Germany: Car driven into people at Xmas markets.

No it’s not quite the same.
The Norwegian attacked the children of his political “enemies”who were attending an event on an island, organised by a political group. This was after setting off a bomb on the mainland.
They were just innocent children of course, but not random victims like In Germany. It was carefully targeted- I don’t recall reading he was Islamophobic or that it featured in what he did…but I stand to be corrected on that.
He was Islamaphobic
 
Another interesting aspect of that case is that Breitvik is now eligible for parole. It’s been refused twice already, of course, but his sentence was 21 years, which takes him to 2033.
They can hold him beyond that and I'm sure they will.

He'll never be deemed safe for release because he'll never be able to persuade the parole board he no longer possesses his extreme views and violent intent.

How can you come back from killing 77 people and just live in society? If he were to ever have an awakening and genuine empathy and remorse , someone with a vaguely normal mindset would hang themselves in their cell.

His parole pleas are naturally all about himself.

Oh yeah, I’m sure he’ll never see the cold light of day again.
 
One thing that is clear is just like in the Uk the security and intelligence failed. They were aware of him for a long time and were even warned about him. We’ve had similar with known dangerous criminals not being locked up before they have chance to commit these crimes
How do you lock someone up before they have committed a crime?
