Unarmed Teen Shooting: Is Norwegian Law to Blame?

[Coito ergo sum]

Anders Breivik claims acted in self defense, and faces a maximum of 21 years in prison for killing 77 people: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-17724535

I thought that was a sick joke when I first read it, that he was claiming self-defense. But then I saw that Norwegian law allows some sort of pre-emptive self-defensive strike of some shit
Also, twenty-one years maximum?!

[Coito ergo sum]

Maybe this ought to provoke a rethinking of Norwegian self-defense laws. No civilized country would have such a regime....

Yes, nordic laws are just as wacky as Florida. You can kill as many people as you like and serve 20, then come out, kill 100 more, serve another 100.

Geezzz my good god!!! I thought the Norweigans were the most peaceful society on Earth! Anyone watch "Lilyhammer"? funny as hell. It takes place in a small city in Norway.

[Coito ergo sum]

I've been to Lillehammer, among other places in Norway, Home of Giants.

I meant another 20 years.

watch the movie....it's hillarious.

After he testifies against a Mafia boss, ex-gangster Frank Tagliano enters the witness protection program and asks to be sent to Norway. Despite the peaceful surroundings, it's not long before Frank strays from the straight and narrow.

Too much peace in any community is always a bad sign. Are humans not primates with all those primitve urges for dominance and control?

Yea, if you notice some of the most horrific murders take place in small towns in USA and everybody is 'SCHOCKED' that it happend there, that nobody locked their doors, that it's soooo damn peaceful......every single time, they always say, "I don't know how it could happen here" we're a small community and we all look out for each other etc......

make me sick...with their goodness!

I bet he will get the maximums sentence, and they will manoeuver so that when he goes out, he will either be exiled to an island in the Lofoten, where the closest neighbors will be a military base and nobody else within a few hundred kilometers, or there will be a white van with burly, whited dressed drivers waiting for him.

No rethinking... the guy can claim self defence.
I can also sue the French and English states for the lands confiscated from my ancestors and for compensation for the wealth I should have inherited but actually didn't.

Well, they ask "how can it happen here?" because for the previous living memory nothing like that had happened there. They don't say that sort of thing in a big city, because there is a lot more violence and crime on a daily basis.

No, it's just that there is less crime in the little towns. The people are basically the same.

Acting "ghetto" isn't a crime, and they use things to get high because some percentage of any population, more or less, seeks out substances to get high. It doesn't matter whether they act all "ghetto" or not.

What are you babbling about?
