Re: Manhunt for Magnotta
Dont see why.
We buy the occasional disk, plus kids movies, and we pay taxes locally that in part pay for the library service just like everyone else, so why not get our moneys worth. Work gets its moneysworth from me, so no qualms there about internet usage. I dont download movies unless its something old that I cant get on disk at the library (Teahouse of the August Moon being a recent example). New releases wait until they are old and at the library, its still new to us. TV shows that I download would be available "for free" on Air anyway.
Besides, people watching telly dont "pay" for most of the shows, they pay for service provision to the cable or satellite service. Do people who record shows and fast forward through the ads also make you uncomfortable?

I am sure that this is a debate for another thread

Re: Manhunt for Magnotta
I get the feeling there were no other human victims. The infamy seems to be as important, if not more so, than the killing. If there were more victims, I think he would have informed us. He uploaded the cat killings, so I think he would have done something for any other human murders.

Re: Manhunt for Magnotta
On a side note.... you don't have to pay cable or satellite to watch TV. I have an antenna (OTA) and it's legal with over 36 channels, with some HD among those.
Anyway, back on topic

Re: Manhunt for Magnotta
Who thinks he will get the justice he deserves, or will he be out on day release after 4 years almost cured of his mental illness, like Lee is doing now.
And as far as Canada post is conserned the bits will most likely be lost in the post now. Like half of my mail does.

Re: Manhunt for Magnotta
If he is mentally ill and curable, where is the "justice" in keeping him locked up long after the point that he's a danger to anyone? Its not going to help the victim, its not going to prevent anyone else becoming mentally unstable and going on a killing spree.
IF hes mentally ill and if he's curable. And those are big ifs.
What justice do you think he deserves anyway?

And life should be life, alone, in solitary confinement, until he dies of old age. Long enough to think about what he done for his five mins of fame.

Re: Manhunt for Magnotta
If hes a paranoid schizophrenic and off his rocker due to a chemical imbalance in his brain and had no control over what he did, and if he can be cured to pose no threat to himself or anyone else, then thats totally barbaric IMO.

Re: Manhunt for Magnotta
Even if hes mentally ill? Clearly you are not an Amnesty International supporter. You dont happen to live in Texas do you...
Maybe we should just bypass that whole boring trial thing too while we are at it... Toss him from the plane on the way back maybe?

Re: Manhunt for Magnotta
I only agree with the Death Penalty in VERY FEW situations, this, if he is proven guilty, is one of them. Serial killers (of which he may be one) would be another as well as child molesters.

Re: Manhunt for Magnotta
If hes mentally competent and all this was premeditated for the sake of 15 minutes of fame then its fair enough.
If hes a paranoid schizophrenic and off his rocker due to a chemical imbalance in his brain and had no control over what he did, and if he can be cured to pose no threat to himself or anyone else, then thats totally barbaric IMO.
