pecuniumI assume most of you have heard of the bombing and shooting in Norway, and that it's a case of domestic terrorism.
We shall see what effect that has on the responsive rhetoric. What I found really interesting, and which took me a couple of seconds to parse was this:
People are adviced NOT to call people they know on Utoya, due to the risk of it giving off the location of those who are hiding in the bushes and elsewhere on the island, to the shooter.
It took a moment, then it clicked... cell phones. Call me and my phone makes noise (not much, it's on vibrate, but that's me).
