Well OK. I think I answered my own question then. Breivik did not act alone but in complicity with the 80% of the planet who are pathologically amoral.

The highest count of that sort of thing I've ever read was one psychologist (maybe psychiatrist) who believed that one in twenty five people are sociopathic.

Ok, I agree. The mass of humanity cannot summon forth the energy to care enough about their fellow man to do anything.
