Fell of a building & gets tasered? Good going. At least when he gets a conditional discharge from the judge he will have already had some punishment for his crime.
I know this is not the right story, but how can the guy in Norway get away with 21 years for killing 77 people? What the FUc#. Socialist Liberal, Garbage.
I just had to vent.
Barracuda,
The longest prison term possible in Norway is 21 years. It is impossible to get a longer sentence. They have a penal system that leans more heavily on rehabilitation than punishment. It works under the assumption that every person who enters prison will eventually re-enter society. They try to avoid the institutionalisation and “inmate mentality” that often comes with long prison sentences in places like the united states.
There are no supermax style prisons in Norway and most prisoners are given jobs and activities rather than being locked in a cell 24 hours a day. They have a much more lower percentage of convicts returning to prison than the united states and their system does seem to work in most cases.
While I like their judicial system and find it more sensible than the American style, it is my opinion hat they should have made an exception for anders brievik. When he was handed his sentence he actually apologized to other Norwegian nationalists for not killing more people. His is one case where capital punishment would have been wholly appropriate.
Barracuda,, I read that story online yesterday as well,, Amazing..
A shame that he did not at least break his legs or back so he would get some sort of lingering punishment
And we would have to pay for it via Social Assitance or while he is in prison.
Should have broke his frigging neck, thieving bastard
He’ll get a “don’t do it again” speech and be on his merry way OUT the courtroom. Really brings me to tears at how crappy this Island has become. There is absolutey no faith in the system and it starts from the TOP!
Been letting off thieving white collar criminals for years …shhhhh
Good job BPS—taser his a** all the way to jail, and give him one for me please.
Well done!
He’ll face the charges monday lol
ya in any other country they would hold him or he would have to post bail and return to court two months later..if lucky, with no money, you have to stay in jail that entire time!
With any luck this c::t will be strung up as he deserves
“however he fell on his face.” LMFAOOOOO BAWAHHHAAAAAAAA this made my day! LOL!
He’s probably a repeat offender so hopefully he will do time.
Forgot he couldn’t fly.
This sounds like it should be on worlds dumbest criminals, what made him think it would be a good idea to absorb the impact of a fall with his face? Or did they taser him before he “jumped”, hmmmm? Oh well, faces, ground, always funny amyway, you’ll laugh about this later…I will now lol
Bernews .. Can you get us a Before the fall and , after the fall Mug Shot ?
Must have been a skinny crackhead or dopehead, coming down from high
Would love to see his mug shot. I’m sure it was a pretty picture lol…
Is there any footage captured on the spy cameras in town? Or do those still not work? It’d be great to watch! LOL
Laugh of the day!!! But good thing this did not happen in the US…. there have been instances where would-be burglars have successfully sued the building owners when they were injured in the course of attempting a burglary!!!
In the US he would have been shot before he had the chance to jump !
I hope he’s OK and has a speedy recovery so he can get back on the streets and make some more bling. Poor guy…
Precious world star footage missed sigh
Actually, how can an company get away with a 700 – 800percent mark up on goods???
After all these comments one wonder why we are where we are.
It’s all about me.
Sadly the individual in question ended up occupying a bed in kemh emergency last night with two officers standing guard when they could have been attending to other crime activity and the er staff could have been helping really sick people.
Well, if/when he’s is released, he won’t be hard to identify… smashed face, huh…! Had he gotten caught by the owner’s – it would have been hell to pay, believe dat!!
he should have drank a redbull……(o_0)
