    Breivik judged sane

    No-one 'sane' would do something like that IMO. Means his maximum sentence is 21 years, that's less than 100 days per victim.

    He'd have to be sane to create, prepare and execute a plan on that scale.

    It's not as if someone put everything in place and just told him to pull the trigger.

      Raises an interesting point about sanity.
      Plenty of sociopaths who I would say are not quite "sane" in high positions of power in politics and business.
      Blair isn't quite sane, have you seen his mad staring eyes?
      Hard Brexit now!

        In 1943 some British chaps climbed aboard their bomber planes and burned to death 30,000 men, women and children in Hamburg.

        Were they heroes or criminals? Were they sane or insane?

        Everything is relative. The terrorists of today are the statesmen and heroes of tomorrow.

          Keeping calm. Keeping invoicing.

            The unfortunate bit is that he wanted to be declared sane so that he could claim it was a political act, not one of a madman.

            In that sense he has won.

              He's sane, but crazy.

                Amazing - but I am pleased they've judged him sane, although his actions were insane.

                Without wanting to sound perverse, the positive I took out of watching these trials when I was on the bench, was that we are going to learn so much about the minds of people like this.

                He's been totally open and forthcoming with his thoughts (other than his knights templar stuff) and hopefully criminologists are on a gold mine with him - I want the trial to drag on and on to get as much intel as we can.

                  Sane, brave heroes. They were trying to end a self-styled total war started by Germany.
                  The people ultimately responsible for the death of those Germans was Hitler and the Nazi party.

                    ... and the people who voted for them.
