The only thing I can say is thank goodness we don't have any nuts like that in the US.With a defiant closed-fist salute, a right-wing fanatic admitted Monday to a bomb-and-shooting massacre that killed 77 people in Norway but pleaded not guilty to criminal charges, saying he was acting in self-defense.
On the first day of his long-awaited trial, Anders Behring Breivik rejected the authority of the court as it sought to assign responsibility for the July 22 attacks that shocked Norway and jolted the image of terrorism in Europe.
Dressed in a dark suit and sporting a thin beard, Breivik smiled as a guard removed his handcuffs in the crowded court room. The 33-year-old then flashed his salute before shaking hands with prosecutors and court officials.
"I don't recognize Norwegian courts because you get your mandate from the Norwegian political parties who support multiculturalism," Breivik said in his first comments to the court.
Breivik has said the attacks were necessary to protect Norway from being taken over by Muslims.
"I admit to the acts, but not criminal guilt," he told the court, insisting he had acted in self-defense.
What's your opinion? Please leave a comment.
You're being sarcastic, right? We had Timothy McVeigh. Of course, he used fertilizer and diesel fuel, but the end result was the same. I take it that Norway has no death penalty. There may be some justice in putting Breivik in a mental institution. I can think of no harsher punishment.
ReplyDeleteGreg - did you see a recent report about the prisons in Norway? Brevik will basically be staying at a nice hotel.
DeleteI did see that. This is why a mental hospital would be a good punishment. Put him in the hands of mental health "professionals" who will tear his mind apart with drugs and "counseling."
DeleteOh, so basically he should be sent to the camp where he shot all of the kids?
DeleteI was being sarcastic. I know that in the US there are many Anders Breiviks. You want to make it esay for them to get guns legally.
ReplyDeleteYou do keep saying that, but it's not true. I want good citizens to have the guns that they want. But Breivik did what he did in a country with much stronger gun control than what America has. This should tell you something.
DeleteBrevik is happy being a neo-nazi martyr. Fuck him.

ReplyDeleteI think somebody has had some unpleasant experience with mental health professionals, so he condemns the profession. Golly, that sounds like someone who would be ready to take everybody's gunz away from them if some of them were bad gun owners.
