Breivik ruled sane, sent to prison.

[JerseySafety]

Confessed Norway mass killer Anders Behring Breivik has been ruled not insane and sentenced to 21 years in prison with a minimum term of ten years for the murder of 77 people.
Breivik, a 33-year-old Norwegian on a mission to expel Muslims from Europe, set off a car bomb that killed eight people outside government headquarters in Oslo and he then killed 69 others in a shooting rampage on Utoya Island, where young members of the governing Labour Party had gathered for their annual summer camp.
Reading the ruling, Judge Wenche Elisabeth Arntzen handed down a sentence of "preventive detention'' of at least 10 years and a maximum of 21 years. However, such sentences can be extended under Norwegian law as long as an inmate is considered dangerous.
Breivik flashed a clenched-fist salute as he appeared in an Oslo court to receive his judgement.
Wearing a dark suit and sporting a thin beard, Breivik smirked as he walked in to the court room and raised his fist.
Breivik says he would appeal an insanity ruling but accept a prison term.

Makes me feel sick tbh, killing 77 people is insane. Feel sorry for families of the deceased.

We will look back on this day in a decade's time when he is released... 10 years for killing 77 people. Absolute rubbish in my eyes, yet still rather interesting how a country's ruling can differ so significantly.

[Josh]

I highly doubt he will be released after 10 years but still, the fact that he could be after that short period of time surprises me.

[JerseySafety]

Yeah, someone last year or the year before got 14 years or something for murdering 1 person and this guy gets like nothing for 77 people. Thought Norway had a good justice system.

Norway has an interesting system and don't they have one of the lowest crime rates as well? I'm not sure if it is Norway but one of the other countries in that area that has a prison that looks nothing like a prison at all and looks like a modern big house sort of speak.

Ignore that it mentions him might be sending him to this prison - I don't think that's been said but just look at the photos

Anyway,

I feel sorry for the friends and families and I doubt he will be released after so many years but who knows.

[Zak]

He'll be considered dangerous forever, and therefore will never be released. I'm pretty sure of that

Wow if he goes there jesus. Talk about getting off lightly - may be in there for like 20 years but thats nothing compared to most prisons. Definitely feel for the families now.

Hopefully @Zak; if he is released a lot of people are going to be angry.

I totally disagree - I am very happy that he was charged as a sane man; if he was charged as insane, he would be in a lovely hostel with television, internet, great food and round the clock care. He does not deserve any luxuries. 10 years is prison is not enough, either.

What happened to the death sentence? :L Thats what he deserves.

Very, very glad he was declared sane. He got the maximum of 21 years, so there's not muchelse they could have done really, it was the best outcome from a horrible situation.
