Norwegian right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik

This coward had to spend 16 hours per day playing a video game in order to "train" to kill a bunch of vacationing kids and now claims he isn't insane? Wow.

And my apologies to insane people.

‘I am not a psychiatric case,’ Breivik tells court

Norwegian right-wing extremist Anders Behring Breivik, who is on trial for killing 77 people last July, insisted to an Oslo court Friday that he is sane.

“I am not a psychiatric case,” Breivik told the court when questioned by a lawyer for the plaintiffs about his understanding of “empathy”, insisting “I am criminally sane.”

1. He's just using this trial as his soapbox

[SHRED]

2. Why are they letting this happen?

Seems to me that:

A. he is admittedly guilty
B. he is allowed to go way off and spout his hate

3. Court precedings are different over there

So he has a lot of leeway to speak until the verdict comes in...

4. As I understand it, they refuse to broadcast his testimony, but reporters are there and free to

report on what he says. The rest of the trial is broadcast publicly.

He has stated that he either wants to be acquitted (self-defense against the actions of liberal multiculturalist and pro-immigration media and governments) or executed (apparently so that he can become a martyr). Norway doesn't have the death penalty and he has admitted the crime so neither of those - "liberty or death" - is likely to happen. This all seems to be about proving whether he is criminally insane or not.
