(AP) OSLO, Norway - The right-wing extremist who confessed to a massacre of 77 people in Norway compared on Monday the pain he caused the families of his victims to his own situation, saying he lost contact with his friends and family after the July 22 attacks.

Anders Behring Breivik, 33, showed no remorse as he continued his shocking testimony about his shooting spree at the annual summer youth camp of the governing Labor Party.

Calling the rampage "necessary," Breivik compared being shunned by those close to him to the grief of the bereaved.

"The only difference was that for my part it was a choice," he said.

Breivik has confessed to the bombing and shooting rampage but rejects criminal guilt, saying the victims had betrayed their country by embracing immigration. Even the defense admits there is virtually no chance of an acquittal, so the key issue to be determined in the trial is whether Breivik is criminally insane.

The self-styled crusader apologized to the family of a pub owner who was among the eight people killed in the blast outside the government offices in Oslo, saying it was not his intention to kill "civilians."

Prosecutor Stein Holden asked him if he wanted to express a similar apology to the families of the other victims, including the 69 killed on the youth camp on Utoya island.

"No I don't," Breivik said. "Utoya is a political indoctrination camp."

"I see all multicultural political activists as monsters, as evil monsters who wish to eradicate our people, our ethnic group, our culture and our country," he said.

Jon Hestnes, who heads a support group for victim's families and survivors, told Norwegian broadcaster NRK that Breivik's apology was "pathetic."

Speaking calmly, Breivik said he used a handgun to kill victims if the distance was less than 10 meters. Otherwise he used his rifle.

Asked why he spared one man who survived the shooting spree, Breivik said he thought it was because the man's appearance made him look "right wing-oriented."

"When I looked at him I saw myself," Breivik said. "I think that was the reason that I didn't fire shots at him."

If found sane Breivik would face 21 years in prison though he can be held longer if deemed a danger to society. If sentenced to psychiatric care, in theory he would be released once he's no longer deemed psychotic and dangerous.

Breivik is a VERY SANE anti-christ fascist as many in european tribes who did the 9-11 inside job on behalf of the khazars who control them psychologically. Slobodan Milosevic and Radovan Karadzic were covered up by the european tribes and a FALSE FLAG of 9-11 was painted. Honorable Dr Alan Sabrosky, Dr Niels Harrit, Dr Steven Jones, Dr James Fetzer and the architects for 9-11 truth have all proven that 2 planes hit, 3 buildings fell, Building SEVEN mysteriously fell in controlled demolition style and NANOTHERMITE chips were found in tons of quantities as well as the molten iron streams. The european cant hide their true deceptive face. The ANTI-AMERICAN Federal reserve SCAM is run by khazar banksters that represents the tables of the money changers that Jesus overturned.

FBI is Odiously and criminally negligent not to sieze the backers of FED and the FED itself and audit it.

Maybe khazars have goods on the FBI and things like the ones on the secret service criminals and prostitutes.

Brievik is the kosher fruit of decades of european lies during the bosnian genocide, the appeasement of the serbs, and the service to the khazars and the 9-11 false flag lies. he is the kosher fruit and there might be many more humungous fruits from the seed of lies europe sowed in the previous decades.

Darrel Myatt is one more Brievik in the USA in the making

I wish CBS and other media would stop showing pictures of this insipid creepy-crawly monster. I'm longing for the judge to sentence him to a mental asylum and turn him into a zombie.

@NB62, you're asking a lot if you think the Republican, AmeriKan audience will read anything beyond a title and image summary, and most interesting, the murdering lunatic that we're talking about aligns with their political ideals. They're exactly the same.

Will somebody put a bullet in this guy's head, PULEEZE! Oh, I forgot, this is Norway. Only innocent people are allowed to be killed. That way we show we are "civilized."
