I wasn't naive like when I was 18 but this case and website showed me how there's completely strange and evil people out there - can't find the words to describe them. I tend to be curious, so I visited the site but I think you have to become a member to actually see videos. I didn't want to see it BUT I did read what was in it. I wish I could get it out of my mind and I'm shocked beyond belief that any human could do what he did. I can't even tell anyone some of the details, he did. The owner of this site and his customers talk about the details of these videos...as if they're watching a chicken being prepared for dinner. The owner gave his own written summary of the video and how he called it a night, then self pleasured himself. I just don't understand this kind of thinking and it scares me.
Even more shocking is - there are people who seek this out. What kind of person wants to watch a real murder. It wasn't a simple murder either - its what he did after that is the most vile and evil thing. He also mailed the hands and feet - 2 to the govern't offices and 2 to an elementary schools in British Columbia - the head is still missing and who knows where it is.  . I can't find the words for this Luka Magnotta or Eric Newman is his real boring name - to call him mentally ill would be an insult to anyone who has mental illness. There's no word to describe his actions - the epitome of evil/disgust is all I can say!!!!
Back to the subject of should these sites be allowed. The guy who owns this site, claims he wants people to know the evil reality of the world. The fact is, this was a snuff film - an actual live murder. This is against the law. If online bullying is illegal ....why can't lawmakers make this illegal. What about the victims family - this was someones son or brother or nephew. Do we want our loved ones death available online??? Where's the empathy - I've spent 80% of my days since this all happened, feeling so bothered and so much sympathy for this man / his family and friends. Some countries have strong censorship - like no porn or bashing of their govern't - I don't support that. There has to be a line of some kind though, because it getting so pathologically sick on the internet. There's one case where parents lost their daughter in a morbid car accident - a man took pictures of their daughter and put them on one of these sites...the gorier the better.
One time I was searching for a suicide helpline for a member who was from a different country. I typed in "suicide helplines in --------" I'm leaving it out to protect others from seeing what I saw. What came up was an actual suicide of a man hanging himself - he set up his webcam initially to broadcast this on a live chat site - within seconds he did it.   It immediately started playing and I was literally frozen - anyone can watch this man kill himself. Do families have the right to prevent their loved ones death or gory pics of their loved ones off the internet?? Thanks to Newman/Magnotta for confirming some humans are vile / disgusting and sites like these with no empathy or regard for life....my brain will never be the same. Sorry for the long post but this case has caused me mental stress and I needed to vent.  I was thinking of starting a thread on this topic.

Seriously Lynn P...every single word you just wrote are the exact ones that have been crossing my mind since I read it. I can't stop thinking about it, as if it has lodged itself in my brain with no escape or relief. I read the same article as you did and the comments are the worst of it all in my opinion. I didn't see where the guy said he pleasured himself but I scanned over some parts out of nausea and I probably missed it.
My point exactly though... why is this website legal? That is what I want to know. Respectfully, I think this crosses the line of "freedom of speech."
I wish I could create a program to self-censor my own internet on my computers. I can type in keywords into a filter and it will block any article and etc that regards those kinds of things. I fear I am more happy in an ignorant state of mind.
Last week I read about the massacre in Syria, and read about how the images were posted all over the internet of the poor [49?] children brutally murdered.
Where is the respect for human life? Where is the empathy?
I don't think cannibalism [or anything regarding any form of murder and etc] should be classified as a form of mental disorder. I agree, it is a disgrace to the rest of us putting us in the same classification of conditions. I think there should be a name of it's own for this.
I understand the curiosity of death or gore, what is inside of our bodies anyway? But a website like rotten.com is different than this one. There are no images or videos posted purely for the enjoyment of watching someone die. Or dead then raped. This is just sickening.
I apologize to everyone for my rant but I feel if I don't talk about it I will never let it go from my mind. Thank you Lynn P for your input. I feel better knowing I am not the only one mentally suffering from our new found knowledge of the world.
