If #Breivik does not recognise the authority of the court, why is he pro-actively addressing it?

Because he's a deluded loon. The media should be ignoring this completely.

I disagree - think vital to expose the rottenness of his arguments to the light.

- Goering et al. didn't recognise Nuremberg, still defended themselves. Long tradition of this sort of stuff...

The manifesto is available for anyone who wants to read it. He's grandstanding, and he's loving every minute of it.

Precisely - they defended themslves against Pros case; they didn't pro-actively seek to make a political case of their own.

That's a different matter; this is about what led from his beliefs to the acts for which he's being tried. Deserves exposure.

1/2 Really? Has anything he has said come as a surprise to anyone? He thinks Western civilisation is under threat from...

2/2...multiculturalism, therefore murdering people who may grow up to be multiculturalism-supporting politicians is justified.

I would like to see him questioned about that to demonstrate the irrationality of it; that is what a trial is for.

@Benulek Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki

The point of a trial is to determine guilt or innocence, not to afford the defendant a soapbox.

@EllieCumbo London

And you do that by testing the evidence, as far as possible in a public way, not by hiding it.

@Benulek Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki

Sure, but that can be done in question-answer format, not 'personal statement' format. It's like HE'S the victim here.

@Benulek Nowy Dwór Mazowiecki

Which, as he would have it, he is...

Yes, that part sits uncomfortably, but it is a different legal system. If other defendants have that opportunity, he must too.
