Norway Vs the US in response to Breivik

Quote from byteme:

Police force capabilities, equipment, preparedness etc. are arguably proportional to the threats and demands they are likely to anticipate within reason.

I would suggest that a 6-sigma event would catch any system off-guard; I thought you would understand that given your background in trading and options.

Murder rate in Illinois 6.0 per 100,000
Murder rate in Norway 0.6 per 100,000

Then you are the fat-tail arguement out of hand, and you are clearly ignoring the fundamentals. Terrorists clearly target the weak.

Name the number of terrorist attacks in Illinois versus Norway.

Quote from Maverick74:

I hear dying is quite rare as well. It only happens once in our lives. No need to do anything to prevent that either.

I can't believe anyone on this forum would defend the response time to this tragedy. It's absolutely unacceptable.

Your argument in the OP is invalid. Please try harder with your non-sequitur.

Terrorists do target weak states like the US , UK, Saudi Arabia, China, Iran...................
 
The Norwegian police is too underfunded, undertrained (it seems) and understaffed to sufficiently handle such a scenario. Norway is a soft target for terrorism, that goes without saying.

But it is important to remember that a large explosion went off just before the shooting (30 minutes outside the city, on the opposite side) started. All available personnel were subsequently at that location, which had an effect on the ability to handle the situation at Utoya.

If this would have happened in any other part/city other than Oslo, then you would really be shocked.

where were US SWAT teams, helicopters, the police?

where were vigilantes that are supposed to use their guns to stop the criminals?

In Texas, despite its reputation for guns, most public businesses post a sign saying you are not allowed to bring firearms inside. Violation of this carries stiff penalties.

PROHIBITING HANDGUNS IN A BUSINESS OR OTHER ENTITY
In order to provide notice that entry on property by a license holder with a concealed handgun is forbidden, Penal Code Section 30.06(c)(3)(A) requires that a written communication contain the following language:

"PURSUANT TO SECTION 30.06, PENAL CODE (TRESPASS BY HOLDER OF A LICENSE TO CARRY A CONCEALED HANDGUN) A PERSON LICENSED UNDER SUBCHAPTER H, CHAPTER 411, GOVERNMENT CODE (CONCEALED HANDGUN LAW), MAY NOT ENTER THIS PROPERTY WITH A CONCEALED HANDGUN."


NOTE: This is section 30.06.
