I think it`s very unfortunate that the max punishment is 21-26 years in prison. Anders should at least rot in a prison cell for the rest of his life. Many here in Norway think he should be executed, but that`s against Norwegian law. Personally I think he should face the same punishment as Vidkun Quisling in may, 1945. Execution by firing squad.

I am generally not very enthusiastic regarding the death penalty, yet I can't deny that the prospect of this particular murderer "getting away" grinds my gears...I've also thought back to the war, when Norway did some "exceptions" when it came to what the hardest punishment should be.

I can't imagine Norway making this exception today, but lord knows that this man does not deserve to live in the same world as the relatives to those he killed.

Norway will not make exceptions for another penalty an what is written in the law ... however can someone "forget to lock the cell door" and that, makes the trip shorter for him.

I should imagine a great many of your people feel that way.

I would never ever have the idea to use fox as a news source for anything that happens in Europe, hell, not even for anything that happens outside their studios.
In Germany, the major news sources did a crappy job, even when regarding that the news were confusing and contradicting. The German "24h news channels" preferred to show old documentations the whole day...
I relied on aftenposten and tv2 - they did a pretty good job, no hasty speculations and quick updates when stuff was reported wrong - which is unavoidable.

Me neither.

I did not know that American teenagers are forbidden to participate in political activities, thanks to Beck's eternal wisdom we now know.
I would love to arrange a meeting of this dritthead with the relatives of the people who were on Utøya ...

At least our media did something right. They waited until it was official. There was no talk of islamic terror.

so he will have a big problem with GOPyoungguns and youth councildemocrats then.

Having read the news, I can't say I envy Breivik's lawyer, Lippestad. So he has to* defend a massmurderer and act as his public voice for the media and the people. Gee, what could be easier?

*)As I've understood it, Breivik himself requested Lippestad to defend him and he was obliged to do so. At least today, according to Finnish news, he has stated that he doesn't understand why Breivik chose him. Doesn't sound like a volunteer.
