That is good now he can go to prison instead of the nut house or even fry the killer
I heard his max sentence for all this will be 21 years. Great justice.
Right. A racist nutcase who thinks he has saved Norway from the perils of Islam by murdering 70 plus non-Muslim children is not insane.
If insanity is simply defined by not accepting reality, then I have a 2000 year old story to tell you.
Only two thousand years? You are forgetting the Old Testament.
Jonathan Kay on the Anders Breivik verdict: Not ‘conservative,’ just crazy | Full Comment | National Post"At first, Breivik’s mental-health issues expressed themselves as mere anti-social behaviour: He would lock himself in his room for days a time, doing nothing but playing the sword-and-sorcery-themed online computer game World of Warcraft. But then his behaviour got more bizarre. Howard Hughes-like, he became germopohic, and began to wear a face mask, fixate on spiders, and avoid any contact with his mother. He believed he was being followed and spied on. Eventually, he embraced the delusion that he’d been deputized by a mysterious secret society to lead the forces of Christendom in a war being waged for the future of humankind. He even made a homemade military uniform that reflected his “commander” status in this secret society.
When Breivik paraded this outfit in front of his mother, she was horrified. But she still did not understand what had happened to her son’s mind. Had she pursued institutional treatment for Anders at that point, the massacre might have been prevented. Schizophrenia cannot be cured. But it can be medicated.
“The [mother] says in conclusion that when she looks back, she thinks that [her son] must have been insane, considering how different he became,” the original psych experts wrote. “She cries and says: You do not believe that such things can happen. I still don’t quite believe it.”
Breivik imagined that slaughtering a group of defenseless teenagers would earn him the status of “National Grand Master Knight Commander” in the purified society that would emerge from the war he was leading. He would kill the Norwegian royal family in 2020, and proclaim himself King of Norway, with the title “Sigurd II.” One of his edicts would be to create baby factories staffed by third world women implanted with eggs extracted by force from Norwegians."
He's not insane, just extremely fascist.

Breivik declares all of this proudly, and believes his plan is perfectly rational. To this day, he vigorously argues that he is of sound mind: “To send a political activist to a mental hospital is more sadistic and evil than to kill him! It is a fate worse than death.”
Read the piece.
Big deal.
Anyone can make up a bunch of stuff to make themselves look insane.
It's pretty telling that you will take a mass murderer's statement at face value to imply that he is insane, simply because it jives with your ideological point of view. Can't wait to see that reduced sentence he 'deserves' to get, because he simply couldn't resist those delusions of grandeur.
