Norway Mass Killer May Be Declared Legally Insane
By Dr. Eleanor Vance | Published on January 01, 0001
Confessed mass murderer Anders Behring Breivik was legally insane when he killed nearly 80 [[link]] people, many children, during a bombing and shooting rampage in Norway in July, according to a psychiatric evaluation ordered by the court, the Associated Press reports.(new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c&cid=872d12ce-453b-4870-845f-955919887e1b'; cnx.cmd.push(function() { cnx({ playerId: "995c4c7d-194f-4077-b0a0-7ad466eb737c" }).render("79703296e5134c75a2db6e1b64762017"); }); Breivik, 32, said he claimed a modern day affliction, World of Warcraft gaming addiction, to 
prevent those close to him from prying into his personal life in the days, the weeks leading up to his [[link]] twin attacks in Oslo. Fellow guildmates and gamers described Breivik as a likable loner. If the insanity evaluation is accepted by the court Breivik would likely be sent to a psychiatric ward, not prison.

In the report, Breivik is 
described as a man “who finds himself in his own delusional universe, where all his thoughts and acts are governed by these delusions,” prosecutor Svein Holden said. “They conclude that Anders Behring Breivik during a long period of time has developed the mental disorder of paranoid schizophrenia, which has changed him and made him into the person he is today.”
An insanity defense in Norway requires that a defendant be in a “state of [[link]] psychosis” while committing the crime. In a 1,500 page manifesto, Breivik recommends using Call of Duty to train combat skills for an upcoming war with Islam. He also suggests that an obsession with massively-multiplayer role playing game World of Warcraft is a useful cover story to explain the time one is actually spending plotting attacks.
