Unbelievable

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the slain 85 children in Norway.

Yesterday's news of an attack on that peaceful country was a shocker, and I can only imagine the jaw-dropping incredulity that enveloped those poor people as their day unfolded.

First, a bomb exploding in their downtown district, killing and maiming and wreaking havoc. Then, a very short time later, an open, vicious attack from a countryman dressed as a police officer.

He called the young campers on an island retreat over to him, and then opened fire. Those he shot in cold blood he then shot once again - in the head - at close range.

Eighty-four. 84!! Those were innocent children, aging in range from 12 years to 19 years old.

Here's an even more unbelievable piece of news. Norway has a twenty-one year maximum prison sentence and no death penalty. That's right. That son-of-a-bi*ch with a gun will be allowed to walk out of prison before he turns fifty-five! With good behavior, he could be out before he's fifty!

How about they charge him with more than 84 counts of murder? Back-to-back sentences still wouldn't be enough.

Unbelievable.
