It's sad to see some people get defensive and try to pit this as a "europe vs the US" thing, even bringing up the Utøya tragedy and Breivik. The article is just click bait, and sensationalism at its worst. "Texas" is a slang to mean "wild west", like they say further into the article. I don't know why they try to pin it as "crazy". It doesn't have anything to do with stereotypes. It stems from old westerns and has been in our language for decades. "Texas" in the 60s and 70s was Bonanza, cowboys and spaghetti westerns for most people in Norway. The expression just stuck. That's how language works.
