Anders Behring Breivik Trial Begins

[2010kaiser]

The trial of the murderer of 77 Norwegians began today in Oslo. Brevik only showed emotion once, while a video he made prior to the massacre was shown.
Brevik's justification for his bomb and gun campaign is one of "preventing the Muslimisation of western Europe" [sic]
So what do you guys think. What's your opinion on his actions and his "cause". Do you have an opinion.

I will keep this short.

Another country without the death penalty.

I despair as to the logic of keeping “things” like him alive and we or the governments of the world pay for the privilege.

Why

[srijantje]

i don't agree,an eye for an eye is not the way to go

[Leanne]

The death penalty is tempting, but it's really about vengeance and not justice.

I'm a little saddened that this guy has been found sane actually -- it was clear that he was very upset by the idea that he'd be considered a nutter by posterity, and in my book anything that upsets a mass murderer is a good thing. Horrendous crime aside, he clearly thought that he was being heroic and deserves celebrity, so the most obvious thing to do would be to ridicule him or ignore him. Banning media attention wouldn't hurt either. A very dark, very lonely, very uncomfortable little hole somewhere wouldn't be a bad idea.

OK Leanne how’s this for a compromise

[Leanne]

Yep, I'm good with that.

Death makes him a martyr, keeping him in a hole makes him a smelly piece of rotting meat -- I know which I think is more fitting for his crimes.

[snilloc]

Leanne with super quick decision making and compromise as we have shown we should be employed by governments of the world for decisive thinking

Put him in a dark hole, huh? No thanks I don't want him in our Pit.
