Justice Norwegian Style

There will be no justice for this victim.

Anders Behring Breivik murdered 77 people.

In court, he said: “I would have done it again.”

One of the judges on the Breivik panel said that “the death penalty is the only just thing to do in this case.”

This judge was immediately removed from the case.

Breivik is not insane.

But Norwegian justice is.

On July 25, 2011, in the aftermath of the massacre in Norway Seraphic Secret observed:

Anders Behring Breivik is an evil man—Seraphic Secret recognizes good and evil—who, according to Norwegian law, can look forward to a spectacular show trial, and then the enviable comforts of a Norwegian prison for the maximum sentence of, I believe, 21 years, which works out to about 82 days per life.

There is no death penalty possible for this human monster, because Norway is, um, civilized.

So Breivik will be released when he’s about 52 years old.

This is nothing less than the triumph of evil and the enabling of evil by a naive state whose fate, I believe, is to be consumed in the next fifty years, by Caliphate Muslims—not, mind you, by some mythical right wing Christian conspiracy dreamed up for the convenience of the politically correct left.

Comment Rules


Seraphic Secret is private property, that's right, it's an extension of our home, and as such, Karen and I have instituted two Seraphic Rules and we ask commentors to act respectfully.

  1. No profanity.
  2. No Israel bashing. We debate, we discuss, we are respectful. You know what Israel bashing is. The world is full of it. Seraphic Secret is one of the few places in the world that will not tolerate this form of anti-Semitism.

That's it. Break either of these rules and you will be banned.

    Peter Hitchens article on the death penalty is worth reading:

    The modern Europeans sure have a warped sense of justice.
    Well any generalization is wrong and that judge was an exception – but so many view us as “barbaric” for wanting a death penalty yet a man commits mass murder – says he’d do it again – and somehow it is barbaric for wanting him executed. 
     
    I think of the Italians setting free the terrorist Abu Abbas. There’s other examples…
     
    And they think our values are distorted.

    Come on people

    Lets not get caught up in silly Scandinavian stereotypes. The judge in question carelessly made a statement on Facebook that Breivik should get the death penalty. He was dismissed, as would any judge in any country with a functioning judiciary. Robert, you’re wrong to imply it’s an example of liberal outrage at the suggestion of the death penalty.

    As for the 21 years thing. It’s not going to happen. There is a life (meaning without the possability of parole) option in Norway which will obviously apply in this case. I really hope I do not read any more of these anti Norweigan platitudes on Seraphic Secret. It is unbecoming of the esteemed author and his learned readers.

      Ted:

      A life sentence is not justice. It is a crime against humanity.

    Breivik can go free when he reaches middle age but I’m sure they would be happy to use the death penalty if they could just get George Bush or Don Rumsfeld into court for their evil waterboarding of those innocent and misunderstood muslims. 

    Europeans know their priorities and we Americans should learn from our wise and experienced betters on the other side of the Atlantic. Or at least until we need to save their behinds in another war.

      It is not patriotic or manly to brag about the shameful, unlawful practice of torture that the BushCheney regime signed off on. As if shameful and unlawful weren’t enough they were also unfruitful. They got nothing for their illegal activities. These two have brought shame to our country starting with the war they lied us into. It is nothing to joke or gloat about. It was a time of sadness.
