Heard an interview with one of the Norweigian officials about the sentence:

Reporter: "As we know, Norway does not have capital punishment. What is the chance the shooter will be released early"?

Norwegian official: "We don't think so"

???????? You mean a mass murderer who pops something like 77 people has any sort of chance in getting out of prison in less than 21 years?????? "We don't think so" is a lot more timid than "no chance".

This is one of those reminders that as screwed up as the US is, the rest of the world is often worse...
