Pen Pals of the Day: Not only has Kevin Forts, a 23-year-old from Massachusetts, publicly defendedAnders Breivik’s mass killing of 77 in Norway, but the two ARE PEN PALS. Breivik has written Forts: “I have received letters from supporters in 20 countries, but you appear to be someone who can write well. Yes, I am absolutely interested in discussing ideological issues with you and am thinking about how we can work together.”

Forts says the killer supported “multiculturalist values”:

“I believe it demonstrates a sense of nationalism and a moral conscience. … I believe that he used (the mass murders) as an unprecedented attack. I don’t believe that it should occur again, but I do believe that it was atrocious but necessary in that it has raised awareness for it and Breivik did that with the executions. … I dream of one day meeting Breivik or talking to him on the phone.”

Sweet jesus.
