Your punishment for Norway mass murderer

Apart from the obvious punishment (life imprisonment) it's already too late for the punishment I wished for this guy, a punishment which in fact would have reallly hit him in my opinion.

As it seems this guy planned right from the start to stay alive after the massacre the real punishment would be erasing his name, his pictures, his thoughts, his pamphlets from the internet and people's memory. Unfortunately in modern society this is impossible (40 or 50 years ago it would have been much easier). His Facebook pictures are all over the internet, news and newspapers, excerpts from his inflammatory pamphlets are cited everywhere.

He knows that his name will be remembered forever, he knows that there will be right wing people who will - in a few days or weeks - suggest that "we should at least discuss some of his points as not everything he wrote about muslims was completely wrong" or something along that line. His name remembered, his thoughts discussed. This is exactly what he wanted, this is where he succeeded, this is what makes the whole tragedy even worse and sadder.

idk. If anything he reminded the world of the persistent threat of white racism (or at least a brand of bigotry. This guy was no neo-nazi, but he was radically anti-Muslim at least), that everyone seems to have forgotten about in the last ten years. In the '90s in America the profile of a terrorist was the lonely White germanic male, someone like David Koresh or Tim McVeigh, and he may very well set back those of anti-Muslim sentiment, much like the terrorists of the 90s discredited radical right-wing movements

Certainly some nuts will discuss his ideas, but now it's more likely to only be nuts, since there is really no clear and present danger of Muslim predation in Norway, and his solution to said predation was to massacre a bunch of ethnic Norwegians

Now, if this guy were Russian or Israeli, it would be different
