Is this rightwing killer sane?

​

Confessed mass-murderer Anders Behring Breivik should be declared sane and allowed to take responsibility for his actions, his lawyer told a Norwegian court on Friday, rebutting the prosecution request for him to be ruled criminally insane.

Breivik has confessed to killing 77 people in a shooting and bombing rampage last July. If judged to be insane, he would likely be committed to a mental institution instead of a prison.

"Breivik wishes to be punished for his actions - that is, to be treated as criminally sane by the court," Defense counsel Geir Lippestad said.

"If we look at the basic human rights and take into account that the defendant has a political project - to see his actions as an expression of illness is to take away a basic human right, the right to take responsibility for one's own actions," Lippestad said.

In Norway's worst peacetime massacre, Breivik on July 22 first detonated a bomb outside government headquarters in Oslo, killing eight people, then systematically gunned down 69 people, many of them teenagers, at a summer camp run by the ruling Labor Party on the island of Utoeya.

What is 'sane'? When someone I knew heard that the defendant in a case was planning to 'accuse' the plaintiff of insanity, the plaintiff went straight to his doctor. The doctor asked him where his local supermarket was, how much change he should get from a purchase, who the current prime minister was and could he do his own cooking if necessary.
I'll bet your president doesn't know where his supermarket is!
So what is sane? Is 'insane' deviant behaviour? Who says what is deviant. Catch 22.
You killed those people because you were insane.
I wasn't insane.
You killed those people because you thought you were sane......
I was/am sane.
If you say you are sane then you must be mad!
Better just to sit under this giant mushroom and count each others toes.

Yet another idiotic one-sided poll.

That said, it looks like this killer is anxious to meet his maker.

You could have voted "no".

Aren't all Christians anxious to meet their Maker?

Not really. All criminals are not sane, nor are they all insane.

Not with innocent blood on our hands. This dude will be in for a rude awakening.

So you don't think this one is sane? Or don't you think he's a criminal?

Not with innocent blood on our hands.

Weren't the people he killed liberals?

This dude will be in for a rude awakening.

Why?

Why?

1. I think he's a confessed killer.

2. He killed people who apparently did not pose an immediate threat to him.

3. Because murder is a violation of commandment from God.

Won't Jesus forgive him? Haven't you?

2. He killed people who apparently did not pose an immediate threat to him.

So multiculturalism, liberalism and Islamic immigration aren't threats?

3. Because murder is a violation of commandment from God.

Is killing in defense of your culture "a violation of a (sic) commandment from God"

Breivik, 33, rejected prosecutors' assertion that he is insane.

He demanded to be set free, saying his actions "were preventive attacks to defend the indigenous Norwegian people" and vowed that he would be exonerated by history.

Defense lawyer Geir Lippestad had tried to prove to the court that Breivik's claims of being a resistance fighter in a struggle to protect Norway and Europe from being colonized by Muslims are not delusional, but part of a political view shared by other right-wing extremists.

"The ends justify the means. You don't understand this if you don't understand the culture of right-wing extremists."

So.... wouldn't that suggest he had risen from the dead? Am I wrong or did someone else do that? It's nice to kmow you are so sure of yourself. Do you have interesting conversations with rocks too?
