In July 2011, the anti-Muslim neo-Nazi killed eight with a car bomb in Oslo and then gunned down 69, most of them teenagers, at a Labour Party youth camp on Utoeya island.

    I gain nothing from his suffering.

    I would, I want to see him suffer.

    I think Brevik also proved to other murderers that’s it’s okay, you can kill as many people as you want and at the end of the day you’ll be given good food, comfortable shelter, and entertainment. My life is no better than Brevik’s right now. It’s worse. I have concerns to deal with that he has staff to handle. I might as well do like him and improve my life. In fact I think you’ll get a better prison if you commit mass murder than if you “just” violently disable someone. I know the one Brevik is in is far more warm and comfortable than the ones in my local area.

      I am sorry that you are in such a situation. I wish better for you.

      There is a major difference however, you have at least the opportunity for a better life. (How real that opportunity is, is another matter and depends on a lot of factors).

      A prisoner is at the mercy of the state without any option to change the circumstances.

      I also highly doubt people would commit atrocities to end up in prison.

      We do however have a strong welfare state in Norway that tries to remedy the worst issues with poverty for the individual, so that everyone have a certain minimum.

      Edited 5 min later: If unneccesarilly cruel and harsh punishments worked, I guess USA wouldn’t have a lot of prisoners?
