Imagine the field day the censorship brigade are gonna have with this. I blame Marilyn Manson and Ozzy Osbourne myself 😉

Mr. Pointy, I can confirm that, they did eat his penis together first. Unfortunatly I still haven't found out what the cause of death was.
Ally - I knew that but I was trying to keep it PG13.
I'm guessing that the cause of death was being eaten by a cannibal pervert 🙂

It's a strange case given that the victim (aka lunch🙂) was a volunteer. A charge of murder does seem a bit harsh but EEWWW!!!
 
Eww! Thats so disgusting. I say lock him up in a cell with no food and let him eat himself.
 
LMAO @ grrarrg

I mean, how did he get killed, which the answer to is btw, he got stabbed several times, I dunno where yet.
 
He deserves a real punishment ! WTF with what I've heard ??? That he would be condemn to 5 month in jail ??? only ???
I hope i misunderstood !!!
 
Oh my god that is sooo sick!!!!!!!!!!! how could anyone do that!!!!
i cant believe that they actually both ate him i mean the victim as well!!! ewwwwww gross!!!

you would have thought that if the victim really wanted to die he would have found some other way other thatn being eaten. that is just SICK!!!

Sorry Allycat, I sorta knew that was what you meant. Just me trying to make light of a horrible situation. I do that sometimes without thinking - I'm not having a go at you at all.
 
I didnt think u were, just though u didn't get it, sorry.

And Frenchy Faith, it was 5 years not 5 months
 
This it the part where I state my opinion and every one disagrees, and then the part where I don't care begins.

I'm pro-suicide, it's your life, end it if you want to. Therefore, I'm pro assisted suicide, if it's sure that the person you helped die, wanted to die, you shouldn't be charged with anything.

In this case, the eaten guy wanted to die, and agreed to be eaten, he asked the "killer" to help him knowing that after his death, he would be eaten. The other guy did what he asked. The only one that got hurt (eaten guy) expressed his constentiment. That should be the end of the story.

Why must they punish the guy that ate him? The dead guy, who is the only one who should decide what to do with his life, and his body, decided he wanted to end his life, decided Armin was going to do it, and chose to let him eat him afterwards. That should be the end of it. Saying he shouldn't have eaten him because that's wrong implies that the government should decide what is good or wrong for people, which in turn implies that should decide a moral code for everyone and follow it. It shouldn't. It should (if its meant to exist) keep people safe from others, but exactly in this case both killer and victim were perfectly safe and both agreed to what was going to happen. No one should be punished.

Punishing Armin is like charging with attempt of murder someone who tried to kill him or herself.
 
I see your point Lorne, and I'm actually not here to argue it, per se...I agree with the idea of euthanasia (attempted suicide in cases where the person is in an extreme amount of pain and no longer wants to live with it) but I do not support assisted suicide other than that. I've known many people who were suicidal and who truly wanted to die and later recovered to live what is now a full, normal, and happy life without thoughts of suicide.

Also, if movies only fed this man's fantasy, then doing it might have further fed it. Maybe next time, he won't ask so nicely. Maybe next time, he'll just kill. It's better to punish him for this and hopefully prevent any further behavior like this on his part-also, a psychiatrist may be well in order.
 
With the point of people who were suicidal, and later recovered. It doesn't matter. We don't know how the future will be, we live in the present and all the actions we perform are in the present, even if they are done thinking of accomplishing something in the future. It's important to note that you 100% responsible of all those actions.

If you are suicidal for the stupidest reason, you are still entitled to do it. Of course you are responsible of the action, by killing yourself you are giving up on any possible happiness in the future in this life. But you still made the choice, it's your life, do with it as you please.

With the second point you make, that's true, but first, this guy wasn't stupid, and that was proven by how he waited to eat someone until he completely knew that man wanted to die. By this I mean he's not evil (in normal moral terms), he did the best he could in his case. It's pretty likely from a psychological point of view, that he would stay that way. Blood and guts in your stomach don't eliminate your intelligence. Maybe a psychiatric evaluation should be in order, just to be sure he still thinks in that way (only killing someone willing to die), but he shouldn't be punished.
 
While I don't fully agree wilth your point on suicide, I do see your point as far as the man's punishment. But there should DEFINITELY be a psychiatric evaluation done.
 
Yeah, I agree with the psychiatric evaluation, but I must stress that it should be "moral-less". It shouldn't be about "eating people is wrong", it should be about making sure he wouldn't eat, kill or hurt someone that didn't express their agreement.

And in this particular case, by reading serial killer profiles and everything, and seeing how Armin acted, I would really doubt he would kill someone without asking. He's not that stupid. I think that's what the psychiatric evaluation would end up saying, but it still should be done, even if its only purpose is to convince other people that he isn't dangerous.
 
im with Jacklyn on this one. i agree with euthanasia, to end someones suffering. I think that this guy should be evaluated. But i still think that if he has had an obsession with wanting to kill and eat someone since he was a child then mabye he is dangerous. whos to say that actually eating a human being hasnt fueld his obsession more. that mabye next time he wont care whether he agreed to it or not.
 
Eating the guy either fueled his obsession or finished it. If it finished it, he won't harm anyone. If he fueled it more, he will probably do it again, but he doesn't have the profile of an assaulter, he was really careful.

Why else would he have recorded everything and keep proof of the other persons agreement?

While an evaluation needs to be done, it would most likely reveal that he still wants to eat people, but still cares about his liberty, so he wouldn't assault and kill.

I just realized I'm beating a dead horse, and it ain't getting any deader.
 
Glad I just ate dinner before reading this. Ew. How could you eat someone? And how could someone 'let' themselves get eaten. We were just talking about cannibals in global studies yesterday...
 
I don't know if this has been mentioned already but did you know that it's LEGAL to be a cannibal? At least in the UK it is!

So you could eat someone as much as you want, just as long as there is some sort of written permission slip - and as long as you don't kill them cos you'd get charged for murder.

Sick isn't it?
 
I don't really see why there should be a law against it. We are allowed to eat animals. Humans are animals too. Ergo, we can eat humans.
 
But why sould it be made Legal?? there has to be at least something wrong with it other wise there would not be so much fuss made about someone beinbg eaten by another human. i mean you hear stories of people being eaten by wild animals (well i was gonna say all of the time but its not) quite frequently, but when it is another person that hos done the eating and not an animal then it is a complete different story. there has to be something wrong with it other wise nobody would be making sich a fuss over it. I think that there deffinetly should be a law made against cannibalism.
