Yup, that’s what those long winters and nights will do. Craaaaazy. ---

> [@Siam\_Sam](#): > > I used to think of Canadians as a mild-mannered, friendly bunch. But after this guy and the one who beheaded his fellow bus passenger, if I see a Canadian coming toward me, I’m shooting first and asking questions later. You’d better be heavily armed. It’s been a crazy week up here. Besides the Magnotta story, a husband killed his wife and young daughter then shot himself, police shot and killed a guy who had killed two others and barricaded himself in a house, a convicted killer committed suicide in his car on a remote logging road and his body dragged from the car by a bear and partially eaten, and just today there was a shooting spree at a mall in Toronto. So, how about those Stanley Cup playoffs, eh? ---

What a freakshow. I was sure he would of been caught by now because he doesn’t appear to be too bright. Last week I heard he was picked up by a mother and her kid hitchhiking towards Ottawa, that immediately made me get up off me arse and close the window on my fire escape I usually leave open. Although he doesn’t appear to be much of a threat at 140lbs with the manicured eyebrows. ---

Has this guy had his eyes artificially colored? There was a picture of him-his eyes were an impossible shade of blue. And yes, where is this guy getting the money to travel around? He doesn’t seem to have made much money as a “porn star”. ---

Yeah, all that travel must have cost him an arm and a leg. Regards, Shodan ---

Dude’s apparently been seen in Paris. Not very bright. Flee from the police of one first world nation by going to another one? When I first hear they thought he’d flown to France I figured it was pretty smart because he could then drive anywhere in the Eurozone. Head east, find some obscure border crossing, get into a former east bloc country where he might even have some contacts if he really was someone in the porn biz. But no, go to a nightclub in Paris. But I guess if he wasn’t a moron he wouldn’t have recorded himself committing murder in the first place. ---

How do they know he flew to France? I guess a while back he posted a detailed blog about how to disappear forever, but surely he’s not stupid enough to follow his own script. Yeah, he probably is. ---

> [@levdrakon](#): > > How do they know he flew to France? Presumably he traveled before the body was discovered (the suitcase with the torso was left sitting outside for a few days before being opened); his passport wouldn’t have had any flags before then, since there was no reason to suspect him before discovery of the crime, but would have been entered into the system/flight logs of whatever airline he took. ---

I’m guessing he’s going to be doing a long time in a mental institution here. ---

Maybe we can arrange for Magnotta to spend the rest of his days sharing a cell with Anders Behring Breivik. ---

> [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > I’m guessing he’s going to be doing a long time in a mental institution here. Where ever he ends up, he won’t be doing much time at all. That’s what I like about the U.S. penal system. A life sentence actually means for the rest of your life. Here it’s you get a shot at parol in 25 years. I can’t see this kook doing anymore than 15 years, if that at all. ---

With a bit of luck (for us), it’ll take him almost forever to get extradited. ---

Just because he can ask for it after 15 years, it doesn’t mean he will get it.
