Anders Breivik was certainly texas.
- V-2 11y agoSentencing him to 21 years in a prison where about $1 million was spent by designers on paintings, photography and light installations, and where authorities hire "friends" so that Breyvik has someone to play hockey and chess with - that seems completely texas to me!
- facetube 11y agoCould you cite your sources? I'd like to know more.

- eivarv 11y agoRe: your second link; Breivik is not in Halden prison - which is pretty fancy, even by our Norwegian standards. Also; that whole debate about punitive vs. restorative justice, logic and empiricism.
- V-2 11y agoOkay, then he's not - sorry - still that's beyond the point really, I think it's a bit over the top in and of itself
- GFK_of_xmaspast 11y agoIn Texas, a dude who murdered 77 people would have already faded into the background by now (unless he did it in a memorable way, like Charles Whitman)
- mcantelon 11y agoTexas has over 5 times the population of Norway and I don't think there's ever been a spree killer there that even got close to Breivik's 75 victims (but I'm happy to be corrected). But it seems likely spree killing is more common in Texas than Norway.
