Broken people break others. Can society heal by punishing… or by forgiving?When the one who destroys is themselves destroyed — what does that say about us all?
In the wake of horrific crimes, society often faces a fundamental question: Should justice focus solely on punishment — or is there still room for forgiveness?
The recent case of Tyler Robinson, who may face the death penalty or even execution by firing squad, has reignited this debate. Many argue that the harshest penalties are necessary to deter future crimes — that without serious consequences, there is little to lose, and therefore little reason for criminals to refrain from committing crimes. Harsh punishment, they say, is the only language that some will understand.
And yet, history gives us a radically different perspective.
(Picture: Jesus said; «Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.» – Luke 23:34, while being crucified. It represents an act of extreme mercy and forgiveness, where Jesus intercedes for the people responsible for his suffering and death, including the soldiers, religious leaders, and the crowd who mocked him).
In 1981, Pope John Paul II was shot and critically wounded by Mehmet Ali Ağca, a terrorist from Turkey. Against all expectations, the Pope survived. But what shocked the world even more was what he did later: He visited his would-be assassin in prison, spoke with him privately, and forgave him.
John Paul’s forgiveness did not erase the crime. Ağca still had to serve many years in prison. But the Pope’s act sent a powerful message: Forgiveness does not mean removing justice — it means choosing mercy in the midst of justice.
This raises a haunting question about Robinson’s case: What if someone close to the victims were to forgive him? It would not mean he walks free. It would not mean society abandons justice. But it would show that even in the face of darkness, the human heart can choose light.
At the same time, we must dare to face an uncomfortable truth: Those who kill are often deeply broken. Healthy minds do not commit such acts. Those who destroy are often themselves destroyed — products of trauma, neglect, and a world that failed to heal them. In this sense, every such tragedy is not just about one person, but a mirror of the society that shaped them.
Because in any society, the dynamics of human relationships follow a simple truth: 1. Those who are treated well often become well. 2. Those who are treated badly often become bad. So simple — and yet so profound. We are all in the same boat.
Justice protects society. Forgiveness heals souls. But prevention and compassion may heal society itself.
“Forgive, and you will be forgiven.” — Jesus (Luke 6:37)
And maybe one day, we will learn: To heal the world, we must first heal each other.

The Tyler Robinson case sends a chilling message to the world — when punishment fades, chaos rises.
Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty for Tyler Robinson, the man accused of assassinating conservative activist Charlie Kirk in Utah. Robinson could face one of the harshest punishments in U.S. law: death by firing squad.
Utah is one of only two U.S. states — along with South Carolina — that still allow this method of execution. The last person to be executed by firing squad in the United States was Ronnie Lee Gardner, who faced the same punishment in Utah in 2010. Robinson could be next.
This case has sharply divided the public. Some are celebrating Kirk’s death, while others are furious and see Robinson as a symbol of evil. The contrast reveals a deep fracture in society — one side applauding the act, the other demanding justice.
Yet beyond politics, this case carries a powerful lesson for the world: if someone chooses to commit a senseless and destructive act, they must pay the price. In many places, punishments have grown so lenient that they no longer scare anyone. And when people feel they have little to lose, they are more likely to take reckless risks. Weak justice systems can actually make the criminal more criminal, emboldening those who believe they will escape serious consequences.
This is why some argue that punishment must be strong enough to deter, not just to punish. The death penalty, while controversial, is seen by many as a way to send an unmistakable message:
“If you destroy lives, you will lose your own freedom — or your life.”
Whether or not Robinson is ultimately executed, this case has already become more than just a trial — it has become a warning to the world.
Justice must be clear. Consequences must be real. Because if they aren’t, chaos will grow.
Dr. Hannah Cole, a criminal psychologist, summarized it clearly:
“When punishment becomes uncertain or too soft, high-risk individuals feel they have nothing to lose. That’s when society becomes most dangerous — when people stop fearing consequences. Deterrence isn’t about cruelty. It’s about protecting the innocent.”
And there is evidence supporting that view. Nations such as the United Arab Emirates and Qatar, which maintain strict penalties for violent crimes, have some of the lowest murder rates in the world. Meanwhile, many countries with softer penalties have seen rising violent crime. This contrast highlights a harsh truth: leniency can invite lawlessness, but strong deterrence can preserve peace.

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele is a very popular man. He won a landslide re-election a few days ago, and people in El Salvador love him. Nearly 85% of the people voted for him. Not only that. He also received a rock-star welcome Thursday at the CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference) as he urged people around the world to «fight against dark forces.»
Bukele has done a great job. He has fixed most of the problems in El Salvador. «It took 50 years, two wars, 250,000 deaths, a third of the population displaced, and a near miracle to get our country back,» Bukele said in the speech.
He also had a warning to the next U.S. president: «The next president of the United States must not only win an election, he must have the vision, the will, and the courage to do whatever it takes, and above that, he must be able to identify the underlying forces that will conspire against him,» Bukele said at the gathering in National Harbor, Maryland, south of Washington.
«These dark forces are already taking over your country,» he added.
People in El Salvador were sleeping They didn`t see what was going on. Gang criminals recruited young people to join them. They started as criminals, but then they changed and transformed into a group of unscrupulous terrorists. In addition; most of them perform Satanic rituals. And this is well documented, Bukele said.
The government back then didn`t deal with the disease. Nor the next, and the ones after that. They didn`t see it. They didn`t understand it.
It started mild but became worse and worse, and this is what we can see in other places like New York where crime and drugs have become the daily norm. (Editor: What about Sweden?).
In less than a decade, gangs took control of the country and our society. They evolved into a parallel government controlling elections, and even political parties. Every aspect of the daily life of most of the people was controlled by the gangs.
The murder capital of the world is a tragic title to hold. But we have removed corrupt judges, and corrupt attorneys, and prosecutors, Bukele said with a big applause. The prosecutors cooperated with the gang members. They sat them free.
The corrupt system worked in tandem with the so-called International Community. In addition; we had a lot of fake news, just like the United States.
Unelected bureaucrats are trying to instate public policy. Who elected them? They don`t have a democratic mandate. If they want to sit at the table, they should run for office. Let the people vote, Bukele said.
The same things are happening all over the world. Not only in El Salvador but all over the world.
At the end of the speech, Bukele said high taxes aren`t a problem in the United States. The problem is that it`s not funding the government. The problem is very shocking, he said. The real problem is that you pay high taxes only to uphold the illusion that you are funding the government, which you are not. It`s shocking, but it’s true, he said.
The government is funded by money printing. Paper backed with paper. A bubble that will burst.
The situation is worse than it seems because if most Americans and the rest of the world were to become aware of this price, confidence in your currency would be lost. The dollar will fall, and the Western Civilization with it.
(Editor: Bukele didn`t talk about Bitcoin, but he and El Salvador adopted Bitcoin as an official currency in 2021).
President Nayib Bukele turned El Salvador from the Most Dangerous country in the world to the safest in the Western hemisphere. Bukele must be doing something right. What a rock star. He will continue to fight against the Global elites and globalization.
The people of El Salvador have woken up, and so can you, president Nayib Bukele said.

Stacy Abrams is nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize as Georgia investigates her group for voter registration fraud. Who cares? Not Lars Haltbrekken, who is the man that nominated Abrams. Lars Halbrekken is a member of Norway`s Socialist party and nominated Stacy Abrams for her work on voter registration and rights.
A lot of people went nuts when they heard about this earlier this week. But this is not the first time people went nuts regarding the Nobel Peace Prize. The last time people went nuts was when Barrack Obama won the prize. But why? Nobody didn`t understand that. Nor Barrack Obama.
This is very embarrassing for the Nobel Peace Prize Committee, but also for Norway. Giving Obama the prize was a shame and people called the Committee clowns. They lost a lot of credibility and they did not have their annual Peace Prize Concerts since then. They say lack of money is the reason, but we all know why they have a low profile.
Nominating Stacy Abrams is also a shame because we don`t know what happened about the election in Georgia yet. But we can assume that Lars Haltbrekken is satisfied because he is obviously not a Trump supporter.
He is a Norwegian environmentalist and was elected to the Parliament of Norway in 2017 for the Socialist Left Party. In the ’90s Lars tried to prevent natural gas power plants in Norway. A man who grew up in Trondheim.
Ingrid Galadriel Aune Falck is another one from Trondheim. She is a Viking. Well, she was. Right after Qanon (dressed as a Viking from Scandinavia) and his friends stormed Capitol Hill on January 6th, she resigned as a leader of a Viking re-enactment group.
Historically, the Vikings do have a shady reputation, and events in modern times have not made that easier to get past. You know, the Nazis and all that, Ingrid wrote on her blog.
For years, MSM in Norway has talked a lot about the Vikings, and for some people, it is very important to be part of something strong and powerful. A system that can make fear. But Ingrid didn`t want to be part of an organization that has become a Nazi party.
Qanon-shaman (Jake Angeli) with his «horned costume» stormed the US congress, but he also had Viking-tattoos on his body. One of them was the logo of Ingrid`s former re-enactment company, Hands-on History.
Let’s be clear; most Viking re-enactors are kind and respectful, regardless of their level of geekiness. However, every basket has some rotten eggs. And some of these rotten eggs don`t even try to disguise their white supremacist smell, Ingrid wrote on her blog.
The same can be said about the US. Qanon doesn`t represent the Christian community on the right side. He is one of the few extremists.
At the end of Ingrid`s blog, she wrote; I`m letting go of a beast I can`t control. And from now on I`m choosing to laugh instead of getting angry. Sorry guys, I`m out!
Last year, the police in Norway said the biggest threat wasn`t Al-Qaida, but the Nazi`s. A country that is struggling with domestic terrorists.
Philip Manshaus is the last known terrorist who was radicalized in Trondheim. A 21-year-old man who was active on the internet on various forums for anti-immigrant groups. He was armed with multiple weapons and opened fire in a mosque in Norway.
One person was injured before the attacker was overpowered by a 75-year old worshiper. Hours after the attack, the dead body of his stepsister was found in his own house. He murdered his own step-sister (17) who was adopted from China.
Philip Manshaus said in the court that there is a Genocide going on in Norway.
Manshaus was inspired by New Zealand-terrorist Brenton Harrison Tarrant, a 28-year-old man from Australia. He attacked Christchurch in New Zealand on 15 March 2019. He began his attack at the Al Noor Mosque in the suburb of Riccarton and continued at Linwood Islamic Centre. He killed 51 people and injured 40.
Tarrant is a self-avowed white supremacist, and Australia, where the gunman was from, has also seen an increase in xenophobia, racism, and Islamophobia. Tarrant also said that he like Communist China (editor; we all know what they do to Christians and Muslims).
Tarrant was inspired by Fjotolf Hansen (born Anders Behring Breivik), a terrorist who committed the 2011 Norway attacks. On 22 July 2011, he killed eight people by detonating a van bomb amid Regjeringskvartalet in Oslo, then killed 69 participants of a Workers’ Youth League (AUF) summer camp in a mass shooting on the island of Utoya.
Since his imprisonment, Fjotolf Hansen has identified himself as a fascist and a Nazi, who practices Odinism and used counter jihadist rhetoric to support ethnonationalism.
He admitted to the crimes and said the purpose of the attack was to save Norway and Western Europe from a Muslim takeover, and that the Labour Party had to «pay the price» for letting down Norway and the Norwegian people.
After his arrest, he referred to himself as «the greatest monster since Quisling (a Nazi who overtook Norway during World War II).
Fjotolf also alluded to himself as the future regent of Norway, master of life and death, while calling himself «inordinately loving» and «Europe`s most perfect knight since WWII. He was convinced that he was a warrior in a «low-intensity civil war» and had been chosen to save his people.
He described plans to carry out further «executions of categories A, B, and C traitors» by the thousands, the psychiatrists included, and to organize Norwegians in reservations for the purpose of selective breeding.
Genocide in Norway has happened before, and it is possible that it can happen again because history tends to repeat itself. We know the history of Norway`s five national minorities. We know the way of life of jews, Kven, Gypsies, and Romani people (tater).
The minorities have always been treated very badly. Jews were sent to Holocaust and killed during WW II. While Danish Jews were granted ordinary civil rights in 1814, the Constitutional Assembly in Eidsvoll, Norway, that same year went in the opposite direction. Jews were banned in Norway.
The 1800s saw emerging nationalism and a vision of one nation and one people in Norway, and there was little room for being different.
The abuse of power continued in Norway, Now in the form of assimilation.
The Child Protection Act of 1896 allowed the authorities to take children away from all travelers (tater), while the Vagrancy Act of 1900 made the itinerant lifestyle a crime.
Later on, modern genetics came to have a significant influence in Norway and on Norwegian government policy from the 1920s onwards. This hit the Romani people (tater) hard. Alongside groups such as alcoholics, criminals, and so-called “tater” were seen as carrying undesirable genes.
The Sterilisation Act of 1934 allowed for forced sterilization of people with serious mental conditions, people who were mentally deficient, or people whose mental development was severely impaired.
It has been documented that up until 1977 at least 125 Norwegians of traveling ancestry were sterilized, while Romani people (tater) were sterilized without basis in law. Many of them were left with physical and mental scars, and several later committed suicide.
Lobotomy was also carried out on Romani people (tater), resulting in death for some of them.
The Portuguese neurologist Egas Moniz won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1949 for his now-discredited procedure of the lobotomy, which involves serving nerve connections within the brain of a mentally ill person.
Today the lobotomy is considered a barbaric treatment for mental illness, and that`s why relatives of lobotomy patients now have started a campaign to have the prize rescinded.
Mr. DeForest Kelley (as Dr. Leonard «Bones» McCoy) once said; My God, man, drilling holes in his head`s not the answer. The artery must be repaired. Now put away your butcher knives and let me save this patient before it`s too late.
What will tomorrow`s historians say about today`s cancer treatments, such as chemotherapy and immunotherapy? It remains to see. People are still suffering and have pain even today. Fortunately not by lobotomy.
In 1897, the government delegated the work to assimilate the Romani people (tater) to a private organization, commonly known as the Norwegian Mission for the Homeless. The mission ran children`s homes, schools, and labor colonies for Romani people with the express aim of eradicating the Romani people/ tater culture.
One important strategy was to remove children from their parents and then raise them as «good Christians» and settled Norwegians in children’s homes. In total at least 1,500 children were separated from their parents, often growing up without knowing about their traveler (tater) background.
Many of these children suffered violence and abuse. More than one hundred families of Romani people/tater descent were sent to Svanviken labor colony in Nordmore to be «weaned off» their traditional way of life and become «good Christians».
The Norwegian Mission for the Homeless continued its activities in Svanviken until 1989, but the Norwegian government is still kidnapping children even today. They take 5 kids from their parents every single day.
The Norwegian government is breaking civil human rights and many of these cases end up in the European Court of Human Rights in Haag. Many of the cases I have heard of is shocking.
The human rights are pretty clear: You have a right to life. Art 3; freedom from torture and inhuman or degrading treatment. Art 4; freedom from slavery and forced labor. Art 5; right to liberty and security. Art 6; right to a fair trial, and Art 7; No punishment without law.
Will Ferrell Hates Norway in a new Super Bowl commercial. Not for any crimes, Nazism, Vikings, or White supremacists, but because they have too much electic vehicles.
Author Hannah Arendt wrote the book «The Origins of Totalitarianism» in which she discussed how it was possible for a democratic state such as Germany to turn into a cold-blooded totalitarian state.
Arendt makes the point that a totalitarian system may become even worse than dictatorships, as the latter implements fear of death when speaking up against the authorities, but totalitarian states do the same, but in a more subtle way.
The aim of totalitarian systems is to control every aspect of a person`s life, his views on the family, genders, his feelings towards the church, religion, and every aspect of life are to be controlled.
In such states, the population is held in fear of repercussions from the police and state authorities, in constant fear of losing their jobs, their reputation, and friends. Fear becomes the tool to keep the population in check. Nobody dares to say much, out of trepidation for what may happen then.
One of Arendt`s main points was that precisely because modern democracies incorporates well-developed institutions and the hierarchical structure, people tend to obey orders without daring to think freely.
They view themselves as part of a system with little or no personal responsibility.
Arendt found that it was not the desire to be brutal to certain ethnic groups such as Jews and Gypsies, that was the root for the «obedience towards the state» that permeated the German society.
It was the indifference, lack of empathy and willingness to obey status quo that permeated the German population.
Since groupthink was vital in this society, no one dared to step out of the group. Those who did quickly ended up in the same concentration camps where intellectuals dissidents joined the Jews and others who were unwanted.
The point is that societies that cultivate just laws prosper.
