Our hearts go out to the friends and families of those who were killed in Norway on Friday

Part of me wanted to stay in my bubble and not write about the terrible killings in Norway but to not acknowledge the events of Friday would be to do the victims a great disservice.

No one could have predicted that Anders Behring Breivik would go on a killing rampage on Utoya island on that day killing so many. The death of a young person is always hard to comprehend, their futures cut short in a tragic waste of human life so why did this man feel the need to kill so many? How can he justify this kind of loss? He holds extreme right views and maybe this was a protest against his government of some sort but these young people were innocent people that he shot at indiscriminately.

As a parent I can only imagine what the families are going through as there worst nightmare has become a reality. The survivors of these ordeal will be haunted by this forever.
