Norway Killer gets 21-Years

[DeeBye]

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...

In Canada we have no death penalty, so the way we deal with people like this is to label them as Dangerous Offenders. Basically, it keeps monstrous felons in tiny dark holes forever. It really doesn't matter what the prison term is - being labelled a Dangerous Offender is harsh stuff and ensures that these monsters never see the light of day.

The purpose of the legislation is to detain offenders who are deemed too dangerous to be released into society because of their violent tendencies, but whose sentences would not necessarily keep them incarcerated under other legislation.

Paul Bernardo is probably the most well-known psychopath in Canada that we have locked up forever with this legislation.
