Breivik: 21-yr jail term pathetic


rt.com
Norway killer says capital punishment or full acquittal are the “only logical outcomes” for his murder of 77 people last July. As Norwegian law does not provide for the death penalty, 21 years in prison is the harshest sentence the court can pass.

Do they? You are talking about Norway?

Could be...I haven't heard anything about it.

Yes this is the case, he can be locked up indefinitely, if he is still considered a danger to the Public. I would say Norway's justice system is an example to the rest of the world. Some I'm sure will disagree.

I sincerely hope your confidence in the system and the feelings or priorities of people 20 years from now is the same as it is today. Here in the US I have things like Manson being sentenced to Death....and up for a no on Parole these days. How could that happen? Politics and a brief change in attitudes.

You seem pretty confident it'll go that way though, and every 5 years...the same sense of conviction a few decades out. Perhaps you're right. Life Without Parole works here for the Monsters. It never gives the option for soft hearted...or minded...politicians to let a monster out when time softens memory.

Then you make the guy a martyr for his cause. You then give him what he wants. he then wins, Norwegen society loses. At the moment, this liberal sentencing is the type of thing Brevik hated about his society. So in a way this is the option he would least like for his fate.

I agree...I think he even wanted the death sentence to further his cause.

On the other hand...executing him would send a message...

Today's criminals fear the law much less than before. They know that you can get away with murder these days...

I would think that a man that takes 77 lives is entitled to a death sentence. If anyone deserved it...it's him.


As for his continuation of a sentence...well...and what if a extremist right wing party was in power by the time he is to get out? Do you think it wouldn't matter?
