Breivik gets 21 years

[derspiess]

Year - a norwegian prison year is 8 months. Yes, norwegian prisoners get vacation days. And, willy mays style, they get released for weekend visits to family and often for christmas.

SAY HEY

[Jacob]

Eh, no...

I appreciate you breaking it down further, but I don't see anything you said that contradicted what I said; you only expanded it.

[DGuller]

Formally he gets a life sentence but that has been normalized to 21 years.

What does this mean?

When you get sentenced to a life sentence you actually get sentenced to a 21 year sentence.

Damn, I thought you people lived longer then that.

It's a dog life in Norwegia.

You were not wrong you just answered a question about norwegian "life" imprisonment with the answer to a question about what "storage" was.

Time has some good photos of a Norwegian prison.  http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1989083,00.html  Pretty nice.

That's awesome.

"Cowboy just like Outlaw Yosey Vales, jes?"

I've never tried Willie Mays-style, btw.  Does it involve "over the shoulder" somehow?

[Viking]

I see where I fucked up.

Willie Horton, not Willie Mays

   I had no idea what Willie Mays style was.

See, in Scandiweenia it's often a good idea to commit a serious crime just to improve your standard of living.

I don't think what you saw in those pictures represents an increase in standard of living for most Norwegians.

This is why Norway is such a crime ridden society.

Yeah, for the majority of inmates it's probably a good thing; might help then change their ways without brutalising them further and engendering or worsening mental illnesses.

Though, probably for the hardened criminal it won't much change their way of life back in the outside world.

[Josephus]

Of course he probably doesn't want to get out in 21 years time. He beleives by then Norway will be part of one big Eurabia and the Moslem warlords will have him stoned to death by Sharia court anyways.

No that is why almost all our criminals are immigrants (note I am an immigrant, but not criminal) and criminals come from all over the eastern bloc to commit crimes here and don't fear conviction because sentences are lenient, prison is lenient and politicians regularly kick foreign prisoners back to their home countries.

Strangely enough Lithuania et.al. repeatedly offer to take our lithuanian prisoners and stick them in lithuanian prisons for the duration of the sentence but we can't.. human rights and what not. That is why Mullah Krekar freely walks our streets cuz Iraq would almost certainly torture him and probably execute him if we sent him to his deserved fate.
