Trial against Breivik

[JDC]

Why not? The BBC is basically the standard for unbiased news reporting.

I have a certain distrust for all government-affiliated / owned news channels, it's obvious the government tells just about all of them to report and not to report.

They haven't written about it in international papers, and nobody in the US knows about this case, because it's a f**king stupid one and they know it.

There are NO news about it in the US, because they are told NOT to post it.

Because they don't get front paper publicity, I'm pretty sure many US citizens only read what is widely publicized and not what happened in the local level.

Dude, chill please.

I'm sorry but his punishment is absolute bullshit, I sometimes criticize the UK for having such minor criminal punishments and say 'It should be more like the US's system' but seeing that, Americas law system is just fucking psychotic.

I know, lol.

Wow. Do you happen to be an American?

Post Merge: April 26, 2012, 01:55:21 pmAnyhow, I'm so fucking proud to be a Norwegian right now. Just on the call of a facebook event, 40 000 people gathered outside the Labour party building to sing a well known Norwegian song for the lost, the heroes and the remaining. This was totally uncalled for, and a lot of our politicians called the day off at work to join us.

It kinda sucks that Breivik's actions are actually in some way helping the labour party to gain support, to be honest.

Yes, and even I'm surprised and unhappy about how the situation was handled with the confused Norwegians. 7 years is too excessive, and the guy who punched him instead of asking him what's the hell is going on should be arrested.

Politics, it's all politics, even if the guy helping you get support is someone who roams the countryside looking for children to kill. :redface:

Politics and religion, the two main reasons the human race has problems.  :roll:

Religion and politics are two sides of the same coin; getting someone to follow what you believe.

That in itself is a part of humans, hence humanity being the only reason why humanity has problems.

Maybe so, but not all humans are so stuck to religion and politics.  :roll:

You do not need religion or politics to fight over something either, remove those two and humanity will fight over something else, such as food (aren't they already?) or race, such as this topic is related to.

Racism is not necessarily politically motivated.

I don't know what he think with..

You are actually wrong.. The Norwegian labour party falls on the polls, and the Norwegian Progress Party (which Breivik was in the youth party earlier in his life) and Conservative Party has majority on the polls at this moment. So the 22nd of July effect, is not there anymore..

His brain, like everyone else

Check out the member statistics of AUF after the incident. Of course, every youth party had a positive increase in members after the incident, but AUF got the most. I am sure we could handle the whole situation a lot better without all the information we've got so far. Yet, there's eight more weeks go to before the court case is done. I can't wait.
