He has admitted to the killings but refuses to accept that he has committed a criminal act. How does a society react to something like this? Society should condemn him and lock him away forever, no forgiveness

Killing him would make him a martyr, which would cause additional problems. Society needs to convince him he's wrong.

Breivik's central argument is that he is not insane. An insanity plea would negate his position. Should he be declared legally insane? A sane person would not have done what he did, therefore he's insane.

He made a concious decision to commit his atrocious act. He's obviously not crazy.

Norway's legal system promotes a "sober, dignified treatment" of anyone accused of a crime. Do you agree with the way this case is being tried so far? No, in this case the system is being played by a monster

Yes, this may be extremely uncomfortable for the first few days but this is the dignified process that needs to be followed

This is an exceptional case, Breivik should not be granted the same rights as an accused criminal. He's admitted guilt, what's the benefit of allowing him this platform?
