    Some comments and observations from a Norwegian native:
    Double last names are extremely common in Norway. These days it's more the norm than an exception. It does not indicate that there's any conflict in the family.
    Whenever I see foreign media report on this, they make a big deal out of his relationship with his mother. I don't know what the source of this is, but it's not something that came up during the trial. Certainly not any sexual abuse.
    He was NOT a notorious graffiti artist. He was a tagger that kept getting caught. He never produced anything that could be described as art, and he was laughed at by others in the scene.
    This was not "one of the worst attacks in Norwegian history". It was beyond comparison the ABSOLUTE worst thing ever to happen here outside wartime. I won't say it's the worst in recorded history, since much of Norway's recorded history includes the Viking era, but it's certainly the worst in modern history.
    Utøya is not a camp for the children of politicians. It's a camp for young people interested in politics. They are young, passionate, aspiring politicians. Attendees come from all over the country, which means that everyone in Norway knows someone, or know someone who knows someone, who were there.
    He was not sentenced to 21 years prison, he was sentenced to 21 years safe-keeping. He can (and will) be held until deemed safe to release. He'll die right where he is.
    He's also not sentenced to solitary confinement. He's being isolated from other prisoners, who are not as forgiving as the justice system.
    You say our system seems like a joke. Please, have a look at Norway's criminal statistics. We have low crime, and low rates of re-offending.
    Even THIS atrocity has not resulted in any demand for harsher punishments from Norwegians.

    In the aftermath of this, a survivor stated "Om én mann kan vise så mye hat, tenk hvor mye kjærlighet vi alle kan vise sammen.", which roughly translates to "If one single man can show so much hate, think how much love we can all show together", which is beautiful. This later became the quote of the incident

This case has stuck with me my whole life because it’s linked to the first time I can remember feeling terror. I watched this go down on the news with my grandparents, I saw the clips shown in this video live and I remember seeing the look on my grandmas face, the pure terror. It’s always been such an incomprehensible case to me and I could never wrap my head around it, so to see a video from one of my favorite RUclipsrs concisely summing up the whole event and paying tribute to all the victims really does mean a lot to me, and I’m sure to a lot of other people out there too.

    As a Scot who moved to Norway in 2003, I remember this happening vividly as we were setting up the Club i worked in for the weeks concerts ahead. Norway does not have this level of event happening and it was a truly sad experience to live through. Literally everyone knows someone who lost a life in this (including myself, knew one kid who died and one who survived). The dignity and strength this little country showed was truly heartwarming. In Trondheim where I live, there is a water-feature dedicated to the ones sadly lost that day.
    Thank you for your usual dignified coverage of this case.

I actually mean to state this completely independently from this horrific Anders Breivik case, but just out of personal experience instead. We don't live in a perfect world, obviously, and in some cases it is for sure for the better to create a safe distance between a father and his children. Or mother and her children, in other cases.

    I’m also very proud of how mostly all Norwegians stood together in love and determination.
    I also get why foreigners shake their heads at our system, but I have no doubt he will stay incarcerated until he dies. All prisoners are treated with humanity, even those who you might not think deserve it. The point is not to be punished in prison, but to take away your freedom and to protect others.
    When prisoners are released, they will be someone’s neighbour… therefore the system is designed to help prisoners back to a normal life.
    But as said, he will likely never be let free.
    There are several prisoners held for life, even though the max sentence is 21 years.

    Great job on making this video It's unspeakable that one man can carry out so much killing and destruction to his country that even his father has all but disowned him. At the time of the attack in Norway Jens Breivik was living in retirement in Southern France near Marseille. Upon learning of the attack in Norway and finding out that his son was the man responsible he was devastated. In the following days the father was interviewed by a Norwegian tv news reporter stating that he will no longer have anymore contact with his son saying. "No. I will never have more contact with him. In my darkest moments, I think that rather than killing all those people, he should have taken his own life."

      I am not entirely sure how many baseballs you would throw with ypur son that changes things from “mass killer” to “decent man”. I acknowledge he should have taken the boy from his mother, but a negligent father doesn’t make a killer.
      Refusing to acknowledge him, isn’t a failure in his father’s part either. I would rather a parent do this than stand by their son screaming “innocent” in the face of so much evidence.

It's almost like the 9/11 of Norway. My father actually used to work at the place that was bombed, luckily, he quit only a few years before the bombing. Horrifying to think that my father could've been added to the long list of victims. I am so grateful that he survived, but devastated that 77 other people needlessly lost their lives all because of one evil man.

    I live more than 10 kilometers from Oslo senter and I felt the bomb. 22 July 2011 is a date I will never forget. The kids on Utøya must have been so scared and they families who saw it on tv couldn’t do anything. We in Norway just want to forget the perpetrator but he keeps complaining of how awful it is in prison and takes it to court and they allow him to do this. So his name is often still on the news. What did he expect. Of course prison should be awful. He has still the same thoughts as he had in 2011 so he can’t ever be set free. A couple of days after the attack Norwegian got together and walked with a rose in love and tolerance. We need to have kindness and tolerance towards each other not hate.

That is a very bad mother. Nature verses nurture always fascinates me. My son has ADHD and he was a manic as a toddler, so this where my curiosity stemmed from. He turned out just fine and had lots of love.

      As you imply, you can hypothesize a diagnosis from someones behaviour, but not the other way around. I can't imagine a professor doing the latter but I wasn't there so I can't judge whether he was wrong or just misunderstood. Breivik does appear to have some traits of ASD, but they could be part of other conditions as well. For example ASD and delusional disorder is a hell of a combination. Which is not to say he has either, but again he does show some traits. Even a layman would call him delusional just by his manifesto. Also, delusional disorder may be influenced by having a bad childhood, developing some escape mechanism early on.

    How on earth with a mother like that, the father lost the custody battle? I'm a feminist, so I can't deny that sometimes there is a bias against men too like in cases of custody. Reminds me of Terry Richter case, where she was apprehended for discharging a firearm inside of the house and threatening her husband to shoot him AND SHE GOT THEIR CHIDLREN. Even tho the husband applied for custody. Like what the fuck. Mother's are not automatically the better parent, which I feel a lot of people think, because it's them who carried the child in their body. Mother's can also be monsters.
    Edit: To all the crying boys in my replies... What I described is literally the by-product of patriarchy, where the woman is seen as the parent that takes care of the kids, so good luck next time, trying to blame feminist on shit you are literally trying to cultivate yourself...

      Narcissistic abuse; they are like children with a toy. When no one is minding the toy the child has no interest, but the second someone picks up the toy suddenly the child wants it back and will scream and yell for it back. That is how narcissists see their children, as toys to be picked up, abused, discarded and then picked up again. When the father showed interest in Anders suddenly the mother wanted him back to abuse again.

We weren’t successful, but we randomly got adopted by a native Laplander family who took us in for a day. They were so kind and even fed us, sharing their particular cultural traditions. It was so wonderful and I’m grateful for such hospitality.
    When this mass murder took place, it really broke my heart. Norway was so welcoming and while the family that took us in wasn’t directly affected, I was horrified anyone would do that to Norwegian society.

    This is indeed a terrible tragedy. For those complaining about "good treatment of prisoners" my understanding is that Norway has one of the lowest recidivism rates in the world, at ~20%. So even with those posh jails, the majority of the prisoners apparently don't feel it is better than being free and strive to stay out of them. The recidivism rate, in the US, which has some of the worst prison conditions in the wealthy world, in contrast is ~76%...so they are doing something better as far as rehabilitation of criminals generally in Norway. Solitary confinement is harsh punishment, no matter how nice the cage is, he is definitely being punished (evidenced by all of his complaining). That said, the Norweigan authorities can extend his sentence if he is deemed to be still dangerous after the 21 years, and if so, they will. Inhumane treatment of people who commit crimes and excessively long sentences, even when the crimes are despicable (which, arguably, all murder is), doesn't make society better. Some people can be rehabilitated, but I doubt Behring Breivik is one of them.

The profit all goes to corporations, taxes pay them house the prisoners then they exploit them for labor and are paid for that as well. SO messed up!
