Agreed John. We should also not make it a thread to say fvck off to Kenny. |

Interesting -- the murderer shows that he was critical of the way Islam treated homosexuals, and seems to be pro-homosexual -- I wonder if was motivated by that?
Are you cheering, Kenny, knowing that he might have killed so many in the name of tolerance and diversity and for his pro-homosexual agenda? |

Yes, it would. However, if he doesn't do so, let's not continue this. |

Kenny, please stop making this forum into a platform for the freak. Several others have already expressed their desire to prevent exactly what you just did. |

You think a comment like this is "more information."
You've got to be referencing something else. |

What this man did can serve as a wake up call for all of us. Intolerance of diversity is an ugly thing and we ALL must fight in ourselves. I think is it a primitive tendency that's in our DNA left over from back when it meant survival of our group for limited resources. |

Yeah, he was intolerant of the Muslims for their intolerance against homosexuals. So I guess that should be a wake up call to you about being more tolerant of people who are against homosexuals. And freemasons of course. |

Yes. Officially, preventive custody is no "punishment", which means that he or she has some additional rights while in jail (such as: wearing ones own clothes, or being located in a separate part of the jail), but he can be locked up indefinitely (subject to review of the custody every two years). The details will differ in Norway, but I believe they have a similar system. "Danger", of course, means danger when he/she would be released - which means that there are few 85 year old detainees with bad eyesight. |

Thanks for the clarification, Klaus. I see your point about an elderly terrorist (though I'm sure the truly devoted ones would/could still pose a danger to society. But I find it interesting that this approach is basically what the US does, but backwards. In the US, a conviction will earn a sentence which can be, upon review by a parole board, lessened, once the board decides that there's no further danger to society. It would seem that in your system, the board has the option of prolonging the sentence, once the time has passed for the "official" incarceration to end. The "right" to wear non-prison clothing doesn't make it any less a prison. It would seem to me that this has the potential for being capricious, because one never really *knows* if he might be found to be a danger, and then have to spend another two years upon the whim of a bureaucrat. Under the US system, one knows that he's going to spend ten years (let's say), and can *hope* that he'll get out early. Different sides of the mirror, I suppose. |

I find it interesting that, within hours of the attack, at least one jihadist movement took credit for the horror. WHat fundamentalist Christian group took credit? It's easy to slam those with whom you disagree and paint everyone with the same broad brush. Just as those who, at first, speculated that this was a job done by jihadists, were wrong, the glee with which the press is reporting that Breivik was supposedly a fundamentalist Christian is obvious. The same media that "tut-tut'ed" us with the Fort Hood shootings when the question of religion was brought up is now waving the banner of Christian fundamentalism and saying that there's a problem. Please. |

And, conversely, some of the same people that are now saying that this guy was a lone gunman were also saying 'It's time to do something about all the muslims until they get their house in order' when they thought that he was a jihadist. It flows in both directions. |

We have the device to relase a prisoner earlier, too - I think that's complementary to preventive custody. In fact, I believe that a prisoner could in principle even be released ahead of schedule while at the same time being put in preventive custody [no idea whether this happens in practice, though]. Preventive custody is meant to prevent "ticking bombs" running around. It is mostly employed for sexual offenders, where it is considered very likely that somebody would, say, be raped and killed if the prisoner is released. How do you deal with these cases in the US? (I guess the answer is that these guys would get a life-time/death penalty anyway and hence the problem does not arise). It is a deliberate restriction of the freedom of the detainee to save the public. It is only used very sparingly (I think almost only in homicide cases), and only if the detainee has already demonstrated that he can be very harmful to society. Hence I believe that it is acceptable, given the alternative of releasing ticking bombs. |

So we're intolerant of a guy shooting people because he's intolerant of the immigration of some muslims who are intolerant of homosexuals and non-muslims who are intolerant of a guy shooting people because he's intolerant of the immigration of some muslims who are intolerant of homosexuals and non-muslims who are intolerant of a guy shooting people because he's intolerant of the immigration of some muslims who are intolerant of homosexuals and non-muslims who are intolerant of a guy shooting people because he's intolerant of the immigration of some muslims who are intolerant of homosexuals and non-muslims who are intolerant of a guy shooting people because he's intolerant of the immigration of some muslims who are intolerant of homosexuals and non-muslims who are intolerant of....
