"attacks were preemptive to protect Norway. I acted to defend my country and my people. I ask that I be acquitted."

Is he mad or is he sane with very far fetching beliefs?

[anneasquith]

sane, and very evil. imo

[ummmm]

Sane and very disillusioned.

[McMouse]

No idea about sanity or otherwise. However he's going away for a long time.

[ummmm]

The only emotion he's shown is when they played one of his own videos.

[daffy654]

Psychopathic sociopath..... but legally sane and fully aware of what he was doing.

-The only emotion he's shown is when they played one of his own videos.

One of the traits of a psychopath. But there are many.

Anne, you say sane but evil. Can you be one but not the other?

[Sqad]

I have no idea whether he is mad or sane, but I have a certain amount of sympathy for his feelings of Islamisation of Norway.

His method though was unjustifiable.

[anneasquith]

id say , yes

[pdq1]

Pure evil!

[sandyRoe]

He's mad and bad, in my opinion.

[VHG]

While you have to be mad to do what he did, I do think there are a lot of people who feel we in Europe are "under attack".

In the last few years we have had terrorist bombs in the UK and other European cities, we have had terrorist attacks on planes thwarted by the secret service, we have had "hate preachers" on our streets saying how they want to kill the Queen, our prime Minister, policemen etc.

We have people distributing "hate" anti-West material, selling "hate" anti-West videos and so on.

We have already had a situation in Italy with Italian people attacking Roma gypsy camps and setting fire to tents. The Italian government have been "busing" people back to Romania and so on.

You could see a situation in 10 or 20 years time where there could be a "civil war" in a European country between the indiginous population and some of the immigrant population.

Here is what happened in Italy in 2008

Some of the fault of this also lies with the misguided politicians who, as per the Blair/Brown regime, embarked on a programme of multi culturism. This brreds discontent as we as humans are tribal whether we admit it or not. To remove someones identity so fast, especially for idealism, is a big mistake.

I am in no way condoning what he did, he has taken a very warped view on how to deal with it and it is beyond beleif and utterly terrible. I dont think he is insane at all, he was very methodical and his statement to the court today shows he has a full load.

Authorities across the West need to take a long hard look at what has been done by the authorities and ensure that Islam extremism is conqured and in no way pampered. Places like th eFinsbuy mosque and the likes of Mr Hook need to be dealt with harshly and positivley. To do this we need to get out of the HRA and tell Europe to go away.... or it will happen here.

He has had 2 in - depth psychiatric reports since capture and incarceration. First report suggested he was insane, displaying symptoms of paranoid schizophrenia. A later report though has arrived at a different conclusion, that he is legally sane.

Definitely a sociopath, showing little empathy with people in general and his victims in particular. Delusional, his own sense of importance exaggerated in his own eyes, and in attempting to justify his killing spree as "self defence". A Walter Mitty character that acted out violent, delusional tendencies.

If you think that evil is characterised by a conscious and deliberate act to violate conventional moral codes and to intentionally hurt or harm other individuals, then yes, his act was evil.

His beliefs are extremist and misguided. Only xenophobes, sociopaths or those of little intelligence could find any common ground with his goals.

// ...the Blair/Brown regime, embarked on a programme of multi culturism. //

I think multiculturalism started long before Blair/Brown and has continued in the two years since they left office.

We are not under attack. Our identity is not being Eroded. Anyone who put these myths forward as justification or sympathy for this evil mass murder is morally bankrupt.

Breivik knew exactly what he was doing.

[sp1814]

People who attempt to justify what this piece of filth did, are beneath contempt.

So into which group would you fit me into following the comments in my post?

[LazyGun]

@ Sqad - Havent seen your posts.You will have to ask yourself which category you think you fit into, if you feel you have any common ground with Breivik..................

[DTCwordfan]

Isnt that obvious, sqad? - lol

[sandyRoe]

As you live abroad you can't be a Xenophobe. You're clearly an intelligent man. That leaves 'sociopath'. :-)
