If you're into true crime and horror content, a ton of great new content from leading Korean entertainment producers CJ ENM, just launched on Samsung TV+. And you can watch it for free. Even better, I have two hit show recommendations for you. Voice 4 is a series centered around an emergency call center, manned by Kang Guanju, who has this incredible hearing ability, the ability to pinpoint exact voices and sounds that are missed by all those around her.
And Detective Derek Cho is a serial killer expert called in when a new killer appears with Kang's exact same ability. The show keeps you on the edge of your seat as the killer toys with both of them while committing more murders. My second recommendation is Dark Hole. It's skews a bit more horror. The series begins when a single opens up at the edge of a small city.
And something evil crawls out. With humans mutating into monsters, the series follows the survivors as they try to continue surviving. Voice 4, Dark Hole and more are available now for free on Samsung TV+. In the US, meaning anyone with a Samsung Smart TV or a Samsung Galaxy phone with a Samsung TV+. app can simply search their titles and start watching. Happy watching. My dog Mango has been with me through some really crazy times in life. I mean, she's been with us for the past 10 years.
If you guys don't know, Mango is my little French bulldog with half hair. She's fuzzy only half the time. And she is literally the glue of my family. I have quite literally named an entire podcast and a YouTube channel from my dog Mango. She is the reason that these channels exist. But three years ago, Mango was diagnosed with this autoimmune disease. And she was always at risk of excessive bleeding. Her fur was falling out in clumps. It was a pretty stressful time in my life.
I was constantly emotional about mango being in pain. And then I would get so stressed out every time I started going over the vet bills. Every time we took her to the vet, it was like thousands of dollars because her condition was so difficult to treat. And I am just so thankful that we had savings to cover it.
I wish I had been able to spot a few years back. It would have just eased so much of that stress.

By the being better boo. The summer sleep away camp for youths is held on the island of utoa every single year for the past 61 years without fail. Kids typically around the ages of 14 and 20 years old, they're going to gather for this multiple nights day on this heart shaped island.
And I say island, but don't picture like a tropical getaway destination. It feels more like camping. It's got that stereotypical summer camp setting in the middle of the woods, tall green pine trees, bonfires, the dirt pathways that connect the campgrounds to the very few buildings that are on this island.
You don't really even have many bathrooms. You just have what they call the sanitation building, which is like this giant communal bathroom where every single morning you see all these little teenagers come out of their campgrounds. So whether it's a little camping house or a little tent, they have their toothbrush and hand ready to go to the bathrooms and brush their teeth.
During the summers, it's always raining or it's like drizzling. So you hear that on the tents and you likely need three bottles of mosquito spray on you at all times. It's not bright and sunny all the time. Now the island itself is relatively small. It's about 26 acres, which to give you a comparison, a visual comparison, that's about two massive stadiums combined. The Yankee Stadium for example is a good comparison to those combined or 15 football.
Or 15 football fields connected to each other. I mean, okay, it's not small, but it's not large, especially during the camp session when almost 600 teenagers are on the island. The teenagers are there, the adults organizing the whole camp, the camp counselors, guest speakers that come and talk to the teenagers are there. And there's a lot of action going on with these teenagers. They've got energy. Even after a full day jam packed, I tend to write that like we got to play some games at night.
They would have these little dance parties. This is a time where Justin Bieber's baby was the hit song. You could walk by a row of tents and more often than not, that song is playing on repeat in like at least half of the tents. Or if you sneak out of your tent after a lights out time, you might stumble upon two teenagers just.
Just. Groping each other on what they call the lovers path. That's what they call it. It's literally this grassy path where at some parts the grass is really tall. So if you were to lay down on the grass, it would cover your body. I mean, I guess for that reason, teenagers are like, this is a great idea to just make out in the grass and not be seen. But like not really because it's called the lovers path.
So the odds of running into another couple that has the same exact idea as you is probably high. But when they're not trying to make out, the camp goers would come up with very unique ways to stay excited. They made Wednesday a speed dating night. Thursday's refer karaoke and they would constantly play games with just a big group of students.
The raids tag hide and seek just with each other up and down this hill, Island will be careful that leads to the edge of the island, so most of the island would have cliff-like drops into the water. So like I said, it's not really a beach where you have all that sand that gently goes into the water. It's like a drop and there's jagged rocks. Kathryn legs의 한번만 생각하는 곳에서 뭐야? 이럴�哪가? 보통аче가 우리 또 빨라 trek인ode에 나는 방 serves 고마워 당신의 생절의 안� stain 왕향 anti I mean I guess when the whole thing is over right?
But when is that? They're starting to get angst-ish. They hear footsteps. The footsteps are heavy, but not fast. It's almost like a marching noise. Heavy boots on the ground. One step at a time, not rushing. Whoever this is, it's interesting. They're not hiding and they're not playing dead. The group of 11, they're holding their breaths while they hear the footsteps snapping the branches and twigs on the moist mud ground. And it sounds like it's getting closer.
I mean they could have sworn that that snap sounded like it was right next to them. One of the 11 lifts their head and looks up. They see a guy, maybe early 30s, blonde hair, blue eyes, staring straight at them. His face is empty. He doesn't even look confused. Like why are there 11 teenagers just laying in the grass like that? He just looks like he's analyzing the situation. He slowly raises his hand. And in his hand, there is a gun. And he shoots.
He fires over and over into the human pile on the grass. If one wasn't shot yet, they were underneath friends who had been shot and their blood was soaking into them now. One boy kept begging the rest of the group, I'm dying. Please help me. I think I'm dying. Nobody could help him. They're all dying too. Out of the 11, only one would survive. 10 from that group would die. But another 59 from the island, mainly teenagers will also be killed in the next hour.

Now, as always, full show notes are available by RottenMangoPodcast.com. There is a documentary out on this case that was quite insightful. There is a ton of articles and written deep drives but probably the most invaluable source for today's episode is a book on this case titled One of Us, The Story of Anders Breivik, written by Asni Sairstad.
She is this incredibly talented investigative journalist that has won numerous awards for her focus on young woman stories typically and typically in war-torn countries. She poured through the court documents worked directly with the survivor's victims' families and she was dedicated to unpacking every single layer of this really twisted, really sick story.
The book is incredibly well written and by well written, I mean, just like got wrenchingly painful to get through because of how emotional it gets and how raw it is. And additionally, we did most of our research with Norwegian or Swedish articles. So as always, with international cases, please let us know in the comments if there was anything lost in translation, miscommunicated, or any additional information that you might have. Now, one big disclaimer.
Today's case involves a lot of heavy subjects that I think can inevitably turn very political, very quickly. There are references to domestic terrorism, racism, Islamophobia, political opinions between who the perpetrator views as a conservative or a liberal. I know, it's a lot. Please view this at your own discretion and prioritize your health and your peace. So with that being said, let's get into it. Have you ever heard of the eye of providence?
I mean, maybe you haven't heard of the term, but the minute that I describe it, you're going to be like, oh my god, why does that sound so familiar? Where have I seen that? I feel like I see that all the time. It is a very realistic eye inside of a triangle and usually it has rays of light just beaming out of this triangle. It looks like this eye inside the triangle is glowing. Like illuminati? Yes, I mean illuminati, right? But where do you see it all the time?
Like you don't go to hang out with illuminati people or illuminati clubs. So where would you see this? Because you see it all the time. I don't think I see it all the time, do I? It's on the back of a $1 bill. Oh, that's right. Okay. USD, of course. No. Technically, to a lot of people, the eye is supposed to represent the all-seeing eye of God. It's a symbol of divine providence, meaning the creator is watching over man and all of man's deeds.
A reminder for a man to be humble and that there is a higher being. Like it's a reminder. But others say, no, it's just creepy. It's a conspiracy. It's big brother. They're watching us. That's what that means. Look, I don't know how deep you look into it. But it could be the illuminati. It could be a design choice for the banknote or it could also represent one of the oldest secret societies. The Freemasons. They are one of the most mysterious secret societies out there.
They've been around for hundreds of years. Some people argue since early 18th century. I mean, technically it's a fraternity but for like non-college students. It's a male fraternity where men from qualifying industries with qualifying levels of skill-income pedigree background. They are interviewed because you can't just join. And they network and focus on charity. But because not everyone can join, typically they run on a to be one-ask-one system. Meaning to be a Freemason.
You have to know a Freemason and ask them to sponsor you. Ask them to put your name in to be casted to even be considered to join the Freemasons. Are they still around? Oh yeah. Now if you pass that stage, the Freemasons will investigate you. They will look into your background, interview you, make sure that you're a good fit. And most of the time, you do have to be voted in. And just because you get in, doesn't mean you've got the status and the power all of a sudden.
Even in the Freemasons, there's a seemingly endless degree system. Because Freemasons are all about growth and journeying to become a better man. Allegedly, when a man joins the Freemasons, they have a series of oaths that they need to take. And one of them is protecting the secrets of the order. Breaking the secret, breaking the trust of the Freemasons is seen as a grave offense.
There's rituals, ceremonies, allegedly, symbols with meanings all of which, allegedly, according to slightly conspiratorial online redditors, are all kept a secret for a reason. I mean, why? Like if there's nothing to hide, why would you have all these secrets? So naturally, there's a lot of conspiracy theories that come out of Freemasonry. Some believe the connection between the symbols like the eye of providence and the secrecy of the Freemasons that they're performing rituals. Bloody rituals.
They're sacrificing animals. They're sacrificing humans. What else would they be doing? Because there's this running theory since the beginning of, I don't even know how long, probably since the beginning of the Freemasons. The Freemasons are a network of the most influential, powerful people that are pulling all the strings on a global scale. They're the people running this world. You think it's the president's? No, it's not. Well, maybe it is.
Because there were 15 US presidents who were Freemasons. 15. Yeah. So people are saying, think about it. The eye of providence is their symbol, or at least it's one of their symbols. And it's on the $1 bill. What did they got it on the bill to show everyone just how powerful they are? That's the real influence and just all the decisions are in their hands. All Anders wanted was to get into the Freemasons. And once he got in, he could carry out the rest of his plan.
Kill as many kids at the summer camp as possible. That was his plan. It was kind of a weird gift to get someone, you know, a vibrator. Yeah. Okay. So there's a woman who gets a vibrator as a gift. Now conveniently, this is after she mentions to this guy in passing that she and her boyfriend broke up. I mean, what kind of message is he trying to send her by getting her a vibrator? How is she even supposed to react to that?
And then to make matters worse, every time he saw her after he gifted her that, he kept asking, did you use it yet? It was just a lot. I mean, what is she going to say? She's starting to feel alarmed about the whole thing. He'd always kind of been like that. She had known him for a while. Sometimes they would sleep in the same bed and he would just press his body up against her, clinging onto her so tight that she felt like she couldn't breathe. Like she was going to go claustrophobic.
Even if she tried to inch away from him, he would just inch closer and closer and closer to her. And it always felt like any minute now, he's going to force himself on her. Like he was trying to, you know, this is a very uncomfortable situation because a son shouldn't do that to his mother, right? What kind of son gives his mom a vibrator? Like how old is this? 20s. And they still sleep together? Sometimes he would crawl in her bed.
Now, if you want to people watch, the best place is at a red light. I'm serious. Okay, I think humans have yet to evolve to realize that sitting in your car does not make you invisible. Even if your windows are tinted, chances are that people can peer directly into your car and see you knuckle deep into your nostril, picking your nose. Even just people watching and looking at the car next to you at a red light, you can usually tell if that person is in a rush or not.
Are they tapping on the steering wheel, put it in this erratic way that you just know that they're not tapping along to the beat of the music, but they're late for work so they're anxious. But also, if you're in Oslo, Norway, July 22nd, 2011, there would be a lot of time for you to people watch because traffic is jam-packed. The only thing you can do is listen to music or just glance around and see if you can write everybody's backstory because the traffic is bad. You're not going anywhere.
And that one was weird. There was a fiat on the road, a small little fiat and inside of it is a police officer who looks incredibly tense. He's wearing a full-body armor, black armor, one of those police outfits. He's wearing an all-black riot helmet and he's carrying a pistol in plain sight that's just laying on his passenger seat. I mean, normally that's not how he or any police officer would dress or handle themselves, but July 22nd, 2011, was a very different kind of day.
Nothing was going according to plan. Nothing was normal that day. That morning in Oslo, Norway, a white windowless van had parked right in front of a government building in the center of the capital city. And that white car would explode. There was a bomb inside. The building, the government building, it looks like a pressure cooker that exploded. There's footage from an angle of the bomb going off and the building is still standing afterwards.
It does not collapse, but it's kind of like when you play Jenga. You take out a full layer and the whole building goes up and then falls down. It's still standing, but I highly doubt it's structurally sound. The inside has been torpedoed. Some floors have fallen into each other. The glass on the windows have blown outward, completely shattered. Even the metal, steel, and wood window frames, they've snapped. They snap like when you snap wooden chopsticks.
There's jagged end pieces and they just go flying across the street. They slam into the building across onto the cars, onto pedestrians. The AC unit on this government roof is blown off and it just goes flying in the air. There's debris and roof parts and construction parts everywhere. There's smoke coming out from that government building and it looks like all the civilians had woken up in the middle of the night, came out and looted the entire city. That's what it looks like.
There's just dust. There's chaos all over the streets. When you look into that government building, the insides look completely charred. And you could have heard that explosion from 50 miles away from the center. But soon everyone in Norway and honestly globally would know about this bomb. It was, first of all, a massive bomb. The bomb itself weighed more than a ton. That's about the weight of a small elephant or a hippopotamus. And it was homemade. What?
To give you a better visual context, maybe you see this more often. You know those bulldozers that you have a singular person on construction sites working? Yeah. That's about that size. But a bomb. Well, and weight at least. Now, the fuse had a burn time of slightly over seven minutes, which means one, whoever did this, they put a lot of thought into their plan to escape. And two, they could be anywhere at this point. The entire street is just littered with shrapnel.
Every construction piece of a building is on the ground. They were going flying like bullets. There was a woman found with a foot-long wooden stake impaling her skull. Part of a window frame from the 10th floor office building had broken off, flew high speed at her head. She survived. The first people at the scene, police officers, even journalists, they all said, they kept waiting for someone to scream and cut. They said it looked like a movie scene.
They thought a director would come out and say, just kidding, guys, I'm sorry I didn't let the city know. This is all fake. Because it looked like an apocalyptic scene. But that call never came. Later, investigators would go up to the rooftops of the buildings and these are not short buildings either. These are like 10 stories, multiple dozens of stories, if not taller. And they would find human remains up on the roof.
The blast had been so strong, some of the victims were blown to pieces and their body parts went flying. Wow. One victim who was walking into the government building, the only thing left of his body was his hand that had landed on the ground and on his ring finger was his wedding ring. The bomb killed eight people. But by the end of the day, 69 people would be dead, most of them teenagers. Officer Martin is now sitting in traffic in his full police uniform, his riot helmet on his passenger seat.
And he's got a hurry. Before all hell breaks loose, once news of this explosion gets out, everyone's going to get in their cars and start driving. They're going to drive out the family members that live on the countryside just to feel safe. And they're going to drive to the airport, which they just don't want to feel like a target. They don't know what's going on. Norway feels like it's under attack right now. Is this a terrorist attack? Who is attacking them? There's rumors that it's Al-Qaeda.
It's a terrorist organization. They're rushing to go pick up their loved ones and make sure they're not out and about. It's about to be even crazier. It's already stand still traffic. I mean, the drive was supposed to be very quick, much quicker, but it would take him a full hour to get to the island. Officer Martin is doing his best to weave through traffic to move faster and quicker, but time is of the essence. And it's interesting that none of the other officers have set up those roadblocks.
Why not? What is everybody doing? At this rate, whoever set off the bomb is probably on their way out of Oslo and headed to their next destination. And who knows what their capable love when they get there? Once the police officer gets to the docks, he demands that a ferry come get him and take him to the island right now. It was the police department hire ops orders. They're going to station police officers everywhere around the city and the island needs to be contained.
They're going to go into full lockdown mode. There's going to be two other officers that are going to be assisting. They're going to need to be picked up by the ferry. We got to go. Stat. The ferry comes to pick up the officer, but the captain is a little agitated. How come I wasn't made aware of this? I mean, man, it's complete chaos in Oslo right now. What do you mean? The police man gets on the ferry with a briefcase and a rifle. The captain of the ferry is stressed.
I mean, there are children on the island. They're going to be very stressed out. They're going to be panicking if they see a rifle. I don't think any of them have even seen a weapon in real life. It was agreed that he would keep it hidden. But also, why are the police so adamant on securing the island? I mean, it seems like the least likely place to be attacked next.
Because if you're thinking about a terrorist organization, wouldn't they go for metropolitan areas, massive buildings with lots of people housed inside? Would the building attacked by the bomb with the labor party building? OK, it's a government building. So think of it as, I guess, like the White House, right? The prime minister, his office is in there. The people in power right now in Norway is the labor party. They're like the Democrats, if you will.
And right now, on the island is a labor party youth gathering summer camp. The island is owned by the labor party and every single summer, the labor party youth league has a massive summer seminar. The former prime minister had just been on that island like a few hours ago to speak with the youth, the future labor party members. And they were all almost 600 of them were trapped on an inescapable cliff like island. So yeah, police are going to have people station there.
When he gets on the ferry, the captain asks him for his name. Officer Martin Nilsson, maybe the captain of the ferry felt safer, knowing that a police officer was going to be on the island. That way, they would know that the kids are actually going to be safe. Maybe in the hectic chaos of things, there was almost a moment of relief, maybe. But there shouldn't have been. Because if they had all just looked a little bit closer, they might have realized this man's police uniform was fake.
This was a fake police officer with a rifle and a briefcase filled with bullets. He had set off the bomb in Oslo. And he was now making his way to an island full of teenagers, which just leaves one question. What was this fake cops plan for the island? Recently, a few weeks back, a couple of family friends, my husband and I, had the most memorable game night ever. Everyone was getting so into the game. And it's all thanks to Hunter Killer.
Hunter Killer is an immersive murder mystery game that turns your dining table into your very own detective story.

I literally started method acting as a detective, which got everybody else into it. And suddenly, it was like we were on the set of law in order. Everything included in a Hunter Killer case set just looks and feels so real that you literally get drawn in. There were parts throughout the night where we were excitedly shouting over each other where we all groaned in frustration, other parts where everybody was silent because we were just holding our breath.

Over the years, I have developed a few food sensitivities, pork oil, but the worst one that has recently been upsetting my stomach was my vitamins.
My daily pills and supplements to keep me from feeling sick sometimes would make me feel sick, especially on an empty stomach. I was fortunate enough to be able to try different forms of supplements and I'm excited to share that I actually did find ones that I enjoyed that don't upset my tummy in any way shape or form, even on an empty stomach. It's kind of like my pork sensitivity. I can't eat pork belly, but I can eat bacon and prosciutto. It's just weird for some reason.
But recently I found out that although I often get upset stomach and nausea from pill forms of certain vitamins, symbiotic as gels are so gentle on my stomach with no side effects. They're easy to take liposomal packets, make taking my supplements very quick, convenient, and enjoyable. They come in these little squeezes and go down so easy. There's no worries about post nausea and they actually taste very good. Symbiotica has changed the game when it comes to health for me.
Their gels are gentle but very, very efficient. And their advanced liposomal delivery ensures that your body can absorb the nutrients much faster and more effectively than other supplements. My favorite part is that symbiotica's products are made clean and with intention. They don't contain seed oils, preservatives, toxins, artificial additives, or quote natural flavors. And again, they still taste amazing. It's also a personal benefit for me due to my oil sensitivity.
So many supplements contain fillers or harmful additives nowadays. But symbiotica is reliable and transparent. I love their magnesium L3 and I it is my favorite symbiotica squeezey and also vitamin C. But it comes with this vanilla flavor and it's like a healthy dessert. It definitely hits the sweet tooth for me and it helps with my sleep regulation. So luckily for both me and you, symbiotica is having their biggest sale of the year.

The couple are staring at each other because the whole thing just feels illegal. I mean, there's no way this is real life is this some sort of test by the foster care system? The dad talks first, excuse me. Onders' mom is just staring at them.
Deadpan. Yes, like I was saying, could you please just let my son touch a private parts on the phone? I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. I'm not going to say that. The other son touch a private parts on the weekends. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Who? They're my son touch your private parts? Yeah, these are potential foster parents.
And the biological mom is saying, hey, can you take my son with you on the weekends? But also, please let him touch your wavy. What? I mean, this cannot be real right now. Onders is two years old when his mom applies for him to be assigned weekend parents. So in no way they do things a little bit differently But it's kind of like temporary foster care. Just foster care on the weekends.
Andres' mom could prove that she did not have the capabilities to care for her children on the weekends Without the help of the public schools. She doesn't have the resources nor the time. So she's paired with this nice newlywed couple That could take her son Andres on the weekends And just do normal childhood activities with him. Take him to the zoo. Go buy him some books, helping with this development. But first, they needed to have a few meetings with Andres and his mom.
대해서도 먼저 제일 그냥 당신은 Então relax connecting 돌리고 아주 ин플 Questu가 공연이 전했습니다 공연이 전Mania이 전olf답니다 공연이 전 전 전 전 cem чтоб 이 모든 걸 다가가고 있는 것 같다. 이제 더 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 이 맘은 getgo not a good plan this whole thing was just a giant red flag even onters' mom knows it's a red flag the dad he's not a loving dad
he already had three kids from a previous marriage and any time the three kids come to visit him he would just shut them out of his head he was an abusive but he was definitely neglectful at best in my personal opinion he is someone that does not seem to care for children at all onters' mom she went back and forth back and forth about whether or not she wanted to terminate the pregnancy do I terminate? do I not? do I do this?
I mean there were so many glaring red flags but at the end of the day like this is her baby right? by the time that she made up her mind she wanted to terminate termination was made illegal she could do nothing but have this child and she hated this child for that very reason she's like this child in my stomach is a parasite she felt like this baby was absorbing all the nutrients growing
kicking her stomach so hard to the point where it feels like it's on purpose where it feels like it's personal while every day she grows weaker more nauseous, less attractive she's aging every single day and the parasite just keeps getting stronger and stronger
she said it's almost as if he kicks me on purpose to torment me and you know how some people are just like no just wait the baby's gonna come out and you're gonna fall in love head over heels for your child just you wait maybe that's what Andres' mom was told by her friends
but the minute that Andres came out of her she felt like something was wrong with him she thought all those pain meds that I was given during birth because I was in so much it messed him up somehow I don't know how to point it but something's wrong with this boy regardless
when Andres was about six months old his parents get a divorce and he went with his mom I mean not that he had a choice and not that his dad fought for him and from then on it would just be his mom his older half sister Elizabeth from his mom's previous relationship and Andres
and whichever boyfriend Andres' mom had at the time now maybe Andres was too young to know how many boyfriend's mom had at the moment but the neighbors weren't I mean they probably had a blast keeping a tally of all the new ones that would show up at her door while her kids were home can you believe it?
you know she leaves her kids that night and then she goes out to do God knows what with God knows which man and then doesn't come back until the morning they're not even old enough to be left alone during the night and the saddest part is their mom is so focused on her sex life
that she doesn't even care that the children are starving I know most kids I talked to they said they went over to hang out with Elizabeth the half sister and they would come back home starving and they would report to their parents they don't eat dinner at Elizabeth's dinner's not a thing there
yeah but the sex life thing was very alarming I mean if you're the family's neighbor and you happen to be trying to get into your apartment at the exact same time that she the mom is trying to get into the apartment you'd probably be freaking out because she will keep you in that hallway for hours
trying to talk to you about anything that comes to her mind and apparently the only thing that comes to her mind is aggressive sex yeah it was described by many people as being incredibly aggressive conversations about sex that's all she could talk about in front of her own children
Elizabeth is maybe 10 at this point on her's is four Elizabeth was like the mom of the family she would find an excuse for the neighbor to take just so that they could run away from their mom she knew that her mom was a mess
she'd be like mom don't we have to go put these in the freezer before they defrost come on mom we got to go inside a lot of the neighbors the teachers they all reported something on was going on in that house social services and the Center for Child and Adolescent Psychiatry ends up
investigating multiple times and Anders' mom is just she's not doing really well I mean she clearly suffers from intense untreated mental illnesses but it's also just progressively getting worse child services noted on numerous different occasions mother seems severely depressed
she state she is thinking of just walking out on the children to go live her own life she describes herself as being quote a nervous wreck but at the same time she blames all of her problems on Anders she said that he was uncontrollable he would have these temper tantrums for the smallest thing
he would a small child according to his mom at least would push around his older house sister and even his mom she said that he was so angry his punches were painful and if they ever tried to shake some sense into him literally they would shake him like what are you doing stop it
his mom claims that he would just smile and then shout in her face it doesn't hurt it doesn't hurt just to taunt her just to drive her nuts she said clearly something is very wrong with this boy he doesn't like to play with the other kids he never doesn't he pretend to play
which is a big red flag in children's development you know kids pretend to be a princess a butterfly if you don't do that it is a little worrisome it's a huge part of how they develop their brains yeah now he never interacts with other kids he just likes to stand on the side
and observe even at playgrounds even if he hurt himself very badly physically if he tripped on cement and got a crazy road rash he wouldn't cry he would just stare at it and that is bizarre Anders' own mom described him as clean, difficult, demands a lot of attention oh and aggressive and nasty
Anders' mom would keep asking doctors if there was something anything at all that they could diagnose Anders with so that she could get him on meds to help you know with everything aka she wants to stomp out his personality with medication because she thinks that he's too much
so specialists decide that they're going to come in to observe and watch Anders to see if he's got any of these traits that his mom is talking about and they get the exact opposite I mean I think they even had to check their files to make sure that they're at the right place with the right kid
he's just seemed over life as a toddler he took no pleasure in choice he was not curious he does not care to do anything physical or uses imagination he just seemed emotionless, expressionless for the most part he also was incredibly clean and tidy he would actually have an outburst
when he can't control how clean and tidy his environment is but the good thing is the doctors observed that once they changed his environment and got him to adapt to a new setting that was a lot more kid-friendly he started slowly exhibiting more childish traits
which is like being curious wanting to play doing pretend play so they concluded that his psychological state and damage was done by the environment and probably his mom and as of right now it could be reversed it could be so if we can get him into foster care it's going to be a good time
they noted that the mom was very very abusive in a sense verbally abusive with her son one second she would be so pleasant in kind with him and then the next second she would scream at the top of her lungs I wish she were just dead they said that on one hand
the psychiatrist and the specialist believed that his mom had a very complicated view point of men and projected that onto her own son so it seems like even in her romantic relationships on one hand she absolutely needs a man in her life at all times she needs her son in her life
on the other hand she's incredibly skeptical and grossed out by a man's aggressive sexual tendencies and she seems to think that Anders does that at the right age of four I mean it was just escalating very quickly but when they suggested that he'd be placed into the foster care system
his mom disagreed and technically there was nothing that they could legally do about it but that was when he was a kid later as a teenager a few of the neighbors they could see the red flags and onders I mean they could practically smell the red flags
really and when the neighbors they stepped onto their front door mat to walk into their homes their shoe would sink into the door mat and make that disturbing squishing noise it's like if somebody soaked the door mat in a tub of water pulled it out and then you step on it it's like squish
they're like that smell I know that smell because there's no way it's water it's pee and there was only one resident who would pee on all the door mats and it wasn't a family pet it was Anders but it's best not to even say anything about it
because if you talk to Anders' mom she's not going to do anything about it and if you talk to Anders about it he might retaliate even harder one of the neighbors likely said something because her door mat was peed on then her weekly newspapers were soaked in pee
then her storage room in the basement also peed on there were rumors going around that he liked to play master of death and life with ants he would find an ant colony and he would see them all walking in the straight line all the working ants and he got off on the idea that he could any mini mini mo
and then just squash one to death it was all up to him it was his choice they didn't get a say in whose arrives and who dies he would catch bumblebees and put them in a cup of water to watch them drown and he thought it was hilarious he would even have these rats that he
shoved into a small cage and it seemed to like the sole purpose of having these pet rats was so that he could hurt him but eventually he would move on from rats to people now this is very interesting so in high school Anders was bullied but he was also bullying other kids
so the stronger kids would bully Anders and then he would turn around and pick a kid weaker than him and then bully them one time he picked a skinny boy from the school laid him in an old rug yet it's like a very complicated bullying plan
he laid him out in an old rug rolled him up like a sushi roll and just started jumping on the rug crushing him and he thought it was hilarious and boom there is a loud bang and an echo through the cafeteria of the main building on the island of utoa and it sounds like if someone threw a metal
tray onto the ground Anders walks in and he starts calmly going from room to room nobody's running away from him in fact the kids are gathering near him watching him waiting for him to give out orders he's a police officer after all he's here to save them from whatever is going on in this
island so far all they've heard were a few loud noises that sound like fireworks and some screaming he walks over at a regular pace to a group of students that are just kind of huddled in the corner and he opens fire all of them drop down and he kind of wants to laugh
he said in that moment come on at least half of them were fake in it so he calmly walks around the pile of students on the ground and starts aiming for each of their heads how many rounds of bullets did he pack he had a lot to spare he shot one boy eight times he knocked him to the ground
for good measure he shot another one five times and then he turns and shoots another five girls 18 times 18 bullets until all five are dead then he moves on to the next room of the main building he kills five more in there this to him this was easy this was what he practiced for months
for he was getting into a six sort of flow state it was actually the beginning when he first landed on the island that was tough all the nerves the anxiety he didn't know if he could go through with it when he first arrived on the island he was questioning is this really gonna like should I just act like I'm a police officer and then be like oh sorry I just wanted to protect the kids because he was that nervous the first people that he came face to face with
on the island were an off-duty cop that was volunteering to be a security guard for utoa and a woman named Monica she's the main coordinator of the program known as the mother of utoya and this is right when he lands on the island he's surveying the area he's jittery he feels the adrenaline I mean the island looks a little bit bigger than he imagined everything is feeling so surreal this is is this really happening right now that's this is crazy the off-duty cop starts questioning him
and where did you say that you were stationed oh um groundland station and they sent you alone to the island no no no two other cops are gonna be coming when later do you know join from groundland the real cop looks suspicious of all of his
answers so far and this this drawn question could be a trap either there is no drawn or there's a drawing that everybody who works at the station would know about either way this man is a massive threat to on this his plan he needs to get rid of him ASAP it's now or never
he doesn't answer he slowly reaches first pistol while the off-duty cop and monica are walking in front of him guiding him up the little trail he raises it and monica turns around in time and screams no don't he shoots the guard in the back then he turns points the gun at monica and
shoots her once in the back they're both down on the ground and he fires more shots into both of their faces right at that moment when he's done he looks up and the boat captain who happens to be monica's husband no way sees his life partner on the ground covered in blood and he screams
at the children on the island run for your lives and everybody starts running except onters he keeps his pace and he starts hunting them down one by one the students are turning to each other everyone report to the cafeteria please grab a buddy and let them know that we're all meeting in the cafeteria the air is humid it's been raining all day and the students are showing up clonking around in their rain boots wait what's going on it's not even mealtime why are we all assembling in the cafeteria
was there something on the schedule another guest speaker a few of the students had privileged information they would lean over no I think they want to talk to us about what's going on in Oslo apparently there was a bomb a bomb in Oslo a lot of the students had parents that worked
in the government building or at least on that street because remember this is the labor camp youth group considering that they're all part of this labor party kids are starting to get really panicked they're calling their mom and dad over and over until they finally get a response
is this how parents feel when they don't pick up the phone like that's what they're joking about the kids are on the verge of an anxiety attack mother utoa monica she's been managing this summer camp for the past 20 years and she's trying to calm the kids down she's bringing out her maternal side
and she's being very comforting the rest of today's events have been canceled the ferry will only run as needed instead of every hour back and forth off the island but I just want you guys to know that you are safe we are safe we are in the safest place to be right now thankfully almost all the parents working at the government buildings were fine uninsured and they all agreed you guys are in the best place right now because if there's gonna be another attack another bomb it's not going to be
on the island it just made more sense because metropolitan areas that would be the main focus this was the logical guess why would they have a bomb on the island in that case the parents were grateful that their kids were there
the kids were to sit tight talk to an adult or counselor if they needed to emotionally process this information a little bit better but other than that they should be good from there wait did you guys hear that hear what I don't know it sounded like like a hammer hitting a piece of
metal a construction type noise or something wait do you just heard that right did you hear that it sounds like a fireworks or something god maybe some kid that would be hilarious to light a firework right now after the news of the bombing that's so sick okay if that's the case is a very childish
that would not be the case at all other kids thought maybe the camp had it set up already so that the kids could learn what it's like to grow up in a war zone to have these unexpected attacks and air rates but if that's the case that would be incredibly insensitive considering what
happened earlier in Oslo with the bomb but there was no time to even contemplate because all hell will break loose on the island the kids just start running some of them have no idea why they're running where they're running to and some of them don't even know what they're running from they just see people screaming and running so they're running wait what are we running from right now it's like an obstacle course with all the tents the bonfires camping gear rain boots if you trip you might die
the confused kids keep running and running and asking questions what the hell is going on right now why are you running nobody would respond but eventually they would all run past a body bloodied dead on the ground and now they knew what they're running from hello this is the emergency operator how
can i help you please help us run utoya island there's a man walking around in a police uniform shooting at us the line goes dead the operator stares at his phone what is wrong with kids these days i mean the youth they really have no such thing as discipline
what a sick joke to make right after the Oslo bombing he's about to turn to his co-worker to rant about this kid doing a prank phone call when ring ring ring ring ring ring every single phone is lighting up and the calls are getting backed up every single phone call
from utoya island this was not a sick prank this was far from that back in the main building onters was methodically murdering the children he would walk up to a girl hiding her head near the piano keys thinking he couldn't see her he walks over shoots her blood starts pouring out and down
between the piano keys shot after shot he's just firing into everybody a lot of the kids would hide their faces with their hands the bullet would go through their hands and then into their heads onters walks up to behind the piano and sees another girl hiding
he smirks fires a shot it goes through her hands but it doesn't hit her skull then another shot this time it goes through the top of her arm and the whole time she thought this isn't so bad i think i can survive this i think so i mean her whole body just started to feel numb
she felt like this buzzing sensation her brain is not registering at all what's happening right now it felt like she'd been kicked with the soccer ball really really hard but she thinks she could survive and then the next bullet hit her jaw she's slumped to the ground holding her
jaw in place and she could hear the gunman just breathing heavy walking over her to the next student to kill is interesting the taste she said that she's never tasted that before in her life gunpowder it tasted like gunpowder this was gonna kill her for sure i mean she could
feel that she's never experienced this before but the movies the books this is it one shot in your dead this is her third and it's in her jaw she's starting to lose feelings in her arms and then she tasted it this time she knew that taste it was blood meanwhile 16-year-old Elizabeth
is on the phone with her dad she heard the news about the bomb in Oslo and her dad works as a truck driver in Oslo one day through Thursday she has no clue what route he takes for work and like what happened if you were to be in front of the van when it exploded what then thankfully he picks up to
let her know that he's at home still he didn't make it into work he's gonna be okay Elizabeth just feels this weight lift off her shoulders she can go find her older sister and tell her that her dad was stressing them out for no
reason he forgot to un-styling his phone that's why he didn't pick up but he's fine she has no idea where her older sister Catherine is though that was 10 minutes ago this time she's on the phone with her dad and she's not talking to him he's just listening through the line and she won't respond to
him he just hears her screaming he talked to her 10 minutes ago and it was a pleasant conversation what is going on he checks the news there's nothing about Utoa Island there's nothing there was no bomb that was set off there the first thought that pops into his mind is she's being essayed
wait what because there's no news about the island he thinks that she's calling because someone is essaying her at the summer camp either way he hops into his car and he's telling Elizabeth who is no longer responding to him that he's coming he's coming to the island he's gonna come and get her
right now for two full minutes and seven seconds he could do nothing but listen to his daughter scream for her life then a bullet goes through her head through her left temple out her right temple and straight into the phone and the line goes dead on his life was not as easy as it looked okay in order for this to work here to prep for months in a random farm out in the isolated part of town out in the middle of nowhere he had a sit there for months going over the laborous tedious
steps that it takes to create a bomb that weighs a few thousand pounds he had to crush over 200 packages of aspirin the headache medication he had to grind down aluminum till he was at fine silver dust it just got out everywhere do you know how aluminum powder is I mean no matter what you do it's gonna be on every single piece of your clothing it's just gonna be covered in gray dust it's worse than glitter honestly to get out but it also makes things more explosive
he had moved to the farm a few months ago it's about a two-hour drive from his mom's house and he clearly underestimated the amount of work that this whole thing was gonna take his plan was to create a fertilizer bomb it's not as easy as they say online fertilizers for farms are usually in
pellet form each pellet is coated in a water repellent material to make these pellets detonate because you know you basically have to soak it in diesel and gasoline the pellets have to be crushed in order for it to become explosive now how do you
crush it without grinding it he doesn't have a machine so he would just put them all over on the red barn floor and grab a dumbbell one of those workout dumbbells and he would just crush them he barely got through anything nothing is going as planned his whole body feels like it's been ran
through by a truck he's in so sore all the time he feels like his arms are gonna fall off his timeline keeps getting pushed back and back and back at this point he's gonna miss the summer camp and even when he was able to do it he's reading about all these shady websites
and how easy it is to get ignited and how so many people have blown themselves up in the process of trying to create a fertilizer bomb so he's feeling a little freaked out and the fertilizer dust is everywhere he said I used a 3am mask but surely I'm gonna dive cancer within 12 months I mean I
must have gotten so much of the fertilizer dust into my lungs he would make many versions of the big one that he was planning and when it was thundering outside he would take it out into the field to test it to make sure it works that's crazy and he gave him a lot of anxiety you know what
is someone here is that what is someone sees him but also what if it detonates before he can walk away what if the fuse doesn't work as planned then what so to do all of this I mean he had to spend a ton of money on steroids and protein powder to get his muscle mass up this guy was jacked I
mean there's no way that he felt he could carry out this planet if he did not have the stamina he drank a ton of milk for a few months straight he said that his reward system was good food and protein he needed all the energy that he could get if he was gonna kill as many people as he planned to kill he wanted to kill over a hundred some people have described the island of utoya as a piece of heaven on earth or at least before July 22nd if you look at the island from an aerial point of
view it's heart shaped and people say that it has all the best things about Norway just compiled into this one tiny little space the trees the water the climate I mean the island itself is pretty underdeveloped which just adds to the beauty of it there's no crazy resorts on the waterfronts the island is owned by the labor party in Norway so there's just a few buildings out there for the purpose of gatherings and seminars and most importantly the use summer
camp that had been going on for 61 years yeah the few buildings on the island include the main building that's where all the guest speakers come to do these massive group activities then you have the cafeteria a cherry red school house
tiny green cabins as well as clearings to set up tents there's also this little flat patch where you can play soccer but most of the island is wooded and these wooded areas they just drop randomly down into a cliff into the water there was really nowhere you could run
and he was hunting them and they had nowhere too high it he would later say it's not like the movies you know the way people die yeah I mean there were two ways that people reacted to him on the island this is what he said either they would lay down and pretend to be dead or they would
freeze completely like their feet were glued to the ground they could not stop staring at him he would have the gun barrel up to their face and they could not run nothing was holding them down they were just frozen it's like they knew
what was going to happen next he was going to shoot them he's not going to spare them he just thought it was so strange I mean he never saw anything like that in the movies but he was also experimenting on his time in the island he said one time he shot a girl mid-screen he fired into her mouth her
skull shattered but her lips remained unharmed the bullet did not graze any part of her lips he's basically bragging that his aim was good he also would later report that he shot people's heads and they would all sort of let out this egg sale like a
he thought that was interesting he said it didn't happen all the time but most of the time it did and he never read about that anywhere nor was it depicted in the movies there are reports though that after he aimed and shot someone he would let out a quick little whoop or a cheer
and even then there was still a lot of chaos on the island obviously nobody knew how many shooters there were or if he was the only one or if there were other officers on the island everyone was confused into the real cop is this
not a real cop near the middle of his spree he would get tired of checking every nook and cranny and the grass and in the buildings he resorted to luring the kids out is everybody okay we caught the gunman you're safe the furious coming we need to line up and get you on the boats
kids would poke their heads out of their hiding spots and see him in his police uniform with the police badge on his black shirt and all the gear that a real police officer would have come on everyone we've apprehended the shooters it's safe now we got to get going we got to make sure that everybody's accounted for one by one they would hesitantly get up and walk from the area of the grass that they were hiding in and once he gathered a big group he would lift up his arm and open fire
my goodness that is after being shot one survivor said she was shot in the shoulder and in the stomach then later once through her thighs through her legs and she remembered thinking okay so this is how i'm gonna die this is it
she just remembers feelings so thirsty and just waiting for death she closed her eyes and even before she closed her eyes she said that everything looked foggy and misty and the sounds were all muffled as if she was underwater and she thought oh this is what death feels like okay
she closes her eyes and she gets ready because she said i'd rather just die quickly but the darkness never came and she opened her eyes again and she felt this overwhelming sense of well if death doesn't come to me why would i go to death i should try and survive and she said that she kept thinking about two things to keep herself awake and distracted one she hadn't seen the last Harry Potter movie yet she read all the books but the last film deathly hollows part two
it'd be a shame if she left the series unfinished and two there was this guy in her class he was a total douchebag and she never told him he was a douchebag and she said so now unless i go and tell him he's a douchebag he's gonna live his whole life not knowing that he's an ultimate douchebag so she had to stay a life for that Anders did spare a few of the kids one was this little boy i believe he was there with his parents and Anders believed that he was too young to know
any better too young to have a choice on whether or not he was at a camp like this so he spared the little boy but also he needed some more bullets but he also spared 21-year-old Adrian Adrian in the beginning when he first heard the firework like noises he did not
believe that someone was hunting them i mean as the right then this just doesn't make sense it's kind of ludicrous the idea of someone coming onto the island and shooting at them in Norway where it has one of the lowest murder rates like people don't just shoot people in Norway that's crazy
Adrian thinks genuinely maybe the camp like someone in the camp is trying to have a sick joke right now and even though his brain is having a very hard time processing everything that he's heard his body's reacting he's half-crouched hidden behind a tree and all around him he can feel more teenagers crouching and waiting to see what's the best next step everyone but the girl in gray she did not hear anything she had been in the showers the whole time she had no idea that her friends
were being hunted and murdered in the woods she didn't hear the gunshot she was in the shower she's walking out of the bathroom and all the other students are holding their breath because she's on the phone and walking straight towards the guy with the gun the man starts walking
straight towards her too he doesn't speed up or slow down he just walks at a leisurely place and he looks like he's intrigued like they're just strangers that are about to pass each other on a hike but when there are a few feet away from each other the girl looks up and her
whole body tenses there's just something so unsettling about this whole situation why is there a police officer on the island and why is he holding a gun and why is he looking at her like that and there's nobody around there there is but they're hiding
right her whole body tenses and she instinctively takes a few steps back and the students in the grass see the man lift his right hand and shoot her straight in the head and she is dead that is when Adrian realized this is not a prank this is very real Adrian and the others they make a run for it they start running towards the edge of the island because they're ready to jump off the cliff and into the water they start throwing themselves into the water under the water maybe
that if they're under the water he can't see where there are and maybe if he can the bullet can't reach them that quickly and won't have the same amount of damage since bullets travel slower due to the density of the water exactly so Adrian is knees deep in water when he looks to his side and he makes direct eye contact with the barrel of the gun and it feels like multiple Mrs. Sippys have passed time is slow he imagines his parents and their cute Australian shepherds just showing up to
his grave and he's thinking what a shit way to die that's what he was thinking at that moment and he looks up and he screams don't shoot but he instinctively closes his eyes waiting for the impact of the bullet what is being shot feel like I mean I guess he's gonna find out right
but when he opens his eyes the man is lowered his gun and is stepping away from the trees what the hell is his gun jammed but then he hears two more shots ring out almost immediately the man Anders would later say he did not kill Adrian because Adrian looked like a conservative rather than a liberal
what Anders had a manifesto titled 2083 a European declaration of independence the whole thing is 1500 pages long 1500 pages not words pages long and when he's done he had a plan to email it to over a thousand people before he committed his crime which he did the manifesto was emailed out to like an
email list before he committed the crime before he bombed the government building who are who's on the list a lot of them were neo-nazis that he met on a forum that he was collecting their emails but also they would include Norwegian politicians and journalists the whole dragging 1500 pages of
the manifesto are just him critiquing Norway Norway's labor party multi-culturalism I mean nothing he says is revolutionary eye-opening even thoughtful or remotely correct most of the pages are littered with historically inaccurate
rambling rants of someone who thinks that they know more than everybody else also it's just filled to the brim with hatred basically he's a raging racist most of his hatred is aimed towards anyone that is muslim he really hates muslim people he thinks that they're immigrating too
frequently to Norway and they're going to secretly rape all of the norwegian roman and take over yeah and he thinks that they're immigrating to his country because this random good for nothing civilian owns the country in the manifesto we do get a diary of how he's planning on committing the
bombing and shootings he even writes about his steps to get there and how he's been planning this for years and something very unsettling to note the way Anders talks about the plan is almost like he's planning a tactical military operation there is no sense that he understands these are real
lives not saying that he doesn't know right from wrong but like he's such a narcissist he does not believe that other people's lives mean anything this is his world and we're all just living in it is the tone that he uses he also emphasizes the importance of bringing water with you
on a trip like this to get the mission completed so you don't get dehydrated the way that he describes his future movements his plans is almost like he's playing a violent video game he also rants heavily in the manifesto about the new norway and how it's become a place where women come in and they
just take men's power he said it's so hard to find a suitable female to marry because all the women in norway are just so liberal and they would make horrendous housewives which is why when he was younger in his 20s you know he was a bit more into the idea of getting married and having a traditional
family and a housewife he tried to get a male order bride yeah okay so he said i'm gonna look for women that are super submissive right and i think that is just crazy to think that a specific ethnicity of women is more submissive is wild but he also goes for eastern european countries
which is like not what the women are known for there they're usually known for being very independent and had strong like any other country he meets a Russian woman by the name of Natasha and he said that they dated for a while and most of it was just him shit talking her country and her
culture he was just like yeah you guys are super uncivilized and i think that most of your vegetables and food is radioactive because you know Chernobyl wow obviously she stopped dating him and he wondered why things did not work out he was genuinely confused he didn't
feel like the problem was him you know and there's really only two people in the relationship so the clearly the problem was with her the female and women honestly it was women's problem he stated that his upbringing had been so difficult because his mom was a bad mom because
of the feminist sexual revolution that's why she had so many boyfriends because the world was like you should have so many boyfriends you're a feminist ooh go do your thing here remembers when he was a child the very first female prime minister of Norway was in office grow
she's actually known as the mother of Norway and he hated her he said she embraced the position too much as if she genuinely thought that a woman being in the most powerful seat of the country was a natural thing that seemed belonged to a man she was just warming it up
he said that TV stations are busy being a propaganda machine where just showcases female superiority he ran set women use sexual harassment charges to keep men in line he writes the man of today is expected to be a touchy-feely sub species who bows to the radical feminist agenda
to summarize 1500 pages the women were taking over and now this was turning into a vagina state that's what people like him called it a vagina state yeah so what is he going to do about it first he's going to kill all these people to make a statement the labor party the
democrats the liberals if you will the people that want women in power grow was part of the labor party and it is the current ruling party of Norway at the time in 2011 he wanted to kill them strike them down make a statement then he would find a way to take over and stop the ruling of their country
and then he would create the most specific conditions for breeding the best race you had to have blue eyes and blonde hair he would create these surrogate factories where men with blonde hair blue eyes would go in and just impregnate blonde hair blue eyed women so that these jeans don't
disappear because of all the Muslims that were coming in and having sex with Norwegian woman wait so he had a plan after this island yeah shooting wow it was a very dumb plan but he did have a plan i mean it's honestly wild because he felt like he was one of the superior people to
repopulate the population right most people describe him as being average they basically state he's so average he's not even good at being average he's average at being average he was an average dude average grades average personality he was even an average bully he wasn't even like the
worst bully in school he was just like a very average dude the students on the island they had two choices stay on the island and get shot or try to swim away from the island and likely die by getting shot in the water or drowning so they're all throwing themselves into the lake and they're heavy
closer dragging them under the water it's a dangerous place to swim and then the figure appears onters is standing on the edge of the trees staring at the teenagers trying to swim away and his face is bright red was it blood was he just hot i don't know any screams i'm gonna kill you all
you're all gonna die tonight and he opens fire villager's remembers thinking i shouldn't touch my brain right now he could feel the cold water and he remembered the bullets had just rained down on them villager was busy shielding his brother pushing him into the
water pushing him out of the way and his brother kept screaming for him and he kept screaming swim get out of here he remembers getting shot a few times his brother was now gone hopefully alive swim away hopefully he did a good job pushing him but now he was feeling most of his body go numb his eye
especially it felt like something was in his eye he could see with his other good eye but not well his childhood best friend slammed down right next to him she had been shot her hands were bloodied and she was holding her stomach where the bullet was and she was
crying to him i'm gonna die villager i'm gonna die aren't i oh no you're not no you're not gonna die we're not gonna die but he couldn't really see he couldn't really see how injured she was his eye was hurting him he tried to open his other eye and no light was coming in
he looked at his friend and he calmly said i think i've been shot in my eye she looked at him oh shit because what else do you say to someone who'd been shot in their eye he put his hand up to his eye and he felt something squishy it was soft
it was his brain his skull had been shattered and there were bits of brain outside of his head but his brother he just needed to make sure that his brother was good so that he could rest that's what they say in the movies right keep yourself awake until your loved ones are good
and then you can go to sleep so he laid there on the shore telling jokes to everyone there he was shot bleeding out a lot of them near him were dead and he would tell them jokes he would hum he would sing and then he would cry
for his brother that was all he wanted to do was to make sure his brother was safe until he couldn't do it anymore that was his plan some of the other teenagers tried to find some humor in their potential last moments two were shot on the shore and they were hiding behind rocks they were
both bleeding out holding onto their wounds trying to stop the blood flow and they were trying to stay as still as possible so the killer doesn't come back and they whispered it'd be really nice to have a cigarette right now yeah it would be do you think the shops are still open
and they both giggled and they stopped because it hurt the Delta teams were dispatched to the island nor ways elite police units they arrived 72 minutes after Anders they're trying to get an understanding of what's happening but it's been pure chaos for the past 72 minutes
nobody knows who the killer is where the killer is and how many there even are I mean everyone's busy trying to stay alive even when the Delta teams get there they're trying to talk to some of the wounded to try and figure out who the shooter is but they don't want to talk
the ones that are still conscious they're scared they don't know if it's just another shooter pretending to be a cop trying to get them to talk so they're pretending to be dead still how do they know that these police are the good guys authorities described the survivors as being
curiously quiet they said it seemed like they were more or less paralyzed they weren't screaming they were just sitting there as quiet as possible the locals who were working near the dogs who are live near the island they started getting into their boats and they were getting ready I mean they had no idea what was going on but it seemed like there were kids jumping into the frigid cold water trying to do something so they start rushing over there
and now as they get closer some of the boats stop and they just float around the island because they realize if they get closer close enough to help the kids they could also become a victim there's clearly blood everywhere other boat owners they don't even think twice they start navigating closer to
pull the kids out of the water the kids are being pulled up one by one shivering some of them actively bleeding the water around them is turning pink what the hell is going on they're coughing up water a police man is shooting at us another boat owner drove us close to the group as children as
possible they they can't get too close because the boats propellers and they're trying to be as quiet trying to get the kids to get into the boat or at least lift their arms out so we can help grab you but none of the kids would respond it's like they were too scared to move
it took him a minute to realize they were actually dead one of the survivors said she has really bad vision and she had lost her glasses in the water and she was really glad she said because she couldn't see much but she was told it was a lake of death some of the boat rescuers
told the kids don't don't look back okay just keep your eyes ahead but some of the survivors they couldn't help it they looked back and along the shoreline in the water were just the lifeless bodies of their friends scattered around

and once the delta teams get there onters was immediately arrested it was incredibly anti-climactic unaventful he basically surrendered and told the police he's not gonna hurt the police because there is brothers it's the others he wants to take out immigrants and those that are sensitive to
immigrants that care for immigrants he said i'm not against you this is politically motivated this country is being invaded by foreigners this is a coup this is the start of hell a few things to note onters actually called to turn himself in multiple times while he was on the island twice and he mainly did this not because he was like suddenly i feel remorse i don't know why i did that i just woke up from a hallucination and i was killing people no he did
this because he did not want the officers to show up and shoot him on site when they get to the island ironically he was very invested in wanting to save his own life and additionally he kept calling his crimes executions like the victims were executed by the state or something he
refuted them being referred to as murders which is wild after his arrest the only thing that he seemed really to care about well one was not being put in a prison with a lot of Muslim inmates wow but also was that they do not take his picture he was hellbent on the police
using one of the pictures that he had prepared for this very moment he included it in his manifesto in fact he wrote in his manifesto before you commit acts of terrorism take professional headshots where you look good get a haircut by a suit and tie do your makeup even because otherwise the police
will purposely find the most r-word looking photo of you and posted everywhere that's the photo you're going to be known for that is crazy yeah and what did they use they used their own photo yeah did you see the photo that he prepared yeah
there i mean some of them are like imposing with a gun but they do look photoshopped so he's it's like Facebook photo like trying to look cool yes trying to look bad and cool yeah in a little more than an hour Anders had shot 99 people almost all of them he shot more than once
almost half of them he shot at least three times out of the 99 69 died leaving the remaining 30 with very serious injuries and also he killed eight people with his bomb and in total in the span of a few hours on july 22nd 2011 he killed 77 people the youngest being 14 and the oldest being 51 and the majority of the disease being teenagers two of his victims were not shot or impacted by the bomb but one 17-year-old boy in his attempt to flee the island he fell off a cliff and fractured his
skull leading to his death another 17-year-old boy was trying to swim away to escape the island but remember how i said it rains a lot during the summer a lot of them were wearing rain jackets and rain boots it was in hot so a lot of them were wearing a lot of thicker heavy clothing and the water was pretty dangerous he was found drowned at the bottom of the lake it was the bloodiest day in Norway since world war two and at the time globally it was the worst mass murder in modern western history
at the time everyone on the island gets divided into three categories by the authorities survivors who had been shot but they survived bodies and those who are still on the island and likely not alive their bodies have yet to be recovered and of course you had the group that were not shot and they
survived do you remember Elizabeth she was the one on the phone with her dad when she was shot she was unfortunately um she passed but her older sister Catherine was also on the island and she called her parents and she was
trying to keep calm so that they didn't worry too much and she told them mom i been shot in the stomach and the arm but it's okay i'm okay they're taking me to the hospital she would be hospitalized for 19 days and then she'd be well enough to go home and when she did i mean nothing in her
life was the same anymore she lost her little sister she gets winded even just climbing up a flight of steps and one night she completely broke down crying why me though why me Elizabeth was the pretty one with all the friends why did i survive why not her why did she have to be the one to die
and her parents didn't even know how to respond to that Adrienne the one that Anders didn't shoot initially because he thought he looked conservative enough well he was eventually shot in the shoulder well their Anders was aiming for him or just opening fire on everyone and he
happened to be in that group it's unclear but he was hiding when he was shot he's revived made it to shore and he kept insisting i'm good i've just been shot in the shoulder there's other kids that have been shot in the head the
face the stomach the chest like go take care of them the EMT listens to his heart and they're shocked i mean they're staring at Adrienne like he's not even supposed to be here because if that bullet had been one millimeter one pencil tip closer to the left he would have needed to
amputate his whole arm if it had been one centimeter about the size of a staple closer to his heart it would have killed him villjar the brother who was shot in the eye he survived he the one that with the brain tissue out he lost an eye he needed to amputate
his arm but he survived and so did his brother villjar was in a coma for a really long time nobody knew if he was going to make it and the doctors came in and they told his family we're going to need to amputate his arm before he even wakes up from the coma
and his family said that villjar's little brother he would stick one arm into his shirt for the next few weeks until villjar woke up he said he wanted to prepare for when his brother woke up from his coma so he could teach them all the tricks of living without one of his arms
so he tried to live his life without one of his arms so that he could give him all the hacks there were a lot of siblings at the camp and in some cases parents lost both of their children at once there was a survivor named Laura and she said
it felt like he never ran out of bullets when it started there was so much mud that I almost slipped I kicked off my sandals I was running barefoot it didn't take long to get to the end of the island maybe 30 seconds it was then that I realized there's no place to run to
there's nowhere to hide she would lose her older sister Bono on the island many of the survivors they lost friends or family and they felt a ton of survivors guilt one survivor said I only had time to escape and survive because he's busy killing someone else
in the days after the attack the entire city of Oslo and really all over Norway there were flowers laid out for the victims flower shops all over the country were running out of roses the lease then orchids then carnations every church and monument in the city was covered in flowers
after Anders is arrest Anders's mom was contacted by the police and she was told to come out of the building and put her hands in the air she thought that her son had also been injured in the bombing in Oslo she was freaking out
making sure that her babies all right she thought it was strange like he's not coming over for dinner like he promised and it was only in the interrogation room that she learned what her son did and she kind of sort of defended him I mean she didn't deny that he did this at least not at the end
but she basically just said that Anders was a sensible and clever kid he had good friends and was a nice boy warm and fond of his mom he did get arrested once before because he was like vandalizing public property he was a tagger meaning that he would go around tagging his name
this is very different from graffiti artists graffiti artists do art for graffiti taggers they just write their names do you know those words yeah yeah yeah yeah he would just spray paint walls he was arrested for that once before but other than that she thought that he was getting his life
together after high school Anders actually got involved in politics he was actually a not bad networker once he needed to be and um because you know that's what politics is he was actually pretty good at it except there was always that thing people could tell that Anders wanted to fit in those who desperately he also had a very strong preachy air about him that people didn't like in politics for example let's say you start a knitting club everyone who joins has never knit a day in their
life prior to that club everyone is on the same skill level everybody is in the same experience level and then suddenly two days in there's someone giving you knitting advice as if they've been doing this for the past two decades of their life and it's very annoying to say the least
that's Anders he gives up politics he discovers his real passion is not politics it's money to him it's either be a millionaire or die trying to be a millionaire he was obsessed with money status and power and honestly he just
like the power that money gave him nothing else he would have all these big grand ideas of how he was going to revolutionize a reputable industry and he always complained you should not be ashamed of wanting to have a better life and setting goals norway is obsessed with the loser mentality
yeah he was always preaching and ranting about aiming higher smashing through the most insane goals and boundaries and if you listen to him talking you would think that he's in the process of starting like the next fortune 500
company but no he's selling online fake diplomas he had a website and it's illegal gray area he would list the website as a decorative prop store for movie sets and films but I mean I think it's pretty clear everyone knows what's being sold there he would sell very legitimate looking diplomas
from top universities around the world he was basically a glorified forger and the only reason that he stopped even though he was making like a million dollars he he at one point was a millionaire what yeah he was scared not for being arrested he was scared that he would be exposed for
being a forger and that is such a low thing to be exposed for it's like being described as a thief like that's a very low-peddy crime it's gross so he quit selling fake diplomas and he tried to move on with his life but he just couldn't find anything so for five years he moved in with
his mom this is when he's 27 years old he locked himself in his room and for five years he just played video games his favorites were world of warcraft and call of duty he was actually pretty good at gaming and he really liked the concept of gaming he went on these rants about how you just need to put in the hours to be respected you don't need to be born into games you don't need to be handsome you play and you get respect from other players that's it he
likes that everybody starts on the same footing and nobody has inherit privileges which I mean nobody tell this guy about cheat codes a lot of netizens did later point out that it is strange he's a neo-nazi which the best way to categorize on does is neo-nazi and they're fascists they're like super far right and usually they're the bitter enemies of communist which somewhat argue is like super super far left but sometimes the things he says it feels
like he identifies more as a communist than a fascist he's like everybody should be equal but only if you have blonde hair blue eyes and only if you have a weeby he also did join the free mason's only because someone on his dad's side was a
free mason and he basically forced him into recommending him and he did join he did join oh and nothing really came out of that by the time that he had his little initiation ceremony yeah they have ceremonies he was over the free mason's he was like this is stupid i'm just gonna go kill people
he was already planning the murders at this point at the end of the interview with Anders' mom she looked the interviewer dead in the face and she said i am the unhappiest mother in Norway there's only one place a criminal would want to be called crazy or insane out
of their minds bonkers and that's in a courtroom it's the only place it's actually gonna help them to be considered a madman unless you're Anders and your attorney recommends a not guilty plea of insanity but you want everyone to know that you knowingly committed all these crimes knowing
right from wrong being considered insane by the court system was his biggest nightmare yeah priorities okay another priority for Anders was debating should he do a closed fist salute or an open palm salute he decides to go with the closed fist when he walks into the courtroom
before he takes a seat he shoots out his right arm and extends it as straight as possible and his right hand is clenched into a fist and his knuckles are white then he turns straight to the gallery of the courtroom and makes eye contact with the family members of the victims he looks incredibly pleased with himself now side note they did have on does go to the island and recreate the whole 72 minutes with them they run him back to the island he was wearing a bullet proof
of harness he was tethered to a police officer's that he couldn't run off literally he's wearing one of those childly shoes but much more serious bullet proof tear proof you get it and he's just going around demonstrating where he shot which group then which way he walked why is he wearing a bullet proof they were worried that he was going to threaten them into killing him like he was going to threaten a police officer so that they would shoot him dead
wait they were afraid that one police officer would kill him he would put them in a situation where they had to shoot him like he would want to exit by a police officer right like he's trying to run away or trying to attack them and so they can make him exit
but they don't want to do that because they wanted him to stand for his crimes right okay now two degree it was for the police to get a very clear picture of how everything happened but it was also so that they could get a gauge on his emotions
and they observed that he had no regret no emotions going back to the silent there is a picture of him where he was just holding up an imaginary gun and he's grinning so he's basically displaying to the police this is what I did here it's like he's reliving the kills later during the trial
Anders is given the opportunity to address the victim's families and he slowly gets up from his chair turns to face the court and he says when people say they have lost their but most beloved I also lost my entire family I lost my friends it was my choice I sacrificed
them but I did lose my entire family and friends on July 22nd I lost everything so to a certain extent I understand crazy and one snippet of his testimony yeah okay so in the US it's advice that defendants do not take the stand but Anders testimony and cross examination would go to
last longer than a week he actually gets very upset when they start rushing him because this is his time to shine yeah and he tried to argue that he did he did not do this out of evil he did this out of goodness he was trying to help Norway he also compared the camp the summer camp to a
Hitler youth event which is crazy considering he has many parallels in the way that he thinks that are parallel to Hitler and what are you even talking about yeah that's not even politically correct it's astonishing how someone can be so evil but also at the same time so incredibly
unaware of themselves in their own ideologies it's just weird day 17 of the trial and object goes flying through the courtroom a shoe I mean all anyone can do is you stare at it it misses Anders which is the target and it hits one of his defense attorneys instead and a man gets
up screaming from his chair go to hell you killed my brother you go to hell Anders turns around and he looks disgusted by this man's actions like throwing a shoe is the most violent and vile just despicable unsyvilized thing a human could do but that man looks from dead in the face
and says you're a murderer and a devil so go to hell the whole courtroom is silent before one person starts clapping and then another and then suddenly everybody is cheering and clapping the young man is escorted out of the courtroom with just one shoe now to give you additional
context like I said Anders hates Muslims and shoe throwing actually has a very strong significance in Arab culture shoe throwing has for my understanding it basically means that the target of the shoe is worth no more than the dirt that we step in and that's why he threw the shoe he said
that he just wants to humiliate Anders that's all convey a message for all the victims and it's an expression of disgust in the end Anders was deemed sane and given the maximum punishment of 21 years you're kidding me now I will say there is a loophole in this so this sentence is
what the Norwegian Justice System calls containment so it's not technically 21 years it's likely that he'll never get out so basically what happens is that parole can be considered in 10 years but after 21 years for whatever reason it doesn't even really have to be like a valid strong
crazy reason the parole board is just like now you're gonna stay another 20 years it just seems like that's the maximum they can give so it just means that after 21 years they have to evaluate okay but like there there's no way he's getting out is what most people believe
imagine though yeah no I don't think so like I think no Norwegians would know yeah Anders will be kept in solitary confinement his only friends are a few parakeets that he gets to keep in his he has a two-story prison cell it's two stories we're gonna get back to it because
Norway has some of the best prisons now the victim's families and survivors are just trying to navigate life and in most cases severe PTSD one survivor said that there are times where he's in a crowded street or store and he starts having panic attacks his chest gets tight like he's
gasping for air another survivor said the only place that they feel safe is in a moving car where there's no strangers there's no openness and it's easy to drive away some survivors still have bullets or fragments of bullets in their bodies because it would have been more dangerous
to remove them and one survivor said it definitely hurts with trying to move on they said mentally it's like there are still pieces of evil inside of me and it just feels like a reminder some of the victims families and survivors have moved on though Elizabeth and Catherine's
dad the one that was on the phone when he heard his daughter died he said he doesn't hate on others he said because I don't give a damn about him why should I care I still have my family that I need to take care of and to hate him it would take my energy from day one he is nothing but zero to me
now I want to give a massive disclaimer regarding onters and imprisonment I chose to include this portion regarding the Norwegian prison system only because it is a fact of the case and because a lot of netizens were talking about it and I only compare it to the US prisons because naturally that's where the most of you guys are and also when I hear oh he's in prison I'm kind of picturing
an American prison right that is not the case onters filed a formal complaint well he waged a lawsuit against the country of Norway for a violation of his human rights in prison he demanded a replacement of his PS2 PlayStation 2 to a PS3 because at this point the PS4 had already come out and it's not like he's demanding the best one the newest one but the PS2 is way too outdated what else can he do in there or what can he not do in yeah which by the way onters said that he during the trial he in his manifesto too he's still
being a bit outdated that he practiced shooting in first person pointer shooter games like world of warcraft but in prison he gets access to any adult games that he chooses so he could be playing these video games and this is not me trying to make a connection with violent video games like I'm I typically don't subscribe to that belief but he straight upset that's how I practiced he also went to shooting ranges but he also said he demands that his government allowance of $49 per week should be doubled
yeah and he said that the fact that his typewriter has not been upgraded to a computer is a violation against his human rights and he also mentions how he was given a rubber pen because he was constantly talking about self exiting so of course they're not going to give him a sharp pen to hurt himself with so they give him a rubber pen and he said the pen is not ergonomic and it gives his hand cramped he said it's actually sadistic that the government would give him nothing but a rubber pen to write with he said it's a nightmare of an instrument and I'm very frustrated with it he wrote in the lawsuit you put me in hell and I won't manage to survive that long you are
killing me if I die all of Europe's right-wing extremists will know exactly who it was that tortured me to death the liberals he also caught himself a political prisoner and a human rights activist in the lawsuit a human rights activist side note there are a lot of women writing love letters to Anders in prison but because he's in solitary confinement the authorities get to read through all the letters before he gets to them and they reject all of those all the quote fun ones I do believe that they let in some hate
male because he also gets a lot of hate male in 2022 he applied for parole after his minimum sentence of 10 years was served his application was denied now in 2024 he is 45 years old and he waged another lawsuit this year against Norway and he claims that his conditions in prison are inhumane and it's making him on a self exit but when a psychologist evaluated him they stated that he does not appear to be very depressed and he was very low risk for self exiting
but just to give you an idea of how depraved his inhumane conditions are here's a glimpse of his everyday life he can play video games watch tv read the newspaper and check out books from the prison library he was given a computer so his typewriter was changed into a computer but he does not have internet access he can prepare his own food and do his own washing he can have phone conversations with female friends he can contact prison staff lawyers priest health professionals he has an outside volunteer that he was working with to get updates on life
and help with things but he no longer wishes to see them I think they pissed him off they can play chess with some volunteers he built a gingerbread house as part of a prison competition during the holidays he's got access to an outdoor play yard and is allowed to keep pet birds that's freaking crazy he has a living room in his cell that is the size of a medium sized apartment living room and there are two video game consoles connected to a flat screen TV that looks to be about 60 inches
he has black leather couches a coffee table and curtains on a massive window that lets in a ton of natural light he has a dining table that has one of those table runners that's equipped with candles so I guess if he wants to eat nicely
the prison gym has a rowing machine a leg press all of it which looks very clean and new now normally this is a cell pod so that two story cell would be shared between a few prisoners but because onters is high risk he gets to have it all times off and he believes this is inhumane and that is the story of what happened on utoya island and I mean yeah I don't really know what to say really how to end this video even that is the story of what happened on utoya island
I don't think I need a disclaimer but obviously I don't think any religion has any sort of connection with one's personality I do think that there's a lot of villainification of Muslims and I mean I don't think anything he said is even yeah is even worth you know debate it on it's not even a conversation because it's like talking to a brick wall like there are no thoughts it's just pure hatred yeah there is a Netflix movie that was created based off the events and I would fictional movie
fictional you know I think there were some conversations about it which obviously it was not used as source material but I just want to let you know but what are your thoughts on this case let me know in the comments this was a highly requested video and please check out the book I think the book the author works with a lot of the victims families and it was just an incredibly tough read to get through but I think it is very insightful please stay safe and I will see you guys on Wednesday bye
