40,000 Norwegians gathered outside the court where Brevik is on trial today and showed us all the way. They stood together in the pouring rain to sing the song that Brevik hates.

I'm sure I would have found the article you had a link to interesting--if it had been in English! Unfortunately, I don't read Norwegian, and was unable to find a way to switch it to English. Some sites do give a list of language changing links, but this one apparently doesn't. I even clicked the "Hjelp" link and was unable to find any help on the help page. Typing in a question on how to change it to English didn't help, either. It just called up some unrelated articles that contained some of the words in my sentence.
However, getting back to Brevik, according to your post message, the crowd was deliberately getting his goat by singing a song he didn't like.--COOL! It's non violent, and legal to do so, and he deserves it. He also deserves the death penalty. Do they have that in Norway? |

What browser are you using? Chromium translated it just fine for me.

| The song is about tolerance and diversity and is a song Norwegian children sing in nursery. He said in court earlier this week that it was marxist propoganda being used to brainwash Norwegian children. I think this is Norway's way of showing their defiance of his idiology. |

Maybe. But singing the equivalent of Kumbaya is not going to bring any of the dead back.

Norway does not have the death penalty. Belarus is the only European country that still has it (and even they have used it only once recently, despite being led by "Europe's last dictator").

I think that guy deserves neither the mercy (as in being put out of your misery) nor the claim to be a martyr that the death penalty would grant him. Let him die the slow death, in prison, with zero chance of parole. Ever. |

He claims he doesn't care if he's sent to prison, because the multi-culturalism he hates so much has made his country like a prison to him anyway, so it's irrelevant to him if he's inside or out.

Frankly, he wouldn't give a [insert expletive here] about being put to death either.
Indeed, the neo-Nazis would gain a martyr if he were put to death. That alone is sufficient
reason not to execute him, by hanging or any other means. |
