Human foot in suspicious package at Conservative Party HQ

[MacCruiskeen]

How could a bloodstained package even be delivered to that address, much less opened?

Pardon me for asking the obvious. (I know it's been asked before, but I've not yet seen any plausible answer.)

[Jeff]

It's a reasonable question, but does anything need to make sense anymore?

Also:

A note sent with a severed foot to Conservative Party headquarters in Ottawa indicated that more body parts had been sent through the post, and that the person who dismembered the victim would kill again

U.S. lawyer says he tipped cops to death video

By Joe Warmington ,Toronto Sun

TORONTO - While a Canada-wide warrant for the arrest of alleged murderer Luka Magnotta was issued Wednesday, a Montana man says he had information that could have given police a four-day head start.

"I was on the bestgore.com website and I saw what I was sure was a videotaped murder," lawyer Roger Renville said. "It's a shock video website normally with crime scene photos or stuff about al-Qaida so this was shocking."

He immediately starting phoning police departments to report it.

The only problem, Renville said, is no one at Toronto Police would listen to him.

"I called the Toronto Police at 416-808-2222 Sunday at noon and tried to report the video," he said. "I told them I am not a kook but a 51-year-old attorney."

Instead of getting a thank you, he said he got a condescending tone from an officer who blew him off.

"He said, 'It can't be real. They have pretty good special effects these days.' I said to him 'look at the video." I asked him if I could send the link and he said he wouldn't be needing that."

Renville said the officer went further, saying "does it make any sense to commit a murder and record it?"

...

He said he had much the same experience with the RCMP, Miami and Denver police, as well as reporters at Toronto media outlets.

"The way I saw it was a murder had clearly taken place and I can't even get one person interested," he said.

Things have very rapidly gone insane here in Canada. Its very unusual. I guess this freak will replace those awful child murderers dominating and distracting in the headlines now.


Jeff, you REALLY MUST blog about this transformation of Canada into this bizarre and violent new landscape. You are uniquely qualified to speak to it. Its important. It is actually important for you to write about this. You're simply too good, too valuable, to let this moment pass without comment.

Canada police launch manhunt for porn actor in severed body parts case
A porn actor is wanted in a gruesome case of dismembered body parts that were mailed to different places including the headquarters of the Conservative Party of Canada, police said.

9:33AM BST 31 May 2012

Canadian police named a suspect in a gruesome murder case involving a dismembered torso, mailed-out body parts, and what one senior officer said was the worst crime scene his force has ever seen.

Montreal police released a photograph of a man they said is Luka Rocco Magnotta, who they said also uses the pseudonyms Eric Clinton Newman and Vladimir Romanov, and asked people across Canada to help locate him.

A man identified as Luka Rocco Magnotta appears on several internet sites, with photos that match those of the man in the police mug shots. The sites make references to Magnotta as the man shown in Internet videos allegedly suffocating kittens and feeding one to a python.

Other websites describe Magnotta as a male model and a bisexual actor in porn films.

"I'll tell you one thing. For most of the officers that have been there all night, this is a crime scene they've never seen in their life, in their career, so yes, I can consider that as a horrible crime," Montreal police Commander Ian Lafreniere said after investigators searched an apartment at an undisclosed Montreal location.

In the first gory discovery in the case, a severed foot was mailed to the headquarters of the governing Conservative Party in Ottawa. A hand was intercepted in the mail, also in Ottawa.

"The odour coming from the package was just horrible and I'm sure many of us will never forget it," said Fred DeLorey, a Conservative Party spokesman.

Then a torso was found in a suitcase in a garbage pile in Montreal.

Police Commander Lafreniere said Magnotta and the as-yet-unidentified victim knew each other but offered no details.

If you have it in you, Jeff, please do. The other day you wrote a reply to Jack in another thread about Canadian politics and you described the tar sands as "Canada's own Baby Jesus." brilliant. I shared it with my husband who has repeated it a couple of times he appreciated it so much. I said to him, "This is why I keep going back. Jeff is such a brilliant writer & I wish he'd write political commentary again."

I do believe Fresno is right. This is important, and you could make a valuable contribution. Someone's got to 'cause this country is circling the drain.

BTW - Jesus H the cops have got to lose the chips on their shoulders. They approach every person as if they're mentally ill instead of taking each situation as it comes. I'm kinda surprised that a 51 year old attorney could be surprised by that, tho.

More at link, but it's brutal.

The video was titled "1 Lunatic 1 Ice Pick" and was posted to a website called "Best Gore" on May 25. More info here, but it's even more brutal. The video received 257 comments, like, "what's with the shitty music?"

It's the banality of evil. Pretty amazing.

Turns out that the "shitty music" was New Order's True Faith.

Why does it not shock me that the only person I've ever come across who doesn't like True Faith is also the moron who's viewing a snuff film, most likely in his parent's basement with his pants around his ankles, and commenting on it as if it were a trailer for the latest Adam fucking Sandler movie?

Looks like the video may be more than two weeks old as he made a fake Youtube account to ask about it according to posters at reddit:

Even if it IS NOT him SOMEONE was asking about THAT video on MAY 15th, so, do the math.

Note also the name of the person on the utube account is the same as the name John Mark Karr is using as a female now, Alexis---.


Here is an interesting link from someone who gathered a lot of stuff on this guy very worth the time:

I did not think I could any longer be shocked and disgusted with humanity. I was wrong. I didn't think there would be so many people who routinely watch these gore videos. I did not think that so many people would provide the link to the '1icepick' video to each other. I didn't think that 'normal' young women and men would be interested in this sort of thing at all. I thought this was a deep underground type of 'entertainment' (I can barely type that word in reference to this). You know, I thought of it like child porn - something only complete sickos would ever dare to even let buffer.

I pray my daughter doesn't click on any of the ubiquitous links ...

It was first published on the 25th of May on a gore site. A person(Most likely Luka) had been promoting it 10 days earlier via youtube and blogs

I saw a STILL PIC of the vid and that is as far as I can go no way I am watching that shit, someone on reddit described it step by step I can post that here if Jeff would like otherwise I wont.

[Hunter]

He apparently wrote a journal in 2009 detailing how to disappear and never be found, you can read that here:

I appreciate your asking. I'd rather not. The details and video aren't difficult to find, I'd like to keep them off the board.
