Except there has been a trail, which is currently ongoing, and that's why he is in prison.

Going to need some more sources for this to be considered an accuarte representation of events. Apart from a norwegian newspaper, what kind of source do you want? Any other source. This piece omits a huge amount of the information required to make a judgement. I´ve been trying to find another source, there isn´t one. Only the norwegian newspaper, and a thread on facebook apparently, say anything about this.

I didn't look too deeply into it, but from what I understand he's already awaiting sentencing? So that means he's already been found guilty o.o

EDIT: Seriously though, some US souce on this would be preferable since this could be horribly baised. can we stop with the retarded country bashing already? seriously its getting a bit out of hand when anything that happens in the usa its "herpa derp derp USA omgawd derp herp!" I don't bash a country for any single thing they do.. obviously small happenings in one part of a country are not interelated with the rest of the country and its population. 1. It was a joke man, calm down. 2. The reason why there's a lot of USA bashing is not, as you might think, because europeans like to nitpick some rare isolated events. 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.
No, there is a lot of US bashing because the media sucks and there is a lot of gullible people on the internet and TL that will take everything they read at face value. Look no farther than this thread and see that over half the comments have made a judgement without hearing both sides of the story. I could probably get most of them to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide, that terrible chemical that can kill you if you inhale it, aka water. I could easily link to a half dozen threads of misleading or false OPs followed by typical US bashing.

No, he hasn't been sentenced yet, but hes spent 6 months in jail, most of it in isolation..

Are you sure this isn't part of a book? Honestly, do people know what they're reading is not fact, but merely story telling? Now had there been a video showing his first person view as well as a street view of the entire day, maybe I could believe it, but seriously the way this "news article" is written is absurd. I have no opinion on whether or not hes guilty of anything, but to get all hot and bothered because of something written this way is really quite silly.

Lol, what is considered better? If the formula for finding "better" is x amount of trial stories that make it to the media and are shown in a bad light divided by the total number of trial stories that make it to the media, then perhaps yes by that formula the USA may have a lesser system than the middle east. It truly is silly to argue about whether or not our system is flawed, but trying to quantify how flawed compared to others using a far far more flawed logic of "I keep hearing about your screw ups, but never about things going well, clearly you ONLY have screw ups, god you're awful" is not only meaningless, but quite stupid.
But all Americans are overweight, racist, ignorant, retarded assholes and there is nothing I can do about it.

No, he hasn't been sentenced yet, but hes spent 6 months in jail, most of it in isolation.. That's what happens when someone is not granted bail.

my mom ran over my toe accidently once.
i think im going to sue the council for not making the roads wide enough.

I've been unable to find any additional info on the web, but I did see court documents available for the assault in Chicago, so no... I don't think this is part of a book lol. I'd like more info too, but I don't see how some of you find this so unbelievable- funny talking foreigner in the wrong place at the wrong time. Hell of a bad day for sure... I've had some like that (not nearly as bad fortunately!).
It turns out that the angry witnesses are all related or friends
I couldn't help but laugh at that part.

Is being physically assaulted not enough to grant the right to use lethal power in that state? I´m sure you should atleast have the right to flee?
Mobbing bad drivers sounds awesome though, no need for traffic police ever again.

Im only surprised the angry mob didnt shoot him. If people would just carry guns like they should maybe that womans toe would have been unhurt.

Don't want to be a dick but I'm curious. Could the story of the Norwegian psycho from months before had any influence on this?

I wish I didn't live in the United States, maybe then I can live in this utopia that people call 'the outside world'. Where everybody is a super model, morally perfect, shits rainbows and pisses excellence.

You can't be granted bail, when you have already been convicted of the first sentence, Thus why I don't understand him being in isolation, just because hes got an ongoing trial.

Consider the possibility of having a townful of Americans capable of recognizing a Norwegian person. Unless outsiders need to use an armpatch or something there.
Or are you implying that the harshness of the sentence has something to do with where the person is from? No way, maybe in a lesser land but certainly not in the U.S.A
