oh honey. i am so sorry.

i don't even know what to say. it's a youth camp. for young people interested in politics. 700 were there, 84 of them are dead and more are injured. it's too horrible.

:( It's so awful. I'm reading the news but I don't think I'm really comprehending the numbers.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

it's not something that is comprehensible, i think. i know what you mean. i went to bed with "nine" being the number from the island which is horrible enough--nine young people who committed the crime of being interested in politics--but 84? it defies what we can understand.

i just can't comprehend how catastrophic this is for such a focused community. a lot of the families must know each other.

:(

not necessarily--it's a youth camp for the Norwegian Social Democratic party, whose youth group has 9500 members. And for this camp people come from all over Scandinavia (and the world). But the kids, yeah. They know each other.

aah i see. i misunderstood one of the reports. that makes more sense.

the situation is no less tragic. :(

♥ It's easy to misunderstand some of the English-language reports. I'm posting a new entry just to explain.

No, nothing could make it less tragic, I don't think. *hugs*

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

kids. they were kids. i can't. fuck. 84 is a horrific number of people, and most of them were children.

[takkatakkatakka.livejournal.com]

good goddamn.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

it's--i can't. i don't know.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

there are none. ♥

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

yes, i went to bed with it being 9 dead at the island and woke up to 84 confirmed and many still missing. i can't. it's impossible to understand. and they are--so many died.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

That is so horrific.

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

85 children and young adults in their early twenties. How much hate and fear did he have to feel to do this?

[ciel-vert.livejournal.com]

I can't even comprehend that number. It's so tragic, I can't even. *huuuuugs*

[harborshore.livejournal.com]

85 now. 5 more are still missing. Just. God.

[crowgirl13.livejournal.com]

Oh god. I'd heard that there had been a shooting, but I had no idea...

That's terrible. I'm so sorry.

85 children and young adults in their early twenties. There are no words.

I am so, so sorry, sweets. It's - it's hard enough to comprehend from where I'm sitting, here, because as you said, they were kids, and either way it's a horrific number - any number is horrific under these circumstances. But for you, I just. I can't even imagine the scale of what you and everyone else there must be feeling, and I am so sorry. I wish there was something I could do, I really, really do. ♥
