That actually would not be inconsistent with my position. Mine is about mass criminalization (ala Prohibition/War on Drugs) that insists its not demanding mass imprisonment or death.
A society that criminalized almost nothing but mass murder and would execute them (or even just life in prison) fits within this moral framework. My critique of Norway is that they wish to pretend they aren't doing the former because Brevik isn't a "criminal" or "imprisoned" he's just never going to be allowed back into society. Revealed preferences put a lie to their claim about avoiding what they're actually doing. If they were honest, they would admit the possibility he should already be released.
