I found out yesterday that the racist who stalked and murdered 92 children in cold blood in Norway last week will be punished with a maximum of 21 years in a Norway prison. In a moment of shocked outrage I wrote a comment saying that I wished that he were killed by one of the parents like in the book A Time To Kill.
Now, let me state clearly that I DON'T REALLY WANT THAT TO HAPPEN, so all of the people who might be unsure about that can be clear about it. At the moment that I wrote my comment I was in shock finding out that this racist would be in his 50s when he finished the max prison term he could receive. I attempted to explain that in follow up comments, but apparently I failed.
I understand why my comment was hide rated by a few people. They read my comment as a call for violence or as an expression of support for violence. It was neither. It was merely an expression of shocked dismay that for killing 92 kids this guy is going to get punished with a couple decades in a Norway prison which is a better life than poor kids have living in the USA. I watch a lot of movies and my mind went to that movie and I thought for a moment that it seemed like a just punishment.
But I am sorry I wrote my comment. I really am. I didn't even really mean it when I wrote it. But I do absolutely mean this comment. I have read some people here saying that Norway may keep this monster in prison for life. I hope they do because if they don't they are equally responsible for the next 92 children he slaughters when they let him out in 21 years at the nice young age of 50 something.
7:40 PM PT: Wow. I wrote this and then left to go watch a movie. I just got back to find all the comments. Thanks everyone.
By the way. I watched the movie with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunich. I can't remember the name of the movie, but it was pretty funny and pretty sweet. But I should have waited to watch it with my wife. It is a good date movie. I don't normally watch romantic comedies by myself in the theater. My wife was busy and I was bored and it was either this movie, Transformers or Winnie the Pooh. Friends With Benefits! That's the name of the movie. Starts slow, gets pretty funny. But a LOT of sex in it. Wow. Not a PG 13 movie at all.
