Graphic: Are you a fan of Luka Rocco Magnotta? (This is serious)

In a world where being ‘overly sex’ earns you millions, and a world where ‘nakedness’ is treated like an old painting of Picasso, there’s always  a part of this world that leaves some wondering What would possibly possess one could do such a thing?

Enter ‘a fan of Luka Rocco Magnotta’.  The now infamous Canadian cannibal appears to have lined up quite the interesting fan-base starting with sites like Facebook. Normally, it’s 4Chan that I fear,  but this time around I’m slowly beginning to fear the fact that Facebook’s become a hub for notorious criminals of all kinds.

I read this this morning, wondering ‘Why on earth would somebody be ‘a fan’ of somebody who could do such a thing’?   After the release of the infamous dismember video, I think that was proof enough that he did the killing.

I just can’t seem to grasp the thought of Magnotta having a ‘fan base’ after what he did, do we really live in a world where murder is glorified?
