Norway Killer gets 21-Years

Is this how they do justice in Norway? A man murders 77-people, is found competent to stand trial so clearly knew what he was doing, and gets a mere 21 years, of which the trial judge say he needs to serve at least 10 of those years... 10 freaking years?!? Are you kidding me? And the year he's already been in prison counts as time served...

He was sentenced to the maximum possible term of 21 years and was ordered to serve a minimum of 10 years in prison.

Call me a cynic, but this is not justice. I'm in shock right now that this mass murderer could potentially be out to do the same thing over again in 9-years time. America is not exactly the shining beacon when it comes to laws and justice, but there has got to be something wrong with the Norwegian justice system if that man doesn't serve the rest of his life in prison! I’m actually appalled at this situation; no, more in shock. Even the UN has stricter laws against Nazi’s when caught, and the UN considers itself very humanitarian by modest standards. Well there we go; I already invoked the first law of Godwin, so I guess I should finish this off by saying I’m sure some of those Nazi’s were guilty as sin, but a few of them were merely guilty by association, yet their sentences are far more severe then someone who actually carried out a mass murder with his own hands… I don’t even know what to say.

He won't get out. Under Norwegian law, he's being held as a danger to society and can be held as long as they deem he is still a threat. Shock-seeking headlines will read "as little as 10 years!" the the reality is that he's there for life.
