Anders Breivik

[Plaything of the gods]

I agree, no media attension should be given to him.

As someone who has always been against the death penalty ... i do find it hard to justify why we should keep a guy who feels no remorse for killing 77 kids alive

But if you justify it for 77 deaths, where do you draw the line. Do you say anything over 5 murders, anything over 10? It tough but you can't justify the death penalty no matter the crime.

I'm sure the victims parents if given the chance to get to him could

Well people are different of course but the reactions of those directly affected are often milder and more forgiving than those of the outraged bystanders who, frankly, have no direct interest in the 'crime'. Witness the forgiving response of some of the victims and families of the murdered from 9/11 and 7/7, even some Americans! The Norwegians seem a pretty level headed people - amazing considering what the Norse used to get up to.

Im pretty sure he is sane and has acted as others have beofre and others will do in the future for political ends. I think he probably sees himself as a matyr for his cause. It has just been on the news that he asked to be acquitted as he is a Norwegian fighting for his countries freedom and the killings were because the youths were supporters of multi-culturism.


If he is convicted of the charges brought against him he can be sentenced to a maximum 21 years under Norwegian law.

Yes but then the case is reviewed and he stays where he is. We had this scare mongering when it first happened.

Norway have similar laws to Britain regarding indeterminate sentencing.
He would have to be assessed as sane and that he was no longer a serious threat to society to be released.
I doubt these criteria will ever be met by Breivik.
Or a few on here,come to think of it.

Yeah i agree with you both, i was just stating the 21 years as it stands. I doubt he would ever be released as NF says.

He's never coming out.

The good thing is by the time the 21 years has come around, the Muslims will be in charge and will have him stoned to death. ;-)

At least he'll have the satisfaction of saying "I told you so".

 

[Vinjay]

Regarding death penalty debate it would have been no deterrent in this case. As previously mentioned there is no such policy in Norway and infact they had a minimum jail term before this happened.

Also he expected to be killed anyway before surrendering so how do you punish a guy like this? Probably thinks he will eventually be broken out and installed as head of the Norwegian Army. Infact he has already "demanded" that position.

The guy is a total nutter. It could be considered a cliche to say that a person's eyes can reflect their personality...but Breivik's eyes are just black pits, no show of feeling whatsoever. Hes a complete psycho.
