The Norwegian government now says 76 people were killed by the Norway terrorist and that the terrorist will only get 21 years plus, perhaps another 5 year extensions if he still proves he a danger to society.
From Fox News: Friday's twin attacks in Norway that killed 76 people have sparked growing outcry at the country's penal code, under which even the man now accused in the mass killings would face a maximum penalty of only 21 years in prison if convicted.
If found guilty in the massacre and given that maximum sentence, Anders Behrin Breivik, 32, would serve roughly 100 days in prison per killing.

Many Norwegians are very upset about this as they have come to realize that maybe being idealistic is not always reality.
but then you have morons like this:
“I think it is very important to keep it that way, despite the gruesome events that have occurred now,” professor Thomas Mathiesen of the University of Oslo told the website. “Norwegian society will gain nothing from a higher punishment level. People of this kind will not become less prone to engage as this man did ... and the punishment level we have now will contribute to Norway staying the relatively humane society that we are proud of and want to live in.”
Umm, no professor who lives in the Ivory Tower, it's called deterrence. You don't think the terrorist thought about the consequences of spending only 21 years in a real cushy prison, compared to most prisons? Of course he did.

Norway has probably have never seen evil like this, but they knew it existed and they should have been prepared for this. But they it would never happen to them. and then it did.
Lesson learned the hard way.
