Norway City Declares, We Have The Lost The City To Islam 36-year-old Sturla Nstvik of Oslo was going about his life as usual when the barrel of a pistol came crashing down on his forehead. For almost an hour after that, he was held hostage by a group of robbers. This is just one example of the apocalyptic level of cultural violence in the city, where people openly sell drugs and women are being raped at night. Nstviks story is just one of many like his. In the past ten years alone, more than 4,000 people have been robbed in the town center. The majority of them are young men. The robbers are known for playing on the fear of their victims, torturing them with severe threats in order to leave an impact on them. Nstvik is the 351st robbery victim this year, and as many as 50 assault-rapes have been reported in the same time period. While Nstvik was in the hospital, authorities told him that everybody should have the right to feel safe but that they had no way of halting the robberies. We have lost the city, authorities concluded. What do you think? Does this violence need to be stopped?
