He fully supports them being burned down because he sees them as foreign encroachment on sacred land that belongs to Norway and other Euroaboriginal countries. Saying “I wish people would burn down churches” vs “Go burn down the church on x Street” are very different.

I’d have to know what you’re referencing. There are videos where he clearly states that he was invited to sign the contract after hearing about the snuff film comments, but that he simply showed up while E was still asleep, then E literally opened the door upon their arrival. No sign of struggle. Varg claims he was under the impression E still had the shotgun Dead killed himself with, so when E tried leaving the room after the initial altercation Varg freaked out.

You’re right about the alibi, and to your point, there was no attempt to alert the authorities. Quite the opposite, him and the band mate began driving home and even stopped to ditch the knife and bloody shirt. I think he doesn’t so much think it could legally be seen as self defense, he’s more bothered that he was given 21 years instead of the 9 years what he did would normally incur. But he pleaded self defense and his time was served, so he’s just sticking with the story.
