21yrs
for killing 77 people
whats that about 3 months in prison for each person ..
It's hard to believe that there are judicial systems with an even greater limp wristed attitude to sentencing than our own
Somebody I know got done for drunken driving in Norway. Persistent offender. He used to do 2 weeks in jail and 2 weeks on the rig in Norway, alternating till the end of his sentence.....It's hard to believe that there are judicial systems with an even greater limp wristed attitude to sentencing than our own
Surely he'll have to spend the rest of his natural banged up. What a stupid sentence and quite insulting to the families of the victims.

So there could be some truth in this article then

Quite good facilities too. Complete with gym.
He got the maximum legal sentence allowed.
There are many very easy and legal ways to prevent his release at any time under Norwegian law.
I personally don't see him ever getting released.
Yes, despite the "softer" conditions, I think the bottom line, in this case in particular, will be down to the protection of the public.
"Is European right-wing extremism on the rise, particularly in Scandinavia? Why has this happened?
First of all, there is definitely a rise in extreme movements. How do we know? Because it has been documented by the police forces from the various countries in Scandinavia, the Norwegian police have certainly mentioned a rise in extreme activity.
The reasons for this rise are because of a perceived encroachment of Islam specifically, and more generally, the encroachment upon the cultural and political institutions by immigrants who are deemed not to have assimilated or integrated properly in these societies.
Have there been signs before now that right-wing extremism is bubbling over?
One of the signs which has allowed such extremism to come to the fore has been the legitimisation of more conservative policies and political groups in Northern Europe. And one of those is the emergence of the Danish People’s Party as a political force and certainly the rise of its leader Pia Kjćrsgaard. Of course, she herself would not justify acts of violence but there is no doubt the cultural climate has been created that would allow acts of violence, potentially, to take place."

Cheers!
He drank an amazing amount. Several pints of beer at lunch time daily and virtually 10 pints a night every day of the week. And as skinny as a rake.... some "rigmarole!" (Or should that
Cheers!
Wish I was skinny as a rake
Mind you I'm getting losing weight and waist inches to the extent that my trousers are far too big now.
Need to tighten my belt a few 'holes'.
Thinkin of getting some red braces
I last saw him a few years back and was amazed he was still alive....Wish I was skinny as a rake

I've never been a lunchtime drinker ( or in fact a daytime drinker at all)I last saw him a few years back and was amazed he was still alive....
and I certainly couldn't drink 10 pints of beer a night, even if I could afford it
I had my annual 'MOT' last week and will get all the results next week.
My blood test involved 4 'draws' .... I hate it!!
One is specifically for liver function .... I may let you know.
If I don't you can suspect the worst.

Yep, and despite the huge number of 'needle work' I had to go through during my travelling career, I never actually felt comfortable with the 'jabs' and always had to lie down and go through my mental routine.
You can image my retort when the nurse would say ' don't be a worried it's only a little prick'

Sorry for the off-topic lastlid
Nice to have some diversionary fun sometimes
Peter,
Nice to have some diversionary fun sometimeswith you ... that is why I sometimes intersperse my posts with those (hopefully not too infuriating) puns of mine - like the one in #14 above
- where appropriate.
Peter,... it's de rigeur
Yes, I reckon that sums up the situation.
