I shared my August 24 post
on the sentencing of Anders Breivik with several Norwegian friends.
One of them, criminologist Per Ole Johansen, has taken the time to
inform me that Breivik promised that if released he had access to
weapons and would use them for a repeat attack, and likeminded
friends to help him. Per Ole tells me that underground guns are all
too abundant in Norway, and that he wouldn't be prepared to bet lives
on the unsupported police belief that Breivik was bluffing.
I apologize, especially to
those whose lives were directly touched by Breivik's massacre, for
suggesting that he poses no further danger to his community. Here I
preach resistance to profiling and stereotyping. Woops!
And Norwegians, thank you
for setting the rest of us an example of dignity and restraint in the
face of national tragedy. Love and peace--hal
After reading your content i am really hopeful that i can get more friends in the world. This is the best option for us to developed the contact with the others people.
