Anders Behring Breivik
Written by Homer
Throughout the history of mankind, admirable deeds and tragic sacrifices have been made in the name of patriotism. We know there’s a reason why Russians call their country Mother Russia, why the 4th of July is a national holiday in the United States, and why Inter Milan and AS Roma soccer fans forget their differences for ninety minutes every time Italy is playing. For some, patriotism is a very clearly defined concept, and is symbolized by a uniform. For others, it’s more than that, and the definition stretches beyond just defending your land. But we all know homesickness when we feel it, and that sense of home, of belonging, is at the root of all patriotism, and the desire to defend what we hold close to our hearts.
However, for as long as man has existed, there have also been individuals more than willing to use patriotism as nothing more than an excuse to commit heinous acts of evil. Persons who justify their actions by waving a flag, thinking this will be enough to distract everyone from the truth – that they have just wiped their diarrhea-smeared ass with that flag, and now are trying to fling their shit all over everybody else. Anders Behring Breivik belongs to this category.
On the 22nd of July 2011 at 15:25 a bomb went off in central Oslo, the capital city of Norway, right outside the building complex housing, among others, the Norwegian Ministry of Justice. Just minutes before, Breivik had parked the van containing the bomb as close to the Ministry as he dared, and had made his way to the getaway car he’d left in the vicinity earlier. Eight people were killed in the blast, and many more were injured. But it could have been a lot worse.
July is one of the most popular vacation-months, and because of this the ministry was not operating at its full capacity. In addition, office hours in the summer months tend to favor the “early to work, early to leave” principle, which meant that many people had already left for home. At the time there was some speculation regarding the timing, and one theory was that Breivik had been planning for a bigger death-toll, but had apparently been stuck in traffic and thus delayed, ensuring that his bomb didn’t quite get the impact he was hoping for.
Not that this derailed him in any way. He might have been a little late, but he had a plan and he was sticking to it. As the citizens of Oslo were in shock, and as the media were frantically speculating who was behind this terrorist attack (al-Quaida being one of the favorite suspects), Breivik made his way towards the island of Utoeya. This was where the major political party of Norway, Arbeiderpartiet (directly translated this means the Worker’s Party, which to American ears probably sounds like a bunch of commies, but in fact they are more akin to your Democratic Party) had its annual youth camp.
Somewhere along the way he changed into a policeman’s uniform, and at around five in the afternoon he drove up to the ferry, M/S Thorbjoern, which would take him to the island. He showed an authentic-looking police ID to the ferry master, who had heard on the radio about the bombing incident in Oslo, and who had no reason to suspect Breivik’s story that he was there to inform the youngsters about the bombing and to ensure their safety.
At 17:17 he arrived on Utoeya, introduced himself as a policeman, and asked the group leaders to gather everyone in the main cafeteria on the island so that everyone could hear what he had to say. As the youths were arriving into the cafeteria, they heard the first shots, and as they looked out through the main entrance they saw what appeared to be a policeman approaching them. Once Breivik arrived at the building, he asked the youths to approach him, and when they did, he revealed his true self in a manner that beggars belief. With no hint of hesitation, and with a calm and determined expression on his face, Breivik took out his 9 mm Glock and his Ruger M14 automatic rifle and started shooting. At that range, he was hardly likely to miss, and according to eyewitness reports he at first shot indiscriminately as many as he could, and as people started running away in a total panic he calmly reloaded, even as he was telling people not to run, then slowly started to walk among the fallen, making sure they were dead. Some he prodded with his rifle, others he poked with his foot. If he was rewarded with any sign of movement, he took careful aim and shot his target in the head.
I will never forget the interview I saw on TV with one of the survivors, who was wounded in that initial shooting in the cafeteria, and who survived by pretending to be dead. What really stuck in my mind was when she described Breivik’s voice and words as she lay there on the floor. Even as he was shooting people he was shouting for those still alive, those trying to flee, to stay where they were, and not to be afraid as he was not going to hurt them. There was no malice, no hate, in his voice. He was like a robot, saying one thing but contradicting his own words through his actions.
Soon he was the only one left standing in the room, among the bodies of the dead. All in all, thirteen people lost their lives in the shooting in that cafeteria. For Breivik, this was probably a satisfactory start, if not a good one. But he didn’t panic. He knew he had plenty of time to spill even more blood, and that his victims had nowhere to go. The first casualties on Utoeya, the shots the youths in the cafeteria had heard as they were waiting for the policeman he pretended to be, had been the ferry master and the woman who’d remained behind to escort him to the cafeteria, and the only way to and from the island was effectively closed. This meant that the only way off the island was to swim, and that the police, once they were alerted, would have to find an alternative way to reach the island. In other words, he had every reason to feel confident. He was the only armed person on the island, he had two powerful allies in shock and surprise, and he would meet little or no resistance from his victims, who were completely unprepared for the evil they were about to encounter.
Inside the cafeteria he made a final inspection of the carnage, and headed outside to hunt for more enemies of the state. Those who hadn’t made it to the meeting on time, who had only heard the shots, were now approaching a scene that was not only horrifying but also extremely confusing – people were running in every direction, and even as they wondered why, they saw what they thought was a police officer emerge from the house. The scene made no sense, and not knowing what to make of it several of them froze in place.
To Breivik, this made them perfect targets, and with no hesitation he took aim and fired. Again, as people realized the truth of what was happening and began to flee, he told his victims not to be afraid, and that everything would be okay if they just surrendered. But by this time there was no-one who believed him anymore. There had been too much bloodshed for his words to have any credibility at all.
At 17:27 the police were notified about shots fired on Utoeya. At first the bombing and the shootings were treated as two separate issues. It was only later that the connection was discovered. But at the time, no-one knew what the hell was happening. Nor were the police – the real ones – convinced that there was only one shooter on Utoeya. A tactical decision was made to wait for more information as well as reinforcements before making any move. There was only one access route to the island, and the police had to assume that it would be booby-trapped. Utoeya was a political target after all, and the thought that it was nothing more than a slaughterhouse, that by giving Breivik time they played straight into his hand, didn’t enter anyone’s mind until it was far too late.
As the police were debating what to do – for which they received a fair amount of criticism later – Breivik continued his killing spree. He didn’t pick his targets in any way; he just shot at anything that moved. His objective was to kill everyone on that island, except himself, and as soon as he saw an object that resembled a human being, he fired. And he was nothing if not methodical in his madness. He had studied the island before making his attack, and he had a good idea of where people would try to hide, and where they would run.
He followed his victims like the monster he was, taking his time, reloading when necessary, and kept up a monologue about how everything would be so much better for everyone if those who had been sentenced to die would stop hiding and simply accept their fate. This is one of the creepiest aspects of the eyewitness accounts – how Breivik, even as he was murdering people in full view of everyone else, showed no emotion and kept trying to convince those who were hiding to give up by claiming he was not going to hurt them.
Many of the victims were found on the trail that went around the island, familiarly called the path of love (it’s a bad translation, but you get the idea). Breivik made one full revolution of this pathway, before concentrating on the shoreline, where he shot at youngsters trying to swim to safety. Most of the victims were teenagers; the youngest had just turned fourteen.
Finally, at 18:25, almost an hour after they received the first emergency call, the Norwegian SWAT-team landed on Utoeya. Minutes later, when faced with opposition of the armed kind and the possibility that he might actually get hurt, Breivik immediately surrendered, knowing that as long as he kept his hands visible and didn’t make any sudden moves, his life was in no danger. He was taken into custody, and the search for survivors could begin. By that time, he had killed 69 and wounded 60 people on Utoeya, most of them teenagers.
All in all, on July 22nd 2011, Breivik murdered 77 men, women and children, and physically wounded another 158. Those are the easy numbers. What is harder to calculate is the pain inflicted on the relatives and friends of the victims. And even as the truth of what he had done began to sink in, and the fact that the terrorist responsible for this insane and dastardly atrocity was a Norwegian man acting all alone, the question of why resonated loudly not only in Norway, but all over the world.
Breivik himself was more than willing to provide an answer. In his mind, he was a true crusader, fighting for the future of Norway, the perfect soldier just doing his patriotic duty. In the months and years leading up to the culmination of his plans, he had taken a book from the Adolf Hitler school of self-justification and had written his very own manifesto (or, rather, collected, as many of the ideas presented within were variations on old themes), 1500 pages of hate and racism describing how his beloved country was under attack from the growing hordes of Muslims in Europe, and how he had to do something about it before it was too late. He also called the ruling political party, Arbeiderpartiet, traitors, as they – according to him – did not act in the best interest of Norway.
From the very beginning he claimed that he had done nothing wrong. He admitted to the deed, but did not accept it being described as an act of terror or as murder. He was convinced that once he had presented his reasons for doing what he did, every patriotic Norwegian would nod their heads in understanding and hail him as the hero he claimed to be, and thus conclude that he had committed no crime, only fulfilled his role as a savior of Norway. When his presentation met with resistance and he received little to no sympathy from either the courts, the media or the Norwegian people – who, among many other things, could not understand why he had murdered Norwegian citizens in his war against Muslims – he gradually changed his position and claimed that sometimes tragic sacrifices were necessary for the greater good of the nation.
Funny, but I distinctly recall reading a quote by Adolf Hitler saying something in a similar vein.
Immediately after he was caught, the police and prosecutor got busy collecting the evidence and building up a case. Breivik was so convinced of himself (and, as a layman, I cannot help but wonder if a perverse part of him was also proud) that he more than happily helped. On the 13th of August 2011 the police investigators returned with Breivik to the island of Utoeya for a re-creation of that fateful day when he murdered 69 teenagers and their adult minders. Completely calm, and showing no emotion what so ever, Breivik walked the investigators through the events, showing them where and how he had murdered his victims. All in all it took a little over eight hours. Not once did Breivik break down, or show any kind of remorse. I kindly ask you to think about that for a while. Then remind yourselves that the vast majority of his victims were teenagers.
On the 5th of March 2012 Breivik was formally charged with committing an act of terror and with the murder of 77 people. On the 16th of April, the trial began. Now, the trial itself was full of drama and I could write an entire book about it, but if you have read this far, you are probably thinking “when the fuck is this fucking story going to end?” so I will try to keep it short, and focus on the one thing that has stolen most of the attention – the issue regarding his sanity. By the time the trial was well underway, he had undergone two separate psychological evaluations, and the opinions were divided. The first study found him legally insane. The second one contradicted the first one by concluding that, during the time of the attacks, Breivik was legally sane. The keyword here is “legally”, and what it denotes is the question whether or not Breivik was fully aware of what he was doing when committing the murders. The dispute was important, because it determined what kind of sentence Breivik would receive.
If declared legally insane, he was looking at incarceration in an asylum for an indefinite amount of time. Theoretically, this alternative contained the risk that he might one day be set free, assuming a doctor were to change the diagnosis and declare Breivik rehabilitated, though the odds of that happening were extremely small. On the other hand, if he were to be deemed legally sane, he would receive the maximum penalty under Norwegian law and spend 21 years in prison, though this could be extended for a 5-year period if he, after serving 21 years, were still considered a danger to society. The five-year extension can be renewed indefinitely, which means that in this case, he would spend the rest of his life behind bars.
Not surprisingly, Breivik vehemently denied that he’s in any way insane. He has, through his manifesto, built up a fantasy of himself as an intellectual thinker and a crusader against the threat of Islam, and if deemed legally insane, this fantasy would crumble to pieces. For Breivik, this was unacceptable, and from the very beginning his sanity was in question, he told the court that he would appeal the verdict if he were declared legally insane. But where there’s a stick, there’s also usually a carrot. If the court were to find him legally sane, Breivik said, he would accept the verdict and go to prison without any fuss.
This case once again highlights the differences between legalese and English, and I would like to point out that “legally sane” is NOT the same as “sane”. Sane means you’re playing with a full deck, legally sane means you understand what game you’re playing. In my mind, there is no doubt Breivik was missing all the aces and kings, and most of the queens and knights as well. But to help you make up your own minds whether or not Breivik is a few steps short of a full ladder, here are a few examples of the comments given by him during the trial:
“I have committed the most impressive and civilized attack in Europe since the Second World War.”
“They weren’t innocent children, they were political activists.”
“These deeds are based on kindness, not evil.”
“It was a touching video. It reminded me that my country is dying. That is why I began to cry.” – Note: the only time during the entire trial that Breivik showed any emotion was when a propaganda video, made by Breivik and featuring Breivik, was shown. Pictures of the victims in situ, of the brutality of the attack, elicited at most a tiny smile from Breivik. But when he saw himself on the screen, he began to cry. This was his explanation for it.
“I was born in a prison, and grew up in a prison. A prison where I was not allowed to express my opinions. That prison is Norway.”
“It is as wrong to call me evil as it is to accuse the military leaders of the USA of evildoing during the Second World War. They killed 300 000 innocent people to save millions. It was a good deed, not an evil one, even though it was brutal.”
“I would do it all again.”
There are many more, but I think this will suffice. If you see, in your mind’s eye, a ladder you’d gladly climb, there is nothing I can do but hope you hurt yourself before you hurt someone else.
The trial was formally concluded on the 22nd of June, and on the 24th of August the verdict was in. Judge Wenche Elizabeth Arntzen, one of the five judges presiding over the case, began by saying that the judges were unanimous in their decision, before she read the ruling. Despite the prosecution’s wishes that Breivik would be declared insane, the judges ruled Breivik sane enough to be held accountable for both the bombing in Oslo and the murders on Utoeya. Upon hearing this, Breivik couldn’t hide the smile of satisfaction that revealed him as the monster he is. This meant he was going to jail, which was exactly what he wanted. And all through the reading of the verdict Breivik looked more than pleased, a self-satisfied smirk playing on his lips.
Convicted of terrorism and premeditated murder, Breivik received a sentence of “preventive detention”, a special prison term for criminals considered dangerous to society, which was set at a minimum of ten years and a maximum of twenty-one, from which the time he’s already been sitting in jail will be deducted. However, as mentioned earlier, these kinds of sentences can be extended for an indefinite period of time, as long as the inmate is considered a continued threat. But this did not seem to bother Breivik in the least. He was going to get his very own trio of cells, isolated from the rest of the inmates, with his very own gym, a TV and – most important of all, and a privilege he would have lost had he been sent to the funny farm – his very own computer with internet access.
My first reaction was, what the fuck? And I’ll admit, I was a little disappointed that he got exactly what he wanted. Then I heard the collective sigh of relief all the way from Norway, and started to read the comments from the survivors of Utoeya, and the relatives of the victims, who were all pleased with the verdict. And you know what? I changed my mind. Had the judges listened to the prosecution and ruled Breivik legally insane, they would have been forced to go through the procedure of a whole new trial, with all that entails. But in declaring him legally sane, they ensured that this sordid tale received its final chapter, and that Breivik received a punishment that most Norwegians seem to be happy with.
More than anything, the words of one of the survivors of that horrible day, Tore Sinding Bekkedal, struck a chord with me: “I think it was a proper verdict. I have a hard time matching the diagnosis of him being insane, and especially of him suffering from paranoid schizophrenia, with what actually happened. He was completely aware of what he was doing.”
Now the survivors and the relatives of the victims can finally move on, safe in the knowledge that Breivik is locked away. But in this case I cannot help but think that it is a pity that Norway does not have the death-penalty. That would have been the surest way to ensure the elimination of one monster that will remain a thorn in every Norwegian’s side for as long as he lives.
How can I be so sure of this?
Well, the first hint that Breivik is still at war came once the verdict was read, and he was given the word. He began by once again stating that he does not consider the verdict – or the entire trial – to be legal, as he does not recognize the current administration as the rightful representatives of Norway, but that he accepts his punishment and will not appeal the verdict. Notice how he softens the blow of that comment by showing some mock humility at the end? He still thinks he did nothing wrong, and personally I am convinced he will never change his mind about this.
The second hint – and this is the clincher – came when he continued by saying he would like to end with an apology:
“I would like to apologize to all militant nationalists in Norway and in Europe for not having killed more.”
Yes, I’m happy with the verdict. But only because I have nothing but respect and admiration for the Norwegian people, who have weathered an unprecedented tragedy with bravery, dignity and a show of true patriotism, the kind you can be proud of. But did Breivik get what he deserved? No. Not even close. And because there is no punishment sufficient enough in this life, I can only hope there is a hell, and that there is a very special and fitting place reserved for him down there.

First things first- great write-up Homer. The whole thing was terrifying, even just reading it. I cannot imagine the horror everyone, especially those teens, felt on that day. How many of them looked at the police who had arrived to save them as a possible new terror, because of what this fucker did?
Now, moving on. What the fuck, Norway. I now many in Norway think the American penal system is barbaric, but 21 years? Really? I know he’ll probably never see the outside of a prison again, but had he pulled that shit in the good ol’ USA we would have made sure his life was short and not very sweet. Do the world a favor, ship his ass over here, we’ll ‘take care’ of him real nice-like.
I really can’t think of much more of a coherent response. I want to start ranting and raving, I want to use every profanity I know and invent a few more, but I can’t bring myself to it. The families of the victims deserve better than for me to give him any more attention.
Thanks, KHR. I’ll admit it was a tough one to write. When I began I had a hard time keeping my emotions in check, and the four-letter words flourished. Then I realized I didn’t need to remind everyone what a sick fuck this guy is, his actions speak for themselves.
As for his prison sentence, I agree, this is a perfect example of a case where the death-penalty is warranted. There was no doubt he was guilty, and all through the trial he showed nothing but disdain for the victims. In fact, he took pride in what he had done, and swore to continue his work. I’m convinced he’s incapable of remorse, and no posse of bible-thumpers foisting Jesus on him will ever be able to change that.
And speaking of his prison sentence, the only good thing is that there is now the possibility that he might have his internet access revoked. Personally, I don’t see why he should even have that right in the first place, but let’s see what happens.
21 years is the hardest prison sentence we have, since we have never had anything like this before. Now, 21 years in this case doesnt mean 21 years. After his time serverd, he will get another five years, and another fiver after that until the day he dies.
The more you know!
and knowing is half the battle.
Now I’ll never get that damn song out of my head! Thanks, Joe. I mean Travis. ;-)
I regret nothing. :]
Is anyone reconsidering the 21 years thing after this? Because the fact that it is the upper limit is crazy.
Not that Ive heard of no. I’m not 100% sure, but i believe that Breivik is the not the first, but one amongst the few whos been sentence to incarsination (not sure if im using that word correctly, but it’s the word closest to what i mean). So atleast there’s an alternative to the ”short” 21 years. Fortunally we don’t see much of these ”heavy” crimes up here in the nordic, but i guess it’s on an uprise, so perhaps the laws will be changed in the future.
And I guess we have a different view on locking people up over here. Im not saying i know alot about the U.S system, but we focus alot on rehabilitation (not saying it works), and also the prisons over here is a strain on the tax payers. I mean, our prison cells are of fricking hotel standard. Breivik is getting a 3-room cell, i mean.. come on.. If they’re gonna lock people up for a life time, why not give them, for example, the romanian prison treatment. Now that’s a punishment I would agree to, rather have them rot in a dark stinking place, than kill them off, since i believe that’s getting off easy for your crime.
Sorry for crappy grammar ;)
A three room cell that’s hotel standard? I may be taking a trip to Norway in the future. I could use a break, and I’m sure there’s something that will only get me a year or so.
I will say that there are penalties in the US I consider unnecessarily harsh (10 years for some pot, anyone?). But at least if someone did this here there’s a good chance the feds would call it terrorism, take over, and shorten their lifespan greatly.
hotel standard might have been pushing it, but they’re nothing like the prison cells in the U.S. I know swedish prison cells are alot more.. ”furnished”, but here’s the layout of Breiviks cell, http://gfx.aftonbladet-cdn.se/image/15018644/837/normal/82fea9143270d/22.BreivikCELL-vit.psd
This is still considered terrorism, but we havent had any crime of terror, so therefore we dont have any suitable punishments for it.
Is that a computer and a treadmill? Holy crap, next to that my dorm room was a jail cell. And I bet he doesn’t have to walk a quarter mile in the snow and ice to get to the nearest cafeteria. I bet Norway could make a few bucks turning the prisons into college campuses and charging rent for these ‘cells’.
Indeed it is, they’re talking about taking away his laptop though, which wasnt connected to the internet of course. He had it so that he could work on a book or whatever.
But yeah, the standard is way too high, screw humanity, these shit-holes (pardonnez mon français) deserves none of it.
Damn. That prison cell looks about the size of my first apartment.
I’m with KHR, I need a fucking vacation. If I go to Norway, what kind of crime can I commit to stay in a cell like that for about 10-12months?
as far as i know, this cell is specificaly made for him, because he’s not allowed any contact with other inmates. a ”normal” cell looks something like this http://gfx.dagbladet.no/pub/artikkel/5/54/541/541708/fengsel_960_1216958063.jpg
FFS, That looks almost as good as my bedroom, except nicer cuz they get TV’s.
FFS, that looks almost as good as my bedroom at home, only nicer because they get TV’s….
OMG, ignore my total post fail….. hahahaha
Bigots are pretty much the worst kind of monsters.
And too often they don’t see themselves as the bigots, which is terrifying.
Good to see Anders Breivik here. He is a psychopath. And yes 21 years is too lenient. Yes, there is prison extension that can be life called forvaring.
Honestly, I’d be terrified to live in a place where locking guys like this up and throwing away the key isn’t an option. There’s too many stupid people out there, and dumber things have happened in the world of justice.
Excellent writing, Homer. I very much enjoy your style. Hope to read more from you in the future.
- Wow and another wow…and for fuck sake….FUCKING WOW.
I am usually very unusually verbose…never often finding myself at a loss for words. I can without fail sum up my thoughts or feelings with some well placed words, and feel safe in the knowledge that I expressed myself properly, and accurately.
I find myself now in the very unfamiliar position of being absolutely without words….
And I can not discern whether that is due to the sheer horror of this story, or, due to the absolute brilliance of the author. – This is without one single doubt such a wonderfully written textual tragedy. – I almost find myself regretful of the praise that I am heaping upon Homer because this story is so beyond my concept of human understanding.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE write more and more and more. I left this site for a while…and this…yes THIS is what has brought me back.
Well done, my friend. Well done !!!! :)
Hi Maelstrom, I missed reading your comments- glad you’re back! And Homer- GREAT story!
So did I, LLt, and so am I. And thank you both. :-)
And Maelstrom, I have a couple of ideas germinating in the back of my mind. I’ll try to make something of them. I’ll keep you posted.
This is a very comprehensive and well-thought-out description and analysis of Breivik’s sickening crimes. Very impressive factual research and superbly written.
Seriously well done, Homer. And thanks.
As for the death penalty thoughts for Breveik, my take on it is this:
I am absolutely opposed to the DP but there is one exception where I believe it was the only practical thing to do: Adolf Eichman. What else, realistically, were Israel to do with him – give him a life sentence (possibly with mandatory Israeli-law periodic parole reviews etc) and have him live in a Spandau-like fortress, a living cancer on the young nation and a target of worship for neo-Nazis in a nation struggling with the beginnings of the decades-long brutality and insecurity of Arab terrorism already?
Nah. Hang him, burn him, dump the ashes in international waters and be done with the POS entirely.
With Breveik, you’d immediately create a martyr for the far-right and neo-nazis should he be faced with a death penalty. He would love that to have been possible – to die forever young and tooled-up like in his photos, in a blaze of political glory by being put to death by his hated government, proving how evil they are etc etc.
The martyr would never grow old, ignored, irrelevant and undignified, never to have to face the disdain and hatred of others every single day for the rest of his life. And to a vain, publicity-addict like him, he’s as good as buried alive now – no audience but guards watching on closed-circuit and the janitor trustees who just somehow always seem to accidentally spill buckets of filthy, chemical laden all water over him and his stuff….
Let the f****r rot.
I love this write-up.
But then the cynical American in me thinks “If this happened here, we would still be waiting for a trial to start. And there would be, like, 3 made-for-tv-movies done by now.”
I am an atheist.
I don’t like Islam.
I want to publicise the Armenian, Assyrian and Greek Genocide.
I want people to know about Islamic war crimes as well.
But I’m not about to start treating Muslims themselves as shit.
I’m not going to murder their alleged “allies”.
All he is showing is that he is no better than the al-Qaeda he so hates.
He must be Becky Fischer’s hero.
If we must best the Islamic empire, we must treat them as humans. We have forgotten that in our alleged “War on Terror”. We have treated terrorists as they deserve, but it is shameful that we do the same with civilians.
Honestly, it´s not better to treat muslim deccently, but think that their religion is some kind of evil. You will just alinate them.
There is no Islamic empire. Islam is a huge religion, covering lots of countries. Being a muslim in Pakistan is not the same as being a muslim in Bosnia. They have different traditions and customs. In some countries they drink alcohol, in some they don´t. In some countries the women wear hijab, in some they don´t.
Why should terrorist be treated like scum? No matter what they did, they are people? We should be better than they are, not lowering ourselves.
Jesus Christ….those poor kids. Imagining my children in this situation is so terrifying that I had to get up and flee the computer terminal.
Norway certainly has it’s own unique form of justice. I would expect more from Vikings

BREIVIK = GOOD GUY!!! HE’S WORTH 100 NAVY SEALS!!!! HE COULD TAKE CARE OF AL QAEDA BY HIMSELF!!!!
Trolls just don’t have the impact they once had, do they?
Man, I get sick and miss all the fun stuff.. Bullshit
PYSIH only updates once every 2 months now?? My life is over :(
It’s because of what happened to poor Max. Hopefully he’s on his way to recovery, and things will pick up.
Hi, what did happen to max? I got hooked on this site just this last November or so.
I once saw a video on Youtube that purported to show a Muslim being rude to an old Danish woman. One of the other viewers posted a really scary comment about wiping out all the Muslims in Europe. I posted my own comment, not in reply to him, jokingly wondering if he might be Anders Breivik. I got a reply from him, basically repeating what he had posted earlier. And he never denied that he was Breivik. I wonder.
Wish I could take care of Lil Anders!!! GREAT JOB HOMER!!!
MAX- praying for you always! MISSING YOU BIG TIME!!! GET WELL!!!
Hello^^ While many people in Norway have lamented that we do not have the death penalty; fortunately or unfortunately for him he commited this crime in Norway and has been tried under Norwegian Law. And as one of the leaders of a big criminal gang said to the papers; death would be a too easy way out for him. Infact, he has instructed members inside and out of prison that if they come across him; that they are not to kill him. Yes they can humiliate him and beat him up, and beat him within an inch of his life, but not take his life, as that is the easy way out.
Besides, he has in effect signed off on his own death anyway. He will never be able to be released; he is too well known now. That’s why he is kept in isolation away from other inmates, as they would jump him the first chance they got. If he is ever released, he will be in trouble the minute he is outside prison as I doubt people will have any qualms about giving him some of his own medicine.
Norwegians are in general pleased with the sane verdict as it means he could be kept away forever, in theory.
When is that plane to Norway leaving? I want me some Norwagian justice.
My fantasy is to be a billionaire with much political power and I bribe the mayor to require all citizens in the city to line up once a year and suck my ass. The tax they will pay me for sucking my ass is one hundred dollars. Each will have the luxury of sucking my ass for five minutes. Any citizen who dares to refuse such a rarefied offer will be publicly guillotined.
HAH! I like that idea…
Didn’t get enough attention the first time, dumbass?
As I said above. Trolls just don’t have the impact they once did. Eh… bored.
YOU MUST BE TALKING ABOUT NYC.
When is this blog going to be up and running again? I think its fantastic, I’ve been reading it for ever. I’ve missed my weekly catch ups. I know max has had some health issues but does that mean its never coming back? Been waiting patiently for it to come back, it’s been too long.
This man was just an ambushing coward.
You don’t punish an attention whore by giving him what he wants. We live in a sad world when it is always the names of the tyrants and murderers
people remember. But rarely the names of any of their victims.
hes hot!
and you obviously have no standards
Travis is hot!!!
If this fucker gets fangirls, you should, too. And, bonus, yours are bound to be much less vapid and troll- like.
I’ve read the compendium. The parts written by him are pure garbage, rants from an high school dropout. The parts NOT written by him made a lot of sense, at least from an European. This scared me a lot. UK is already a muslim infested shithole, the fanatical muslims are doing their best to force sharia law on everyone with the silent approval of the “moderate” muslims and the enthusiastic support of the left. Can somebody be a crazy murderer and still be right?
Every damn time this happens it takes me back to Columbine. d family witnessed the library massacre and almost 14 years later there has been little healing. Everytime somebody massacres any group ,especially children and teens to unbearable pain comes back. All of this is just too much.
Please forgive the misspells . It is meant to say my family survived Columbine. I don’t care how healed some are, most are just now reclaiming their lives. And for what ?
You guys need to do something on Adam Lanza.
More like “You guys need to do SOMEthing.”
I agree with him on one point…Islam is a disease that needs to be eradicated. This is true. But I don’t understand what these kids had to do with any of it.
I agree with the guy on one point… Islam is a disease that needs to be eradicated. But what did these kids have to do with any of that?
Yeah, we heard you the first time.
Aw… religious intolerance wrapped in concerns for children. It’s not just an Islamic problem, and your comment proves that, RG/SW/Whoeverthefuckyouare
NO OTHER RELIGION ON THIS PLANET ADVOCATES & USES VIOLENCE, HATE AND TERROR TO FURTHER ITS AIMS. THAT IS WHY ISLAM IS SO DANGEROUS TO THE WORLD. ALL PEACEFUL & CIVILIZED RELIGIONS, CHRISTIANITY, JEWISH, HINDU, BUDDHIST, SIKH, ZOROASTRIAN, SHINTO, BAHA’I AND OTHERS THAT I CANNOT REMEMBER HAVE TO SETTLE THEIR DIFFERENCES AND UNITE AGAINST THE CANCER CALLED ISLAM WHICH IS THREATENING TO DESTROY CIVILIZATION AS WE KNOW IT ON EARTH!!!!
GUYS. GUYS. GUYS. GUYS. LOOK AT ME. SEE MY MESSAGE ALL IN CAPS? THAT MEANS IT’S IMPORTANT! FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THINGS HOLY PAY ATTENTION TO ME! GUYS? GUYS! /end translation
Although, I did get a bit of a chuckle at Christianity being peaceful. Someone has a bit of a selective memory
But… but… but… I thought the crusades were something that happened on ice (I love Gary Larson).
And the Spanish Inquisition was all an invention of the Monty Python guys. It’s not horrible if it’s fucking funny, right?
Well, it is true I often judge horrible tragedies on their hilarity level.
MAD BOMBER you are an ignorant piece of trash.
CHRISTIANITY IS PEACEFUL!!!!! DID JESUS EVER SAY THAT MURDER & VIOLENCE WERE OK???!!!
probably.
NEVER!!!!!! READ THE NEW TESTAMENT!!!!!!!
nah.
“nah”
– YOU ARE A GODLESS PAGAN!!!! YOU ARE HEADING FOR ETERNAL DAMNATION!!!!
I’m pretty sure we’re all headed for hell. I’m just enjoying the ride, homie
Jesus didn’t. God, on the other hand…
I’d start, but I need to sleep eventually.
“I’m pretty sure we’re all headed for hell. I’m just enjoying the ride, homie”
- WHEN YOU FIND YOURSELF THERE, YOU WILL REGRET THAT STATEMENT!!!!
nah
I GIVE UP!!!!! YOU ARE DOOMED!!! YOU ARE BEYOND REDEMPTION!!!!
Nah.
Don’t worry, Travis. If I’m still gatekeeper when you come down, we’ll be having a party by the River Styx.
I AM HORRIFIED BY THE DISPLAY OF GODLESSNESS HERE!!!!! IT IS OBVIOUS TO ME THAT ALL RELIGIONS ARE MOCKED AND RIDICULED ON THIS SITE!!!!!!
Dude, I love this guy. he’s hysterical
His ALL CAPS usage is quite impressive.
Mad Bomber, how are any of us godless pagans going to be able to sleep, knowing that we’ve horrified you? :-(
Maybe if there was less sleeping and more prayer you’d be less of a godless heathen.
tell em, bomber. drop some truth bombs on some sons of bitches
This animal needs to be put to death. He killed and now, this sick little weasel should get the gas chamber like Ricky Smyrnes- aka Wesley School, B. Alexy-Aunt Nancy is a queer! He probably is like this mass murderer in Scandanavia. I hate him! Oslo Norway is bot safe I guess.
This Sick Pig should become a human pinata and let midgets take swings as he watches! This asshole is a mass murderer that killed lots of innocent children. He and other like him need to be put to death! Ricky Smyrnes of Wesley Spectrum, administrators let him hurt children. Money Pigs should be held responsible for allowing this to go on for 5 plus years. As far as this Oslo Asshole is concerned, just kill him!
Photo of girl with a missing head is gruesome, disgusting, and gory.
they should send him to a bangladeshi or pakistani or turkish jail since he wants to fight Muslims. Turkey is “part” of EU so why not send him to a european federal jail which can land him inside a turkish jail and see his three room holding cell.
I would like to be his warden.
