Norwegians aren't demanding revenge, because they see criminal behavior very.

Norwegians have an excellent medical care and family support system and subsequently a very low rate of violent crime.  Criminal behavior is seen as a failure of society to recognize and respond to the individual's challenges.  Norwegians don't see criminals as different from themselves, just someone needing care, guidance and education; so they display compassion instead of anger.  Their penal system involves vetting incoming prisoners for medical and psychiatric conditions, gives them the best treatment, excellent schooling/training, and when they are no longer a danger are allowed to leave the facility during the day to work in the community.  This system allows both the offender and the community integrate and adjust gradually.  At full release he has a job and home waiting in a community in which he's comfortable and that knows and welcomes him.  The Norwegian recidivism rate is not surprisingly very, very low.

Here we demonize our criminals so we feel superior, better; and having differentiated ourselves from them, we cry out for revenge.   This marginalization of another only reflects a strong need for self-validation.  It does not in any way prove the other party is 'less worthy' of compassion or human rights, as the Holocaust illustrates.

Norwegian are sharing their grief, drawing strength from each other, and going on with their lives.  One of their own needs care and he will get the very best.  If and when Behring is ready to rejoin the community, the community will embrace him; that's their way. 

Please respect Norway's handling of this matter.  Their penal system certainly works better than ours.

His lawyer has just stated Anders Breivik is insane, he thinks he is in a war, and that people will understand his reasons in sixty years time.

I understand that the police in Norway are considering new charges, "Crimes against Humanity", his family have not visited him in prison, he is also to be medically examined (Psychiatrically I presume).
