I am really sorry you were born with this horrible affliction, but you are not fit, nor safe, to be roaming the streets, if going off your meds, means stabby corpse meal time. Period. You are too much of a risk, and liability to society.
Your brain and body has done something so horribly unforgivable, you do not deserve life or freedom. If I wigged out like that for any reason, and did something so heinous, as a result of mental illness. The first unsupervised, lucid, moment I had, I would save the tax payers, and the penal system a hug chunk of money. I could never live with myself if I unknowingly did something like that, and I would never want to be free, let alone live.
I know this opinion is not popular, but it makes me sick to my stomach, when you see the commiter of a crime like this, get so much coddling, and support from the justice and health care system, while there is a mother out there, being basically told by the government to "mind your own business, we know better." when that monster ate her son. He will eventually live as a free man, while the family, will forever suffer knowing what he did. He may not be at fault for what he did (I disagree as it was his responsibility to take his meds.) But neither is it the fault of the family who will forever suffer, or the son, who was partially turned into human feces, and doesn't even have the chance to suffer.
My question is this. What happens if Luka Magnotta, is diagnosed with Schizophrenia? Is he all of a sudden given a pass by everyone? Why is it any different if he suffers one mental illness, but not another? Anyone who did what he did is mentally sick to a degree. What if he suffered horrible abuse as a child, and became this monster as a result? Is that his fault? Or should it be his abuser who is responsible?
I am sorry, if you sympathize with the Schizophrenic cannibal, you have to sympathize with the psychopathic cannibal. Both are mentally ill, and both never grew up with the intention of being that way.
