http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2112068,00.html?iid=gs-main-mostpop2(OSLO, Norway) With a defiant closed-fist salute, a right-wing fanatic admitted Monday to a bomb-and-shooting massacre that killed 77 people in Norway but pleaded not guilty to criminal charges, saying he was acting in self-defense.
On the first day of his long-awaited trial, Anders Behring Breivik rejected the authority of the court as it sought to assign responsibility for the July 22 attacks that shocked Norway and jolted the image of terrorism in Europe.
Dressed in a dark suit and sporting a thin beard, Breivik smiled as a guard removed his handcuffs in the crowded court room. The 33-year-old then flashed his salute before shaking hands with prosecutors and court officials.
"I don't recognize Norwegian courts because you get your mandate from the Norwegian political parties who support multiculturalism," Breivik said in his first comments to the court.

He certainly doesn't need to be loose on the streets.

Over-dramatic douche bag who so desperately wants to believe he is a crusader of some kind.

Maybe he should reach out to the NRA and the gun nuts of America.
