Anders Behring Breivik Gets Hearing

Anders Behring Breivik, who confessed to killing 77 people in Norway this past July, and injuring 151 more, made his first public appearance in court today. Breivik is a right wing extremist who claimed that his crimes were necessary in order to save Norway from multiculturalism and Islam. It is hard to forget the trouble that this man caused this summer, and the mass sorrow that resulted from it when he dressed up as a police man and went to an island where children were engaging in activities and he killed many of them. Those that survived will never forget the tragedy, and will forever be scarred by the event. The article mentions Breivik's request to receive a court hearing so that he could explain his motives, but his request was denied by high courts. It is hard to comprehend how devastating this event was and Breivik should be locked up for a long time.
