I heard them say, "Norway will never be the same"

What a tragedy and I can't imagine how they are going to deal with this. This guy was a psychopath and a sociopath. Those kinds really don't deserve another chance. This is not mental illness but a totally deviant personality, nothing can help them.

We have no death penalty in Canada either, and we have mass murderers sitting in jail on the tax payers dollar, and hearings for parole the parents of the pedophiliac killers have to attend to make sure they don't get released. It is just WRONG. I hope Norway can recover, but the families never will.

When the story first broke it contained a part about girl that was behind the rock that he stood on while he shot. Was quite chilling and awesome all at the same time. She said she was so close she could hear him breath - being behind him even tho quite scary as was very close probably saved her life

When is this going to end?

I am so tired of hearing about others murdering others. There is no reason for it and worse when it is children. I can somewhat understand adults being murdered because let's face not everyone is pleasant and fights do break out.

But he was planing this for so long and executed it. That really bothers me.

And those poor children. They never had a chance. Time stopped for them. Yet this man is going to go on living. I hope his cell is fill with photos of those poor children as well as hate letters from the families. And videos. Anything to make him so insane that he straightens up and pleas for death so he can go where he belongs and away from the earth where no one needs him.

Is it wrong that my anger makes me a evil punisher?

can't imagine planning that for 9 years. There are a lot of better things to plan for over that distance of time.

in Norway you only get 21 years & then you are let out.When he does get out someone will take a pop shot at him so he won't live for long,that's if someone doesn't kill him in jail beforehand.He'll get what he deserves in the end.
