Norwegian Mass Murderer Anders Breivik Sentenced To 21 Years In Jail
Breivik, responsible for the deaths of 77 people, was convicted of terrorism and premeditated murder today, receiving 21 years imprisonment.
1. Last August, Anders Breivik murdered 77 people at a youth camp on Utoeya Island, 25 miles northwest of Oslo, Norway.
2. A 10-week trial ended with a verdict today, ruling that Breivik was not insane and must serve the maximum jail term.
3. Norway does not have a death penalty. Their steepest sentence is 21 years with the possibility of indefinite extension.
4. Breivik was sentenced to the full 21 years, though he may be imprisoned longer if he is still considered a danger to society.
5. Judge Wenche Elisabeth Arntzen said that the court considered Breivik to be suffering from “narcissistic personality characteristics,” but that he was not insane.
6. He will live out his sentence in an 86-square-foot cell in Ila Detention and Security Prison, outside of Oslo.
7. After his sentence was given Breivik raised his fist in a defiant right wing salute.

Davine S. 8 months agoHe will never be let out of prison. Saying “you are sentenced to a gazillion years” is moot, since (a) he’s crazy so he probably doesn’t give a shit and (b) he won’t live that long anyway. Yes, the symbolism of it only being labelled “21-years-to-infinity” is unsatisfying, but justice is not about vengeance, it’s about protecting society from his twisted schemes; that’s already happening, and it will continue to happen. It’s far better to have him genuinely live out his days behind bars - leaving the community safer than before - than to see an innocent man imprisoned indefinitely or a mentally-challenged person executed. That stuff happens far too often; I’d choose “slightly unsatisfying semantics in the description of a sentence” over “abhorrent miscarriage of justice resulting in wrongful execution”, any day of the week.

Things a T-Rex does 8 months agoI am sure the people of Norway react the same shock and disgust when America executes someone with the IQ of a child, different country, different rules, different culture.

LionessFeathers 8 months agoSick, sick man. Rot away, I doubt you’ll get released after those 21 years since you’re obviously non-repentant. We can expect an extention, I’m sure. Those poor kids.
