SKIEN, Norway (AP) — Norwegian mass killer Anders Behring Breivik is appearing at a parole hearing. He seemed more focused on spreading white supremacist propaganda than gaining an improbable early release from prison. The far-right fanatic killed 77 people in massacres in Norway in 2011. He was sentenced to 21 years in prison. That term can be extended indefinitely. But under Norwegian law, Breivik is eligible to seek parole after serving the first 10 years of his sentence. Breivik walked into a prison gymnasium-turned-courtroom Tuesday with white supremacist messages pinned to his blazer and his bag. He held up a sign with the same message and made Nazi salutes.
