Episode #132 - Anders Breivik: What to do with terrorist mass murderers behind bars?

March 23, 2022 • Phil Gurski / Atle Mesoy • Season 5 • Episode 132

There are two types of terrorists: those who die/are killed in their attacks and those who are not. The latter usually end up in prison for long periods of time. Then what? Borealis talks once again with Norwegian CT analyst Atle Mesoy on the infamous Anders Breivik case from 2011.
