Norway's worst mass killer will get 21 years in jail at the most!

Killer: Anders Behring Breivik, as seen on his Facebook profile
Norway's mass killer faces a maximum jail term of just 21 years. Astonishingly, that is the longest sentence available to judges in Norway's benevolent justice system.  In England and Wales, repeat killers can be told they will die behind bars with a 'whole life' tariff, and killers who use a knife or gun face minimum terms of 25 and 30 years.  But in Norway, few killers serve more than 14 years.
