In July 2011, the anti-Muslim neo-Nazi killed eight with a car bomb in Oslo and then gunned down 69, most of them teenagers, at a Labour Party youth camp on Utoeya island.
Stop giving this loser media attention.
I don’t think most people here understand the Norwegian prison system.
We try to rehabilitate people. Having freedoms taken away is the punishment. Not living conditions. We give people opportunities in prison. We give some of the worst people in prison leave (yes, to leave prison) for hours sometimes, if we belive they will behave. Even though we don’t trust them to integrate fulltime into society yet. We don’t have lifetime in prison, but we have a system for the very worst offenders in which we can imprison someone for an extended period if necessary. And extend it indefininetly, potentially for life, but they get a chance to convince judges to release them once in a while.
When it comes to the article one shared about PS2 / PS3 complaints, it doesn’t really matter. We are better than him, we give all people, yes even terrible ones, a decent life. Upgrading his console costs nothing compared to the actual cost of having him imprisoned. What does Norwegians gain by witholding something that inexpensive? If he has a worthy life in prison, that’s good. I gain nothing from his suffering. I do however get the satisfaction of knowning that we try not to inflict needless suffering on other humans.
We care about other humans. We imprison to rehabilitate and to protect society until they are rehabilitated. We don’t punish to get revenge. Everyone is supposed to get out at some point.
Recently Norway released someone wrongly convicted and jailed for 20+ years. Imagine if he also had to suffer a needlessly horrible sentencing for that time.
Knowing we don’t have death sentence and that our prisons give the prisoners a somewhat ok life, gives me comfort. That makes me feel that if I or someone I care deeply about was wrongly convicted I or them would not suffer needlessly.
This is the way
I know some politicians who’d argue such prison conditions incentivized poor people to become criminals instead of seeking a job.
That’s more telling for the rest of the countries system.
Absolutely not. I’m not Norwegian, I’m German talking about german politicians.
Well, then you should become jobless and fall into the world of low wage jobs offered by the jobcenter for a while and see how totally non toxic that is. When I became 18 they send me to various institutions, expecting me to write like at least 30 job applications each month, requiring me to apply for Zeitarbeitsfirmen (back then we still had 1€ jobs). Every visit with the ARGE was a meeting with some sadistic asshole that just lived to make other people’s lives miserable, expecting you to stand at their door each day. Maybe you want to say no one in Germany has to be homeless due to our social systems, but that’s just bullshit. Even with the already terrible caveats I’ve said already, the amount of money you get is also just token money that keeps you somewhat afloat. But try living off of that for extended periods of time, experience when all your shit starts to fall apart and you simply cannot afford to replace them. I can absolutely see why people chose to live on the streets, or try to get imprisoned. Because then they don’t have to deal with any of this inhumane bullshit.
I am jobless due to health issues. I’m in the system for six years now. My current administrator wants to see me every three months. I can tell you stories, too, especially about getting hopes up and broken promises by the fading government.
Known psychopath, still psychopath. Unsurprising.
That will probably not help him get a parole.
he may not really be trying to get parole. the request process might be something to break the routine of the day, but he has food, shelter over his head and playstation, outside he would have to work and be looking over his shoulder for the rest of his miserable fucking life.
Breivik wore a dark suit, white shirt and brown tie. Both sides of his head were shaved to form the letter “Z”.
The letter “Z” has been a symbol of support for Russia’s war in Ukraine and Breivik on Tuesday described Russian President Vladimir Putin as “the foremost defender of Europeans globally”.
I also agree. He doesn’t appear to be serious about getting parole …
Well he knows he is not getting one and he is a sociopath, so he can at least have some fun while slowly rotting away…
I agree. This is just to keep his name from being forgotten.
At least this is what a few years later the Kiwis have done and are doing right.
