Justice?

In the wake of the tragedy in Norway, the news reports that the most extreme jail term usually pronounced in Norway is 21 years. If this is true, I'm wondering where the respect for life is actually placed - on the gun man or the victim's? It is scary and appalling to think that it could be possible that this premeditated murderer could actually be on the streets within 21 years. He is in his early 30's now and would still be in the prime of his life 21 years from now with all that jail time to think up more horrendous deeds to do in the name of his perceived wrongs needing mending in the world by way of a gun and worse.

I'm not an advocate of the death penalty but it seems that in all justice, this guy should get 21 years for each person injured, maimed, or killed in this murder spree. I do believe in a society that gives everyone a reasonable chance but this killer took his intellect and freedom to deprive so many people of their peace of mind and lives.

A lot of prayers are needed for the people of Norway as their peaceful world has been unended by one of their own people. Every country has someone mulling over 'revenge' for their personal perception of wrongs in the world. If this man isn't suitably punished and put away in jail for a long, long time, we just feed the warped of the world with fuel for their own political fire.
