21 years for what he did seems a little weak to me. What happens after 21 years if they consider him no longer a threat, should he be free? I personally don't think so. I think there is a difference between rehabilitation and punishment. He needs to be punished and 21 years isn't enough punishment in my mind.
Our crime rate is a joke and I think it’s due to the society that we live in. Watching the news each night, it’s like a bunch of animals are living amongst us. Not sure what the answer is..................

Norway will keep him in jail until he's pushing daisies.
Their system is different from ours, they don't just lock you up then let you out after your sentence is over. Think of it more as a parole hearing, except much much more difficult to get through.
