In my opinion, citing mental illness as an excuse for someone who killed, beheaded and ate another human being doesn't fly.

I think it's obvious he wasn't all there. My point is it shouldn't matter.

Again, *in my opinion* this guy and other extreme cases of violent murder, rape etc (regardless of the involvement of mental illness) should be punished to the fullest extent of the law, including not getting supervised day trips.

I realize a few of you think otherwise and wish to continue arguing about it, but I've now said my piece.

I understand the guy was completely out of it for one reason or another. That goes without saying.

What I'm saying is that regardless of the circumstances, when you commit a crime that heinous... you should be shut away regardless of the circumstances.
