Great work. Hope you keep on fighting this barbaric act.

Yay! No death penalty in Norway! He'll get a maximum of 21 years in prison for killing 90+ people.  Hurray!! For Justice!!!

[VINNNNNNAYYYYYYYY2]

revenge is justice, there is no difference they both mean punishing someone for something they did in the past, they both bring pain that doesnt solve any problems

@ProjectRevolutionX no I have know people who's loved ones have been murdered..they wouldn't be too happy with you if you told them they should care more about the person who took their loved one away well being..as for Justice is Revenge of this video..Justice is revenge..if someone stole from you, you could forgive them or use Justice(revenge) to get them back..

@ProjectRevolutionX They have interviewed prisoners who said they rather be dead then locked up. At least the death penalty is humane. like putting animals to sleep Considering how most murderer victims die a painful death they should be happy we don't electrocute or hang people. way not to get the death penalty is not murder anyone..i don't see why that is a hard rule to follow...i don't know anyone who murdered anyone, i certainly haven't..is that asking to much?

@ubermisogynist Locking someone up 23/7 is cruel and unusual punishment. I have done my share of 23/7 and all arounds. I wouldn't call it barbaric though in comparison to execution but that is a matter of opinion. I am against the criminal justice system on many points but killing people that kill people to show people that killing is wrong is insanity and number one on my list. Juvenile LWOP is number two...

@BuhayMedia if you jail anyone for any crime instead of forgiving them it's revenge. Justice is Revenge - Revenge is Justice

@blichilde I'm sorry but if someone killed my kid, i''d want them dead. Yes it won't bring my kid back but neither will them sitting in prision..Justice is Revenge and Revenge is Justice. You are a cold hearted person to care more about a murder's life than the victim and victims family

[ubermisogynist]

@blichilde easy for you to say if you weren't the family member of a victim. Also right/wrong is binary. Was it wrong to execute Osama bin Laden? He didn't actually fly the planes into the building but most Americans would say it was justfied just like they think it justified to kill a million Iraqi/Afgahns to avenge 3000 bankers

@ProjectRevolutionX and it's not barbaric to lock someone up 23/7 with people who will rape and torture them..

[ubermisogynist]

@mrhoffame guess what..some would take the execution. I don't see how locking someone one up in a cage 23/7 with other people who will torture and rape them is any less barbaric. Justice is Revenge..Revenge is Justice
