Norway attacks: Breivik makes 'unrealistic' demands
‘Impossible’
Mr Lippestad said Mr Breivik’s list of demands was “far from the real world” and “completely impossible to fulfil” and showed “he doesn’t know how society works”.
The 22 July attacks have traumatised Norway
“His demands here includes the complete overthrowing of both the Norwegian and European societies,” he told the Associated Press. “But it shows that he doesn’t understand the situation he’s in.”
The 32-year-old had linked his demands to his willingness to share information about other alleged terrorist cells, Mr Lippestad said.
Norwegian police have previously cast doubt on Mr Breivik’s claims that he was part of a broader network but said they would investigate them.
A court has appointed two psychiatrists to try to examine Mr Breivik’s actions, with a mandate to report back by 1 November.
Mr Lippestad said Mr Breivik had asked that he also be examined by Japanese mental health specialists as he believes “the Japanese understand the idea and values of honour” and would understand him better than Europeans.
The lawyer has previously said his client is probably insane.
Mr Lippestad added that a second list from his client requested items like cigarettes and civilian clothes.
![Adrian Chen — What is it about bicycle lanes that turns people into shouty braindead panic robots? Case in point: This news report casts bike lanes as literally a terrorist threat.
Crusading anti-bike lane CBS 2 reporter Marcia Kramer is on the scene at a proposed Manhattan bike lane: “A Second Avenue bike lane is next to the Israeli Consulate,” she says. “Imagine if the man on the bike was a terrorist!”
We did imagine a pack of Huffy-riding suicide bombers bearing down on soft targets throughout the country, and it was terrifying.
Which raises the questions: Why do we allow bike lanes at all? Why are we making it easier for environmentally-friendly terrorists to wreck havoc on our cities? If your house is on a street with a bike lane, you may as well have a big bullseye over your roof with the words “bomb me,” stenciled in big red letters.
Outlawing bike lanes will eliminate the threat of bicycle-based terrorism, since you’d have to be a suicidal maniac to ride on a street without a bike lane. [CBS 2 via Gothamist]
