Would you say this man was an extreme sociopath/psychopath?

(No)Why is it "non psychopathic' for a person to do that in response to someone raping their kid, but not to do the same thing to the people who he perceived to be responsible for enabling the rape of his country? The point isn't to 'defend' what he did, but to simply point out that otherwise sane people can be driven to do awful stuff. Shipping in the wolves that are 3rd World 'refugees' into the flock of sheep that is Scandinavia has a brutal social consequence, but we're supposed to ignore that and instead, chant in unison about 'diversity' and 'tolerance'. Is it really a shock when someone snaps over that bullshit?He was sane when he did this, and should be put to death. Since he's in Norway, he won't be put to death... so he should spend the rest of his life 20 years in prison.

Your posts are somewhat contradictory. You claim not to defend what he did, but then clearly go on to partially justify his actions. Your argument in his defense is extremely weak. If it is justified to kill random citizens of a country in which you strongly disagree with a particular decision, then just about anyone could justify murder. There is no good definition of insanity, in large part because so many people believe and do things that do not make sense. Virtually any insane action is not labeled as one if enough people do it. Clearly he doesn't qualify by that standard. Another standard you can use is being able to identify cause and effect. Clearly his sense of cause and effect is wildly distorted. There was no rational reason to believe that what he did would in any way accomplish his stated goals.There is one measure by which his action would make "sense"- revenge. Obviously he was trying to inflict as much suffering as possible on those he hated. Revenge is often not rational but it is a common enough emotion that some people will probably recognize him as sane because of this. All this is academic though. It is pointless to try to assess sanity when judging crimes. The question we should be asking is whether that person is a danger to society and whether that danger will change over time.

Not "defending" him, nor justifying has actions. I'd stand on the firing squad for this guy and not be too worried whether my rifle was the one with the blank. Simply articulating his thought process and pointing out a 'sentimental hypocrisy' that might exist. His broader cause is totally valid. How he went about furthering it was horrendous. If anything, he made it more difficult to have the discussion, since this heinous act will forever be used to marginalize anyone who speaks out against 3rd World immigration.

Sorry, but I dissagree. Anyone that can shoot that many kids in the manner he did has a complete lack of empathy or realization of the suffering he is causing. That is a sign of an extreme sociopath, or in his case psychopath.

Do you think strategic bombing in WWII was insane?
