His mother cried tears and acted as if the world had ended and her children wont ever recover. SO yes, of all the witnesses. He appears to be the only sane person. That's if you assume they are wrong. If the witnesses are right it's completely understandable to react to (what would then be) blatant lies by leaving and showing emotions. | ||

For all we know the sentence was correct. All we have for information is extremely biased articles from a single norwegian newspaper. We have nowhere enough info to say this is terrible punishment. | ||

No, you didn't recap anything, you mocked people based on you assuming that you yourself know more about the situation then the people that were actually there and that the judge is stupid. With the information we have, why does it make sense for the witnesses to lie, and not the guy? | ||

The US do have (generally) longer punishments for crimes so it's plausible that some people can accept that he is guilty of everything and still think it's too harsh of a punishment (there's been several people in this thread that have expressed such a opinion). | ||

how is everyone in this story so retarded? The guy was driving around in a rental car, oblivious of people partying in the street, and instead of just stopping and getting out and asking for directions he just keeps going? If he's so culture shocked that he can't even get out of the car then he shouldn't be driving around in another country to begin with. Then there's the retarded people in the streets, instead of helping this guy out they punch him in the face and act like a bunch of monkeys. Then accusing him of terrorism? A Norwegian? LOL Honestly, I feel the most sympathies for the police/jury that actually has to try and comprehend what really happened. | ||

They punched him in the face after he started almost driving into people. Who accused him of being a terrorist in relation to this incident? Did you even read anything before belching all that out? ... Not that there really is anything to read at all on the subject - part of the reason this thread is so pathetic. | ||

So apparently he wasn't considered a terrorist threat, it was just one of those draconian university disciplinary bullshit kangaroo courts that wanted him gone because he was an asshole (this seems to be a recurring theme for Mr. Larsgard, getting into trouble in numerous places because people think he's acting like an asshole and him then whining about being unfairly targeted). The more I learn about him the more I think he wasn't just some poor innocent guy who panicked and didn't intend to hurt anyone and boohoohoo, he seems like he has trouble with getting into fights or otherwise unpleasant situations with people. | ||

A Norwegian court may at worst have convicted him for negligent bodily harm. Maybe not even that depending on how rationally he could be expected to act when getting your nose broken. In a Norwegian court that has a maximum sentence of 3 years, I believe. The guy punching would be at risk of a more serious charge because there was intent involved. This is all hypothetical though and based on nearly no real infomation about the case. It seems he has resided in America for a long time though. In his interview he has a distinct American accent. So it is not like he is a tourist on holiday victimized by the American legal system. He lives there, so in many ways he is more American than Norwegian. | ||

But I mean, I wouldn't worry about being arrested. So long as you don't get involved with drugs or commit a crime you really don't have much to worry about. overt you have a lot of good points in this discussion! I have been in the south and everyone is so nice and friendly. The things that I feel is frightening about the US however, is that you can go to jail and possibly ruin much of your life because of silly mistakes you were unaware was wrong to do or because you were a place you did not know was wrong to be in. In my mind are those people who are in jail, people who are criminals with an intention of doing crimes and not for people who broke a rule they did not know of. Here I feel that you should get a fine for breaking a rule. In this case I get that the people witnessed this feel that the man is a danger for other people in the way he acted and therefore should be put away from the society so that he can not endanger more people, but I think it sad that if this was not intentional etc, that he is put away with criminals for a long time for a mistake of no criminal intention. | ||
