Mass murderer Breivik says he 'deserves a medal'

Mass killer Anders Breivik told a court in Norway today he deserved a medal of honour for the murder of 77 people and demanded to be set free.

Breivik, who has been declared criminally insane, smirked as he was led in to Oslo district court, handcuffed and dressed in a dark suit, for his last scheduled detention hearing before the trial starts in April.

He stretched out his arms in what his lawyer Geir Lippestad said was "some kind of right-wing extremist greeting."

Reading from prepared remarks, the 32-year-old Norwegian told the court that the July 22 massacre - carried out with a bomb, a rifle and a handgun - was a strike against "traitors" he said were embracing immigration to promote "an Islamic colonisation of Norway."

Like in previous hearings, Breivik admitted to setting off the bomb outside the government headquarters in Oslo and opening fire at a Labour Party youth camp on Utoya island, outside the capital, but denied criminal responsibility and rejected the authority of the court.

About 100 survivors and relatives of victims watched in disbelief, as Breivik asked to be released, and told the judge he should receive a military honour for Norway's most deadly peacetime attacks.

"It wasn't good that he got to say what he wanted to say," said Amel Baltic, a 16-year-old survivor of the Utoya massacre. "It made me irritated."

Many survivors have expressed concern that Breivik will use court hearings to draw attention to his extremist views.

A psychiatric evaluation found Breivik criminally insane, but a second evaluation was ordered amid criticism against that diagnosis. Breivik has refused to cooperate with psychiatrists in the second review.

Unlike the only previous public hearing, Breivik this time agreed to let himself be photographed before the proceedings began. Mr Lippestad, the defence lawyer, suggested Breivik's remarks on Monday foreshadowed what is to come in the trial, scheduled to start on April 16.

"It's a preparation for the trial. Much of this case is about his personality," he said.

Breivik claims he is a commander of a militant organisation aiming to overthrow European governments and replace them with "patriotic" regimes that would deport Muslim immigrants.

Hey, relax on those conspiracy theories. They're definitely not healthy psychologically.

If you read more decent material you would learn that the "enemy" considered by the extreme right is not the blacks or the Muslims but the traitors. Even our own boast they have a list of 50 traitors they want to hang when they get into power.

Breivik did not kill just any "Norvegian" but the leftists he blames for betraying the country because of their policies on immigration.

Yes you relax and when the takeover is complete, you will know who the real traitors are. I do not wish to call these 'Conspiracy Theories" because in truth the are plain Conpiracies. This guy looks to me to be a Manchurian Candidate.

A good suggested reading about real Conspiracies, read Greg Palast books such as
Vultures' Picnic" or check his website:

Pretty strong opinions on a subject you clearly know very little about.

The main target was AUF, the Labour youth party. Labour are strong supporters of the terrorist organisation Hamas, and have given them money so that they can continue their bombing of Israeli school buses and make sure that they get a steady supply of Qasam-missiles. Labour was in fact the first party in the world to acknowledge, recognize and congratulate Hamas on winning the election. Our foreign minister, Labour's Jonas Gahr Støre, have had secret meetings with the most militant leader of Hamas. The day before the Utøya bombings AUF and Støre were once again supporting Hamas and terrorism. Oh, the irony.

Labour, who are in government, desperately want to label Breivik as an irrational lunatic. The appointed psychiatrists gave him a score of 2 out of a possible 100 on the Global assessment functioning score" GAF. Patients with this score are not able to eat by themselves, put on their shoes or wash themselves. It means one is more or less a vegetable. As you understand this is clearly not the case and therefore political, and it goes to the highest level. Breivik is actually functioning so well that our police and intelligence services refused to believe that both operations were carried through by one man only. Doesn't sound like a vegetable to me.

It has been very important for media (controlled by Labour) to demonise Breivik, to ridicule him and make nasty caricatures of him. The problem however is that a lot of people see through it, and many of his statements make them feel uneasy and uncomfortable because they share the same views on immigration. The majority of Norwegians want to stop the mass-immigration (we take most in the world per capita). The fact is that Norway was the safest country in the world until the immigration from third world countries, and between 2005 and 2008 every single of the 50 assault rapes in the streets of Oslo were committed by immigrants. This infuriates a lot of people who feel utterly powerless. Because of this there will be more Breiviks in the making in Norway and elsewhere.

@D. Anderson

Thanks for the info. I always felt that there were more to this case then meets the eye. I am very much up to date on the immigrants situation in each country in Europe and the fact tha most 'dominance crimes' such as rapes are overwhelmingly committed by Muslim immigrants, who feel that their culture is superior to the Christian European one in every way, hence the lable 'dominance crimes'.

Apart from being inhumane, that would be no punishment, death would be the end of all his problems, is that what you want?

Simon Polidano

Agreed... in this case i think there is no other option. I'm not a fan of the death sentence but this guys is just taking up oxygen he does not deserve. he has no remorse and furthermore he shows no sign of reform. He believes what he has done is justified. I dont believe this guys is insane I just believe he is sick, twisted and is not above playing god... Then he should not be afraid to die then should he

Europe also needs to start looking after it's own citizens rather than importing skills from non-EU countries that are widely available in the EU.

Aside from disagreeing with capital punishment in any form, it definitely wouldn't serve any purpose here. It would only making him feel like a martyr dying for his cause. Had there been capital punishment in Norway, this would have happened all the same.

@Polidano,

"I dont believe this guy is insane I just believe he is sick,"

Does that sentence make sense to you?

On the other hand they could take a hard line.
