The trial of the Norwegian terrorist started its second week. Why is it that press and TV descend on us mostly only when something bad has happened.
We are dealing with a person whom most of us cannot understand. He can shoot dozens of teenagers at a close range, often looking in their eyes, calmly calculating that those who try to escape swimming, are so desperate that they will drown.
He can close his mind to all the horror so he can tell in detail how he did the killing. He said that if he did not do that, he would not be able to accomplish the telling.
He says what he did was necessary. I do not care! You do not kill teenagers. He says he did it to save our culture. I do not care! You are allowed to do what he did! He says that after 50 years we'll see he was right. I do not care! You have no right to take lives for that reason. You do not kill and terrorise. I cannot forget how they were helpless with fear and hopelessness..
Roses in front of the Law Cours
If he is not deemed insane, we have to invent a new name for his state of mind.
