Anders Behring Breivik

Anders Behring Breivik  is a Mass Murderer and Homegrown Terrorist who was the perpetrator of the 2011 Norway Attacks that killed 77 people and injured 319 others on July 22nd, 2011 in Oslo and Utøya, Norway.

Background
Anders Behring Breivik was born in Oslo, Norway on February 13th, 1979 to Wenche Behring, a nurse, and Jens David Breivik, a civil economist who also worked as a diplomat for the Norwegian embassies in London and Paris. He spent the first few years of his life in London until his parents divorced when he was a year old. Later on, Jens remarried to a diplomat and attempted to gain custody of Anders from his wife, but failed.

At the age of four while he was living in Oslo in Fritzners Gate, two reports had been made regarding concerns of Anders' mental health and it was urged that he be removed from parental care. One of them centered on a peculiar smile that he made based on the environment around him while the other focused on how he was being treated by his mother.

Breivik lived with his mother and half sister in the West End of Oslo and regularly visited his father and stepmother in France up until the stepmother divorced from his father when he was 12. Following this, Wenche remarried to an officer of the Norwegian Army.

At the age of 15, Breivik chose to be confirmed at the Lutheran Church of Norway.

It was described during his adolescent/teenage years that Breivik had become rebellious and even went as far as joining in the hip hop community in Oslo West and became a prolific graffiti artist. However he took his graffiti more seriously than his peers and was caught by the police on three occasions: two of them consisting of fines and one consisting of a notification being received by the Norwegian Child Welfare Services.

At 16, Breivik left the hip hop community following a falling out with his best friend. According to his mother, it was also at this age that Anders' father cut off all contact with him. His father begged to differ and claimed that it was Anders who cut off all contact with him and that he would have always welcomed him despite his destructive activities.

Since his adolescence, Anders spent most of his time on weight training and using anabolic steroids, he obsessed over his looks of appearing "big and strong", and developed some criticisms toward his parents for supporting the policies of the Norwegian Labour Party and his mother of being a moderate feminist.

During his school years, Breivik attended Smestad Grammar School, Ris Junior High, the Hartvig Nissen School, and the Oslo Commerce School (1995-1998). According to a former classmate, Breivik was described as an intelligent student who was physically stronger than others of the same age and took care of/protected people being bullied.

At some point in his adulthood, Breivik was given no military training and he was exempt from conscription in the Norwegian Army because the Norwegian Defence Security Department say that he was deemed "unfit to serve" at the mandatory conscript assessment that they were conducting.
