I pray this is a photo shopped pic and if it isn't then I don't know the world we live in I guess.  Child pornography and snuff films are illegal, so this man shouldn't have put/allowed this to be on his site. There has to be a limit. I ask this one question - if this was your family member, would you be fine with others seeing the last moments on video and the body disrespected in the worst way?? If your family was in a fatal gruesome car accident, would you be fine with a person taking pics and putting them online? There are sites that help physically healthy people who may be depressed kill themselves - is that fine? There's sites that show women being raped. Its fine to want to see a post mortem or a graphic operation(for medical /education reasons, but NOT a murder, without the families permission. Personally I'm fine with dead bodies or an operation but not with a murder or deliberate defiling a body.
Regarding my comment of whether Magnotta's mentally ill - I didn't want to insult the mentally ill community by lumping him with them. Why when someone does something vile and evil ....do we think the person's mentally ill?? Can't a person just be evil. This was premeditated crime and he promised to kill a person. He's well known for killing kittens. I don't want to see this person plead mental illness and then get a lighter sentence. He even announced he was going to do an ice pic murder on youtude 2 weeks before this. Think about this victims family - is it fine for them to see their loved one carved, defiled and eaten online? I can't understand why anyone would need to see this, except for the jury, police detectives and lawyers. Should the internet be a free for all to reject any laws or moral values? |
Just playing devils advocate here. You seem to have focused on this story quite a bit. Have you found anything about his childhood? Was he abused?
Who is to say he isn't mentally ill. There are many news stories detailing violent and often horrific crimes committed by returning combat vets from the Iraq and Afghanistan fighting. Murders, rapes, beatings, one vet repeatedly bashed his child against a wall. Are they evil? Or could it be PTSD?
I'm not really interested in hypothetical questions about someone putting gruesome photos of deceased family members on the net. I'd never see them. Nobody I know would ever see them.
I've been surfing the net for most of my life and I've never seen any sites like this. Leads me to believe one would have to do some serious searching to find them. One would have to want to see them. I'm not going to try it to find out but I don't think you could type "snuff films" or "rape films" in google and find them.
I believe that there are domain and server guidelines and regulations that are enforced when reported along with law enforcement agencies around the world looking for illegal website content.
So, no, the internet shouldn't be and isn't lawless. Moral values... whose moral values?
