The discussion centers on the unsettling demeanor of Anders Behring Breivik during his trial, where he displayed pride in his actions yet shed tears during a propaganda film portraying himself as a victim. Participants express disgust at his lack of remorse and his belief that he would repeat his actions, questioning the adequacy of Norway's legal system in punishing him. There is a debate on whether he should face consecutive sentences or be declared insane for a longer confinement, as a single 21-year sentence seems insufficient for his crimes. The morality of punishment versus revenge is also discussed, with some arguing that allowing him to "rot in jail" would be a more fitting consequence than a quick death, preventing him from achieving martyrdom. Overall, the conversation reflects deep concerns about justice, punishment, and the implications of Breivik's actions on society.

He started crying while the music of his youtube video was playing. So the music is what made him emotional.

Possibly though it seems more likely that the indicated start of his video made him emotional.

Well, today, during the gruelling, never-ending testimony of the Chief Pathologist detailing the autopsy reports of the deceased, the main prosecutor Bejer Engh broke down for a moment, and was seen quietly drying some tears from her face.

On Friday, 7 autopsy reports were done, today 12. 50 more to go.

Breivik himself is mildly interested, but haven't shown any emotions worth mentioning.
