MEANWHILE IN NORWAY!!! [View all]

Last edited Thu Apr 26, 2012, 11:11 AM - Edit history (1)



Tens of thousands take to Norway’s streets to sing a song that Anders Behring Breivik hates

Up to 40,000 Norwegians staged an emotionally-charged sing-along in Oslo on Thursday near the court house where Anders Behring Breivik is on trial for the murder of 77 people in a protest organizers said showed he had not broken their tolerant society.

The crowd chose to sing a song – “Children of the Rainbow” – that extols the type of multicultural society Breivik has said he despised and one that he specifically dismissed during the trial as Marxist propaganda. (Photo: Kyrre Lien/NTB Scanpix/Reuters)
