Just 21 Years for Anders Breivik? An Opinion
For those who don't remember the mass murderer of Norway in July, 2011, that person was Anders Behring Breivik. The reason I'm bringing up the far back past is today the media is somehow linking Adam Lanza to Breivik, that Lanza was obsessed with Breivik's 77 murders and wanted to outdo him. That when Lanza broke into that school he was planning a much higher count.
That's where the title of this post comes in. The media said Breivik got 21 years for the murder of 77 people.
Come ON!
I'm not exactly a believer in capital punishment, for the reason of questionable witnesses being mistaken and sometimes outright lying about what they saw. Of course DNA should have taken care of that problem today. But the premeditated murder of 77 people? Especially that the man hunted and stalked those helpless teenagers on that island? Come ON, Norway, I realize you are probably one of the most liberal nations on earth, but if anybody deserved capital punishment it was Anders Behring Breivik.
The media announcement about 21 years ended with the thought that after those 21 years a judge would have the option of turning that animal loose. I doubt that will happen. Even liberal and naive Norway would know better than that. But think about it. What will the world be like in 21 years. People and laws will change. They might even come up with a drug to feed Breivik that will make him look like any other human being.
The truth is, he still wouldn't be...'like any other human being.'
No, he was guilty. The moment they caught him and had the trial--just for the paperwork--he should have gotten the needle, or a noose, or the chair, or a bullet, or the guillotine, or whatever other way Norway dispatches capital punishment, except I'm pretty sure Norway doesn't have capital punishment. Myself? I don't believe in putting a monster in jail just to punish him for 21 years...if there is absolutely no doubt, as in this case, I would put an end to that miserable life.
Which brings us back to Adam Lanza.
The media also is saying--guessing maybe, as nothing official has yet been released--that Lanza also was obsessed with watching violent video games to sharpen his killing skill, that he would sit down in the basement in a darkened room for hours at a time practicing.
Did his mother--who often took her son with her to shooting ranges--have even a speck of a clue about where her son might be heading? Something we will never know.
I saw Breivick on television recently. He had the same stupid smirk on his face as Jared Loughner of Arizona and James Holmes of Colorado. Who ARE these people? What makes them tick? What makes their life so wretched and boring and empty that they turn to mass murder? Has nobody ever held them and loved them, at least when they were a child? More things we will never know.
All three probably think THEY are the victims, that the people they wanted to give them--the attention they thought they deserved--did not give it to them. So unnamed random people had to pay for the imagined trespasses against these three monsters.
In order to be fair to these three subhumans I just looked up the meaning of the word "monster" in the 1996 Oxford Dictionary and Thesaurus. I wanted to be sure I wasn't calling them something they really didn't deserve to be called. Here are the definitions in order:
--an imaginary creature, usu. large and frightening, compounded of incongruous elements.
--an inhumanly cruel or wicked person.
--a misshapen animal or plant.
--a large hideous animal or thing.
...that's enough.
These three at least are now behind bars, but there's more monsters out there, folks, among us, right now. There are mothers and fathers and uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, and cousins, who fear there might be something wrong with...what's-his-name. No use giving a yet-unknown person a name.
Unfortunately, we have to wait for the crime to be committed.
Annnd, it just got committed: Another one in the paper today, 2-20-2013. Here's the headline from my local paper: "Fast moving California shooting spree leaves four dead." Tustin, California, Ali Syed, 20, first kills a woman in his home, then speeds away in his parents' car, then this little 20-year-old kills two more people during carjackings and shoots up the busy freeway. One man he marched to the curb and then shot him in the back of the head, executed him. Oh, then, of course, little Syed commited suicide.
Strange how these mass killers are either wacko or commit suicide. Either way the police can't get good information about them. Anyone else smell conspiracy? That somehow these mass shootings are being orchestrated by some evil power behind the scenes to turn the American public against anyone who owns a gun?

James,
ReplyDeleteI'm still not convinced Lanza wasn't a U.S. government employee and/or pawn.
There are more than enough things that don't add up with the entire incident than I'm inclined to swallow and believe.
Where there's smoke there's fire. And, when it's mass shootings, I'm always inclined to think the government is involved in it.
It's nothing new for them. They're just more apt to be politically correct about it these days, and operate with secrecy.
Gone are the blatant days of government goons being honest and open about being goons, like they were at Wounded Knee.
Past that ... it's a beautiful piece of peace on earth you included. :)

Thanks, Femme,
ReplyDeleteI tend to wonder and even agree with all you said. Next week my blog will be launched from my new website...just today got it figured out.
The Freebie page is up too, just one offering so far.
Thanks again for all your help,
James
