According to the Chicago Tribune report, 21 years is the maximum sentence possible under Norwegian law. It also says, "His release, however, can be put off indefinitely should he still pose a threat to a liberal society left traumatized by his bomb and shooting rampage last July." So from the sound of it, this could still end up being a life sentence.
Is anyone here from Norway? I'm curious about reasons for the the 21-year limit.

I know the USA's judicial system is messed up, but I'm glad it's not that messed up.
I can't last forever because hiding away in an embassy has its limits too.
But then one could describe that in itself a new type of incarceration.
I am not sure I believe his story anyway.
Anthing can be made up.
Who is to say this is not just a masquerade to get attention?
it may never try
but when it does it sigh
it is just that
good

So who was the man who made a speech from the balcony of the Ecuadoran embassy just a few days ago and that was shown on TV channels around the world?

Norwegian prisons are not as rough as Swedish prisons where no chocolate mint is put on your pillow each morning and the yoga classes are not as well organized.
Emil LOL I see I have upset the apple cart.
Would you like to tell me what the answer to this post should be?

That's a lesson to us all. Engage cacian and beware!
I suppose it's possible but I get the feeling that it would be like trying to explain the first law of thermodynamics to a Mongolian who doesn't speak English.

Ack, partial pressures
I forget, so back to the news:
Police killed 34 workers on strike from a platinum mine in Marikana, South Africa. “We are aware,” said an officer of the London-based company that owns the mine, “that it will take some time for some trust to be regained.”

Uhhhh...
But many wise and noble minded individuals have stated in prior threads, that the law should not be used to punish but to rehabilitate, because desiring punishment for punishments sake is so uncivilized.
Well, I haven't. All I've said is that there shouldn't be a death penalty. Life in a small, cramped cell? Definitely.
