Wierdest story ever, from Japan: Japan's most notorious killer is back on the streets. Apparently Issei Sagawa is a necrophiliac cannibal who never went to prison:
He freely admits to having slaughtered a Dutch woman in Paris, sexually violated her corpse, then literally butchered her so he could eat some of her remains... Before going any further, it's important to note that despite what he did to that poor young woman in Paris, Sagawa, for a variety of legal loopholes that space doesn't permit to be explained here, has never been charged for what he did.
Sagawa has resurfaced as an anti-war protester claiming "Murderers actually know more about the importance of life than any other people on Earth." He also said that Bush is using the "excuse of terrorism" to launch a war, which is "just like Pearl Harbor." I'm not sure what he means by that... More importantly, why hasn't somebody just whacked this guy? As far as I can tell, Japan is crawling with ninjas, thugs, murderers, and enraged monkeys. Does none of them desire to bring honor to themselves through such public service? Can the not only act in shame? Perhaps they are afraid the newspapers will expose their secret.
