How are you any more or less at risk than you are now? Your current neighbors may well be any of those people who have yet to have been caught, or just haven't committed those crimes yet.

No, you probably can't, but you can attempt to rectify his way of thinking, or at least mitigate it. You brought up the point of those who are in prison he is with; this is why the rehabilitation is important, because if you can reduce the extremism, you will lessen his impact on fellow inmates.

It is, I can agree. I cannot (and will not) defend the man or his actions, obviously.

Thanks, you are 100% correct. Eventually it becomes an eye for an eye for an eye ad infinitum.

You don't rehabilitate to the point of release, let's face it, he's never getting out... BUT... you can rehabilitate to mitigate the extremism of his beliefs as he presents them to others who share them. His views are not something that any civilized society wants spread, so he can be rehabilitated to the point where…

Smart move. Wait for the batch of games like Destiny to get out there, see how they're handling the technical hurdles, and do the same. I'm sure people would love to be able to congregate in certain areas, and have larger "boss" fights in the Borderlands world.

That's great! Thanks for that! I really can't understand the dehumanization of criminals in the USA, or really the quick reaction to kill in general.

Not if you cut the cable :P

You're right, it's not, and that's why he'll likely never be released. I'm not saying he can be, but, many other murderers can be. This type of mass-murder isn't exactly common in Norway (nor anywhere for that matter) and their system isn't exactly equipped to deal with it. I don't think anywhere is, outside of the…

There is no argument.

I didn't say he can be rehabilitated, nor did I say he should be. He will likely never be released. My comments are more in regards to the overall rehabilitation program structure in Nordic Europe. May have been unclear, English isn't my first language.

You missed the point entirely. It is a democracy, and the majority of the people feel that execution is not the proper course of action in a civilized society, as such, whoever is in charge would likely share this belief.

Not everyone can be. He will likely never get out, nor will Brevik, although each are eligible for release at some point. Barnardo can apply in 6 years or so, but it will likely be denied, and Brevik in 20 years will likely just have another 5 tacked on each time he's coming up for release.

Sure, but often people miss the whole point. It's not about having someone pay the consequence for abusing their freedoms, but not abusing them in the first place. The focus seems to be "shoot criminals; it's my right" instead of tackling the underlying issues that push them to crime in the first place, whatever…

Well I didn't specifically say "enjoy", but it's a very different mentality in the Nordic world. They don't fight fire with fire, because in the end it doesn't accomplish anything. Does it bring his victims back? Would it bring piece to their families? It's a tough call, but I believe many don't feel that killing…

You wouldn't run Norway, because you wouldn't be elected. You don't share the views their population does. This is how they chose to treat criminals in their country, and it's quite effective based on their crime statistics.

I'm not defending him, or any of those convicted in the least; I'm explaining the rationale behind their rehabilitation system.

Ah there we go, yes, lifers as well, that's the mentality I was looking for.

No, it's not fine. One of the fundamental pillars of America is the freedom to express religion, and acceptance of people from anywhere, not a white christian fascist regime, which coincidentally is what Brevik was fighting for.

There's nothing to debate, everyone knows it's a disaster lol
