Killing to Spread the Word - What the....

As hard as I tried I could not ignore the story of a murderer that went on a carefully planned rampage against humanity in Oslo, Norway. This man joins others that operated on the fringe of self-structured reality until they decided to activate their grandiose plans to rush in a new world order of one kind or another.

Anders Behring Breivik is the latest in a line of crazies that have at one point or another left their indelible mark on society. I agree that this Breivik guy is as crazy as a loon, however he is not insane nor should he be allowed that defense to minimize punishment.

No matter what definition you prefer to determine if a person is criminally insane this dude does not rate that label. No one can plan and execute a precise military style strike operation on the scale that Anders managed and still fit the legal definition required for an insanity defense in Norway.

Breivik would have to be severely psychotic during the commission of his crimes to be classified insane. He would have to have lost all contact with reality, to a point of having no control whatsoever over his actions. In such a state he could never have managed transporting himself from one attack site to another 24 miles (38 km) away, about a one hour drive because of terrain, in a state of psychosis. He simply could not listen to "the voices" in his head without crashing his vehicle into the first object that was in his way.

So with a giant manifesto to support his plan he created a tragedy that strikes at the hearts of shattered families, his country, and the world.

After the killing was over what was Breivik worried most about? Remorse, sadness, dismay, or any bad feelings about what he did? Not at all, his concern was; when can I get into a public courtroom and in front of cameras to further my cause of a new world order! So far Norway has said, "Not a chance buddy."

Breivik

Manson

Although Breivik is clean cut he is no less ominous than Charles Manson who formed a cult to do his dirty work for him. His goal was to bring on a race war that failed to materialize in 1969. Manson believed this race war was eluded to in the song, "Helter Skelter", by the Beatles. He and his followers would be saved from the resulting Armageddon by hiding out in an underground city of gold located in Death Valley. When his race war did not materialize as planned he instead ordered his followers to murder innocent people to get the ball rolling.

Manson is rotting in prison for the rest of his life which is the least that should happen to Anders Behring Breivik.

We can change the world a bit at a time: try to do at least one random act of kindness today.
