Default Norway Tragedy

Mike -- I'm actually interested in your take on this. One of the most shocking aspects of the tragedy to me is that the murderer had so much time to hunt his victims on the island. It took the cops over 40 minutes to get to the island after they were called. Why did nobody take the murderer out earlier? Was there no security on the island with the Prime Minister scheduled to speak that very day? Nobody with a gun to take out the monster? And why so long to get to the island? was there really no helicopter available to fly there in minutes and blow away the bastard?
