooting kids in Norway. It wasn't until I came back to Sweden I understood what had actually happened. It was shocking, it's like, I had this one thought that "These kinds of things don't happen in Scandinavia" ... and still it happened. I was still young, and I guess naïve, but that was the moment I realized anything can happen anywhere...
    It took me 9 days to prepare myself to watch this, I knew I would cry, it's just heartbreaking.

      I’m Finnish and American and it really annoys me how people think that US is used to mass shootings. USA is much larger than Europe, so comparing just Norway to USA would be insanity. Also, American and European news like to sensationalize in their news statistics that they have no idea about. Mass shootings definitions differ in USA and in many countries in Europe, which can make one country seem to have more shootings than others, it’s very difficult to accurately compare the shootings of other countries to USA. Europeans just tend to have this we’re better than thou mentality often, so they believe whatever their news tells them, tho many Americans do too. Americans aren’t used to mass shootings, they’re not common, news just talk about it, and copy cats love it. China uses opposite method of media blackout when they have similar attacks, to stop copycats. New Zealand shooter chose guns over bombs or a truck, because he knew it would get more media attention than bombs or a car would, in fact he had the plan the entire time for New Zealand to ban guns because of him, and they did exactly what he wanted.

      They should put him in a USA prison

    As an American, I know our prison system is actually inhumane, but this? This boils my blood. Not only is he living better than I, he is living better than MOST. I am disgusted that he is allowed to have video games, books are more than sufficient for mental stimulation. He should not have a space that wide all to himself and should be moved to a facility more adapted to one person. I can't believe he lives in what most would consider luxury after the amount of brutality he committed.

      Prisons ethics are based on the resources of a country, if you have people poor enough in a country to live in worst conditions than someone in a jail, the issue isnt with the jail but with the money politicians are stealing from poor people, while helping millionaires with their taxes.
      If everyone in US was rich, what would be the issue with better conditions at prisons? Im not saying they should be free, Im not saying they deserve luxuries. Hell no, they should be treated like slaves, and they should put to work for the country they are on.

    It’s good to have you guys back, miss your stories and the beautiful interactions you and your husband have while sharing your stories 😅. You guys make a very good team. Very entertaining. Do you have any update on the lady that went to the yoga retreat? Also can you give any information on the Chinese movies they show on Utube and who and how they are made. Some of them are really out there and I just wondered about them. Keep healthy.

    The vibrator part of the story was probably one my biggest “WTAF” moment in this entire video. And the part where he kept asking if she used it yet is soooooo unsettling and nasty.
