Why would we even need a Bubba when we have names like Balder and Thor?

You might want to remove Balder. That just conjures up imagery of a hairless men.

OK change that to Torbjørn then which directly translates to thorbear

Well, this makes things more interesting.

Btw - how many more innocent children does he have to kill before he's labeled a "terrorist" and not simply a "gunman."

Norway gunman plotted to kill Obama in 2009 Washington: Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik planned to assassinate US President Barack Obama when he visited the country to collect his Nobel Prize in 2009.

Breivik, who admitted carrying out twin attacks in Oslo on 22 July 2011, had plotted to attack the Nobel award ceremony with a car bomb.

He told police that he had earlier planned to bomb the Nobel ceremony as a symbolic target with millions watching across the world, but he scrapped the plan, as security would be too tight to get the bomb close enough to Oslo City Hall where the award was presented.

According to Norwegian paper, Dabladet, Breivik told police that an attack on the Nobel ceremony would also kill too few ‘traitors’.

Breivik also said that while Obama was a high profile US target, it would serve his nationalist goals better to target his attacks closer to home, The Daily Mail reports.

Breivik, 32, has confessed to setting off a bomb that ripped through Oslo's government district, killing eight people, then opening fire at the summer camp of the governing Labor Party's youth wing, killing another sixty-nine.

His trial is set to begin on April 16. If declared mentally fit and convicted of terrorism, Breivik would face up to 21 years in prison or an alternative custody arrangement that could keep him behind bars indefinitely.

He will probably never go free. But with that said, that is why the death penalty is good idea. Now the state has to care for him for the rest of his natural days.

I am pro death penalty in theory...

But admittedly, I get nervous that the government can carry it out. And that juries are composed of your average citizen... Which can lead to a bunch of idiots. Juries arent infallible.

I'm not sure what the correct answer is.

But in theory, I agree, some criminals have committed heinous enough crimes to deserve tge death penalty.

It's understandable in questionable cases, but when a fool is caught in the act there shouldn't even be a question.

At least one!

Geez, you actually found him.

let's be honest here if you have to go to prison and get that list of names and you're told to pick a cell mate and have nothing but names to go on you're going to Bubba every time

Would jail even hold those guys?

 

[Sean50Lee]

Why don't we just get it over with and kill the guy!

 

[TheKey]

Indefinitely extending a sentence because of a "threat to society" sounds like a slippery slope.

I find it amazing how many people believe they think they should have it their way than a sovereign country where people vote for the type of government and laws they wish to have.

when you think those laws are stupid you should say so

And anyone that thinks a 21 year sentence for someone that killed 77 people in cold blood is adequate is a MORON.

And any system that thinks so is STUPID.

The difference between a 21 year "forvaring" sentence in Norway and a 7000 year sentence in the US is just the wording, both are essentially life sentences.

aren't you just being anti-Norwegian for commenting on the decisions made by courts or govts in that country?

America, **** yeah! Comin' again, to save the mutha***** day, yeah!

I don't think at it's core their system is much different than ours, with both being flawed. It can't be said that America is superior or Norway is inferior. They both determine to waste time, resources and effort on unquestionable murderers.

I wouldn't advocate a troglodyte system of hand chopping and stoning in a pit of manure, but there's no gain to be had in housing what is virtually a waste of space.

except Bumfard doesn't like it when someone who isn't American questions American laws, court decisions etc, then you are told to shut up or that you are anti-American even if you think the law in question is wrong or stupid.
