A Liberals wett dream for Crime and Punishment ...

You are correct.

I'm listening to WBAL radio, and they have an expert on Norwegian Law there and that is basically what they are saying.

If you want, and it's still going, you too can listen too it via the 'net. http://www.wbal.com/listen/live.asp
 
I find it laughable that anyone would talk down to the criminal justice and penal system in Norway, especially as it compares to the United States.

It's true, we are very different countries. But why not at least make an attempt to emulate some of the things that have worked there? I mean what have we got to lose, our penal system is a disaster. But honestly that's not even the point of my response. You started this thread hating on their system, when it is statistically superior to ours (by far). Why would you do that?
 
Very true, and so does a lawyer from Oslo.

Norway Attack: Only 21 years for Anders Behring Breivik?

However, according to Staale Eskeland, a professor of criminal law at the University of Oslo, under Norwegian law sentences are served concurrently and Breivik could not, for instance, be sentenced to 93 consecutive sentences that would imply almost 2,000 years in jail. “No matter how many killings he has committed the maximum cannot be more than 21 years.” The maximum sentence for terrorism in Norway will shortly be raised to 30 years under a decision by parliament but Breivik cannot be tried under that law which has not yet entered into force.





So, being a typo-Nazi is your only saving grace?
 
american exceptionalism bro, it's all the rage with the morons in our country. no one else can throw stones, but we can toss whole boulders.
 
Betamax was technically superior to VHS, and yet it failed big time.

There is more to winning than just being better at one thing.

It's fucking Norway for GoRAB sake. What sort of awesome sauce do they do give to the world?
 
Yes. They should model their penal system just like Americas. All we do is either create more criminals and release them, create a better criminal and keep them in jail for the rest of their life, or kill them.

Or.. you can shut the fuck up, and let Norway handle their own penal system. It's not our fucking business. Jesus why are you such a bitch.
