I like the way two adults do things in consent, without harming anyone else, and yet those thingies are illegal & punishable.

Well, it harms their relatives and friends.

Not to mention that it's illegal to kill and eat people. It doesn't matter if they're consenting, they broke the law. Case closed, crazy guy gets life.

But it wasn't (still isn't?) illegal to eat people in Germany.

And you are model law-abiding citizen #1 right?

Didn't Rammstein do a song about that?

And the case wasn't really closed. This is after the BGH nullified the original sentence of 8 years and had them do a retrial.

Seems to gloss over the whole "frying the soon-to-be-dead man's penis and feeding it to him" malarky.

Yeah, Rammstein did a song on that. :p
eating people is fun but not incredibly safe.
Uhhh... Not harming anyone else... Friends and relatives? Then it is a case of, anyone could murder anyone else and eat them, then claim that the person consented.

Last case of cannibalism prior to this in Germany seems to have been 1924.

Hell, let's all go on a rampage! Please sign these consent forms first,though.
I don't kill and eat people.
That's what they all say, and then before you know it, they're at your genitals with a pair of tongs and forcing your head onto the faceplate of a barbeque. I know your type, mister.

Good grief, that was ages ago. Mad man really, eating another human is quite a dangerous proposition, there are chemicals which you really dont want to ingest and it can make you quite ill. Oh well.

I don't kill and eat people.
But your logic is that if you break the law, you should be punished.

It's a bullshit sentence. Under german laws he should have gotten what he originally did. He got a sentence of 8 years originally I believe. Given that the guy wanted to be eaten, and was on video given several chances to say no, I fail to see why he should have gotten life in prison.

He videotaped the person consenting. And gave him several chances to quit.
