The trial of Anders Behring Breivik

[Sigurd]

This piece of garbage is giving the media everything they want about the dangers of video games.

He is doing more damage than Jack Thompson.

I have been following the case a little and about the part where he explains about the weapons he acquired and video games, the prosecutors wanted to know if he chose the weapons based on the games he played (Modern warfare etc.).
Breivik explained that it was the other way around. He first acquired the guns and then consciously acquired video games where these guns were used, to train with the different optics, as he so delicately puts it. And further, he uses these games as preparation for his assault, to desensitize. But it is not enough, and as he explains, he needs to condition his mentality over a longer period by mental exercises to be able to go through with this horrible but necessary act. Without it he wouldn't be able to endure the police questioning and the trial.

He basically rejects the prosecutors insinuation that it was because of the games that he planed the details of the assault.
