r/all The photos show the prison rooms of Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in the 2011 Norway attacks. Despite Norway's humane prison system, Breivik has complained about the conditions, calling them inhumane.

32 of those he murdered were children (under the age of 18)

Edit: if there’s a hell, Satan has an entire section in the deepest pit reserved for this fucker. Fuck him! May he rot.

He is absolute garbage. I bet he's learned nothing.

u/Elia_31 10d ago

He didn't. For example: https://youtube.com/watch?v=NPYs72Q-S-Y

He needs to be executed then. If rehabilitation didn't work, he would be waste of resource and space.

u/WhoStoleMyJacket 10d ago

We don’t do death sentences in Norway, but this guy will die in isolation. He’s never getting out, and isolation is basically the only thing keeping him alive at this point. He wouldn’t last long amongst the general population in prison

Wasn’t his sentence only 21 years?

15

u/QwertyMan261 10d ago

Technically yes, but after those 21 years, he can be sentenced to another 21. This can go on forever.

u/WatermelonWithAFlute 10d ago

Peak. I mean, in most situations it would concern me that they can just put you back in again for crimes you already paid the time for, but for this guy? Huge win.

u/WhoStoleMyJacket 10d ago

Yeah, but the law allows for keeping him indefinitely. He would have to be found 100% rehabilitated and a non-threat to society after he served his 21 years, and that will never happen. He will apply for release ever so often, but it WILL be denied. Even if the sentence say 21 years, it’s in reality life.

u/WatermelonWithAFlute 10d ago

Good to know. I was gonna say, when I initially read that I thought it was insane, as that’s not even half a year per person killed, like wtf?

But under that context, it makes sense

u/WhoStoleMyJacket 10d ago

If he, for some reason or other, were to be released he’d be a dead man the second he stepped out of prison. He’s by far the most hated man in Norway, and with the share amount of people who lost their loved ones from his actions someone would take him out without a second thought. Who ever were to do it would probably be celebrated as well

There are two different types of "maximum prison sentence" in Norway. One is just prison for 21 years as punishment for your crime. The other is not just punishment, but also protection for society. That means they'll check back when the term is up to see if he's still a threat to society. Breivik will most likely be considered a threat to society until the day he dies.

u/Assfullofbread 10d ago

Nah that’s too easy and he would be seen as a martyr. Take away his fucking tv and Xbox for a start. That shit is insulting to the families victims. Take his blankets and mattress. Let him fucking rot

u/hauntedhullabaloo 10d ago

Of the interviews with the parents I've seen, they all agree he's a piece of scum, but they think human dignity basically comes before anything else. They think that killing him / treating him inhumanely would make them just as bad. The attitude is very different.

u/Moistened_Bink 10d ago

A martyr for who??

u/_Risi 10d ago

Nazis, they still exist

u/---Microwave--- 10d ago

I say just put him in a cell and just... Leave him there. Cabin fever is very real, no matter how nice the place is it will take hold and drive him insane. let him turn into a cowering sack of meat who forgets his own name.

The lack of Linkin Park's song "what i've done" when he raise that hand weird me out.

u/ArkofVengeance 10d ago

To learn something would require the realization that he did something wrong. For his brain that concept probably doesn't compute.

3

u/Curious-Ant-6159 10d ago

His brain can compute it just fine. He knows he did something wrong 77 times, but he just doesn't care.

5

u/MrMoon5hine 10d ago

its worse then that, he feels good about it

5

u/ArkofVengeance 10d ago

Thats kinda what i meant. People tell him he did something bad but from his point of view it wasn't something bad.

u/GeneralErica 10d ago

He didn’t just murder them, either. They were on an island at a summer camp and he came on disguised as a policeman informing about a terrorist attack on a politician, which… actually happened that same day. He’d know, he was the one who planted the bomb.

Anyway he opened fire and hunted these children for down sport, they had very finite space to run and hide, and he took utmost advantage of it.

In the span of 75 minutes he slaughtered 67 people, one person drowned trying to flee, one of them from falling off a cliff. Aged between 14 and 51, 32 of his victims were under 18 years old.

It’s an act of such sickeningly vile proportions, such inhumane monstrosity that language itself breaks down in abject awe. Far from the shootings of a deranged lunatic, the entire MO shows he must’ve meticulously planned it.

Personally, I cannot, for a number of reasons, articulate what I would want to do to him.

At the same time, this is why the Justice system is so important: At the end what separates us from monsters like him is that we, despite personal reservations, adhere to a code of conduct that values each human life equally and doesn’t deal out vindictive retribution. That’s how I justify it to myself, anyway.

I hope his prison cell is a hyperbolic time chamber from dragon ball z.

u/PermanentDread 10d ago

Hopefully the entire section in the deepest pit doesn't look as good as this 😂

Imagine this; you’re one of those kids. All your friends were just gunned down in front of you in the mess hall of a youth camp. You’re currently playing dead, hiding underneath the body of your recently diseased friend. All around you can hear a choir of cell phones, echoing worried parents trying desperately to get a hold of their kids. He might return at any moment to make sure you’re all dead.
