He had to leave school in Norway because he was being horribly bullied according to him and his mother; not his fault. He's the victim. He got kicked out of university in Alabama, he's the victim again. He lied to Norwegian papers about the whole situation, it wasn't some ridiculous post-9/11 fearmongering potential terrorist thing, turns out people couldn't stand him and basically he got kicked out because he was an intolerable jerk too often. Still, no bad intent on his part. He stalked some girl and made her family move to Chicago and followed them there. Then there was a fight involving him and two of the girl's relatives; again, he was the victim. They attacked him unprovoked, he wasn't doing anything wrong. Now, this. Again, all unintentional on his part, again, he's the victim, again, he did nothing wrong, it was all someone else. Kind of strains credulity that he keeps getting into shit and it's never ever his fault, he never intended anything to happen like what happened, it's all other people victimizing him, everyone else is to blame. | ||

It's because stuff such as this actually comes up so ridiculously often, all over the US. Yeah, it might be a very bad representation, but then again, we know a lot about your political system etc. The reason you're not picking on Sweden, for example, is because you probably don't know too much about Sweden, we aren't in the spotlight like the US. That's simply the downside of being a superpower, everyone has their eyes on the US. Germany On April 24 2012 17:28 dezi wrote: Only in america ... joke-country keeps being a joke-country.

Sweden and Germany must be full of dicks like you right? According to your way of thinking, I guess we should believe your WHOLE country is one giant dick just because a few of you were assholes. Stop with your shit. | ||

From what I've been reading about his past living here in the US and even growing up in Norway, he sure does seem to consistently have problems with a lot of people, and it's always unintentional. He had to leave school in Norway because he was being horribly bullied according to him and his mother; not his fault. He's the victim. He got kicked out of university in Alabama, he's the victim again. He lied to Norwegian papers about the whole situation, it wasn't some ridiculous post-9/11 fearmongering potential terrorist thing, turns out people couldn't stand him and basically he got kicked out because he was an intolerable jerk too often.

Kind of strains credulity that he keeps getting into shit and it's never ever his fault, he never intended anything to happen like what happened, it's all other people victimizing him, everyone else is to blame. That's the same way I read everything... I would not be inclined to believe his side of the story. Perhaps.. just perhaps, he did something wrong and is now facing the consequences. | ||

Where is the proof this was an aggrevated assault with a deadly weapon, other than this man who punched him and his angry friends?

I thought one was innocent until proven otherwise, but apparently not..... Today was sentencing, so it has already been proven otherwise. You can take the events that occurred and interpret them how you like but they lend themselves either way, he wasn't trying to hurt anyone and there were only minimal injuries to two people, or he was trying to hurt them or didn't care about hurting them and it was lucky that only two people got minimal injuries. Apparently after he was punched in the nose he screamed that he was going to kill everyone according to testimony, of course you've already decided based on the flimsiest of rationales that all the testimony except his is bullshit. | ||

If you surround a car and mob it and you get run over, it's your damn fault. If you run into the highway and get run over by a car, the driver is not at fault. The road was closed for a music festival and he drove down it not once but twice, the fact that he did it twice probably looked pretty bad to the DA and judge. He waived his right to a jury trial and had a bench trial and the judge convicted him. | ||

Except the driver continued to drive down a one way street during a music festival. Oh yeah, the wrong way down the street. And he didn't stop once he realized it. | ||
