Nearly eight months after the 2011 Norway massacre, Anders Behring Breivik admits to the act of murdering 77 people, but not to any criminal guilt. After all, he was acting out of necessity, as he had to save his country from being taken over by the Muslims.
With the ten-week trial now underway, the Associated Press reported that the key issue to be resolved is the state of Breivik’s mental health, which will decide whether he is sent to prison or into psychiatric care.
I am about to save the Norwegian government and its courts ten weeks’ time and thousands of dollars: YES. He is crazy. Out of his tree. Off his rocker. A wingnut. Bonkers. Batty. Loco. And for the purposes of the court, clinically and legally insane.
And here’s some more food for thought for the team of judges, defense counsels and state-appointed prosecutors and forensic psychiatrists who are wracking their brains in the Oslo District Court: sometimes crazy and evil can mean the same thing.
Imagine a world where evil is actually punished, and where governments spend their resources on things that actually matter.
I wish I was still young enough to run for Miss America. I think I might be onto something.
