They put Anders Breivik in prison.
What they never actually did was explain what exactly he did wrong.
Mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik gave a Nazi salute on Tuesday as he arrivedin court for a parole hearing that will decide if he should be released after spending more than a decade behind bars.
Breivik, a far-right extremist, killed 77 people in Norway’s worst peacetime atrocity in July 2011. He killed eight with a car bomb in Oslo and then gunned down 69, most of them teenagers, at a Labour Party youth camp.
With a shaven head and dressed in a dark suit, Breivik made a white supremacist sign with his fingers before raising his right arm in a Nazi salute to signal his far-right ideology as he entered the court.
He also carried signs, printed in English, including one that said “Stop your genocide against our white nations” and “Nazi-Civil-War”.
…
Addressing the court, Breivik blamed his crimes on online radicalisation by a leaderless network of far-right extremists, which he said had motivated his attacks.
“I was brainwashed,” Breivik said.
“The order was… to re-establish the Third Reich. And how to do that is up to each soldier,” he said.
Breivik, who described himself as a parliamentary candidate, also said that he would continue his fight for white supremacy and Nazi dominance, albeit via peaceful means.
Tuesday’s hearing was Breivik’s first public appearance since 2017, when he also displayed Nazi salutes in court.
Breivik, 42, is serving Norway’s maximum sentence of 21 years, which can be extended indefinitely if he is deemed a continued threat to society.
My whole philosophy is “free my niggas out the system.”
This is especially true with someone like Breivik, where the court totally failed to explain what he had done wrong, and just put him in prison anyway.
Doing a Nazi salute is bad optics, of course. But it doesn’t really matter, because Norway has maximum sentences, and they’re going to have to let him out in 2031.
Of course, they will probably change the rules and be like “sorry, you have to stay in prison, and also, you can’t have a next gen gaming console.” Not that you can even play WoW on a console.
I wonder if Breivik is up to date with the latest advancements in the field of white genocide.
The saddest thing is that the old tricks are still in use.
