Yes, he got away with something many of us would find well, disgusting, but I believe that a question we are failing to ask ourselves is why is this occurring? Much of the population that we diagnose as "clinically insane" are also people who demonstrate intellectual superiority. The actions we are observing here are wrong, there's no questioning that. But what we need to focus on is why the "clinically insane" are so much smarter than some of our best scholars. What is the real issue here? The crime commited or the reason behind the crime commited? If we can come to understand the many "why"s behind this, we can also come to figure out how it can be stopped and also how we can use it to further educate ourselves.

Screw it and lock the idiot up for life without daylight. Losers like this are nothing more than a burden on society - and a dangerous one at that. Your fancy words cut no ice and the only help from us he deserves is someone flipping a rather large electricity switch.

Issei has been subject to a great and unwarranted deal of race hate. The fact that he ate a dead woman is used to mask the unspoken ethnic superiority of others as they deliver sugar-coated - if hardly disguised - xenophobic diatribes against a peaceful man trying to get on with what is left of his life. He seeks neither fame nor fortune, merely to be accepted and gently appreciated by others. But latent racism is ever present to thwart him, ever ready to condemn and shamefacedly tireless in its aggressive hypocrisy. Have there not been a number of white race cannibals? No one heard of Albert Hamilton Fish? By redeeming Issei from the snickering gutter-press we would be redeeming ourselves. By ceasing to parade a singular individual's past like a dirty handkerchief and rising above the all too easy put-down and snide aside we'd be elevating ourselves as well as Issei. More people have reached the summit of Everest than have killed and eaten another human being. More people murdered than eaten. But Issei Sagawa is one of the precious few who lives amongst us; one of those who went beyond the bounds of normalcy to touch the furthest reaches of experience and one who could do with our help.
