"There was a killer in Norway that murdered something close to 70 people 8 or 9 years ago."

Assuming you're talking about Breivik and the Utøya-massacre, that happened in 2011. And he is unlikely to ever "go free". He was sentenced to "containment" (sikring), which can extended indefinitely (and almost certainly will be).

My argument is that the guy is a psychopath and should be put down. Not that his containment should be up for debate. He killed 70 people. 70.
