'Isolation' made Breivik more radicalized

[schumi]

Skien — Norwegian mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik, who killed 77 people in a 2011 bomb-and-shooting rampage, told a court Thursday that his isolation in prison has hurt him, causing him to become even more radicalized.

The 37-year-old right-wing extremist, who has been held in solitary confinement since being sentenced in 2012 to 21 years in prison, talked calmly in court before a three-judge panel and complained that he had been forced to strip naked in front of prison officials as frequently as five times a day.

Dressed in a black suit and tie, the stone-faced Breivik spoke coherently without emotion, saying he agreed with government attorneys who had warned that the self-proclaimed neo-Nazi had become more radicalized in prison.

"I have been damaged by the isolation ... (and) radicalization has been a consequence of it," he said. "I have not been a little hurt, I have been very damaged."

Breivik was speaking on the third day in a court case reviewing a government appeal against a ruling that his isolation in prison violates human rights.

Radicalized is right up there with internet of things as words/phrases that should just never be uttered.

Nobody wants you to be free.

Not true, he claimed his actions were against radical Islam, these days with the Soldiers of Odin roaming the streets in Scandinavia I wouldn't be surprised if more than a few individuals view him as somewhat of a hero and want him to be free.

Twisted yes, but probable.
