Recently captured murder suspect Luka Rocco Magnotta won’t fight extradition from Germany to Canada, where he faces first-degree murder and other charges stemming from the gruesome killing, molestation and dismemberment of a Montreal college student.
Magnotta, 29, is suspected of killing Jun Lin, 33, whose dismembered torso was found inside a locked suitcase abandoned near Magnotta’s apartment. He was arrested at a Berlin Internet café yesterday, where according to the CBC, he was reading articles about himself.
Magnotta may also be brought up on charges of threatening the Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper, as at least one of the body parts he mailed out was sent to Harper’s Conservative Party headquarters.
Authorities report he opted for solitary confinement rather than be housed with the general prison population (wise choice). Its not clear, though, exactly when Magnotta will be sent back to Canada.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
A German judge was expected to visit Magnotta in a Berlin jail Tuesday to speak to the Canadian about his detention and the procedure for extradition.
Chief Supt. Stefan Redlich of the Berlin police told CBC News that Magnotta will be visited at a time set by the judge rather than leave the jail to appear in court.
The judge will decide whether Magnotta will continue to be held in Berlin or be transferred to another facility, where he could be held for months, depending on the extradition process, reported the CBC’s Laura Lynch from Berlin.
Just in case you were wondering, Canada outlawed the death penalty in 1976.

Cue the pro/con death penalty debate.

And we’re supposed to give a rat’s ass about this nut because . . . he’s a homosexual? What’s amusing is Queerty’s insistence of portraying him as a civic-minded hero who was out to harrass conservative demon Stephen Harper. First it was Bradley Manning, now it’s Luka Magnotto. The message seems to be, You go, gay criminals! We’ve got your back no matter how horrible a person you are!
Lordy.

JASON: “This man deserves to be put behind bars because he belongs in the dark and EVIL porn industry that dares spit at my face by flaunting a sexually active lifestyle that I can’t even have no matter how much I tempt other boys with my figure hugging habit.”
There you go, Jason. I’ve already placed a comment within the same vein of your mentality. No need to waste your time commenting on Queerty. Christine O’Donnell’s “I’m Not A Witch” campaign fundraiser awaits your presence. Go, girl. Make us proud by showing just how “diverse” the LGBT community is. 🙂

@Buff Enough: @Buff Enough:
Could you please show us where Queerty is insisting that Magnotto is a civic-minded hero for harrassing Harper? Are you reading the same article as the rest of us?
JDM
@Buff Enough: How can you possibly compare Bradley Manning, someone who has risked everything to expose his criminal government – a great service to us all, to this nutcase? You’re as crazy as Magnotta. Better lock you up before you go out and feast on someone’s carcass.
Bailey
His name is Luca… I wonder if he lives on the second floor.
Still a hottie. I’d date him.
Rusk
@Bailey: Would you still date him after he drugs you and stabs you with an ice pick and plays with your limbs after dismembering you?
Buff Enough
@JDM: Sorry, but Manning is a mentally unstable criminal who stole sensitive materials from the US Government, not some heroic whistleblower, and certainly not someone the LGBTs should look to as an example. We may agree to disagree, but I see him as a traitor to our country, and will be glad to see him put away for good.
JDM
@Buff Enough: Well I see lemmings like you as traitors to our country. You would have sided with the British and called for the imprisonment of our founding fathers. Scum like you is why we’re headed straight toward tyranny and endless wars. To psychopaths like you, the real heroes are villains and vice versa. Don’t worry, you’ll get your police state. Maybe then you’ll reconsider your blood lust for people standing up for what once made this country great.
Bailey
@Rusk: with a hottie like that… yes.
ousslander
There is always a couple that think some killer is hot and would do him. Bailey would still do it even if it meant being murdered. Pathetic
brucehopper
Bush and Blair are responsible for 250000 civilian deaths in Iraq
Magnotta is responsible for 1 human and several kitten deaths
Let’s get this into perspective please

I don’t understand some parts of the law, but why is he still “suspected” when the vid is out there for everyone to see?
christopher di crapito
@brucehopper: You go tell that to his family and friends, asshole!!!
Greg
WTF Bailey you’d actually date this creepy guy? No he’s not hot at all he’s a twink!
Too bad he won’t get the death penalty in Canada.
brucehopper
@christopher di crapito: Hey CRAPito, We all love an asshole. Mmmmmmm
Moo
@Bryan: I think the part you don’t understand is that he hasn’t had a trial yet. It’s often referred to in the phrase “innocent until proven guilty.”
Buff Enough
@JDM:
Let’s see. According to you, I’m . . .
A lemming, a traitor, someone who would have sided with the Brits and imprisoned the founding fathers, I’m a psycopath, my heroes are villains, I desire a police state, and I have bloodlust for people who stand up to authority. Jeez, that’s a lot of name-calling for someone of the “tolerant” left, especially since none of your accusations are true. But I bet it made you feel good to type it anyway, huh.
BJ McFrisky
@christopher di crapito: I’m with you: Too often the victims are forgotten in sensational cases like this one. How many of us can name a single vicitm of Jeffrey Dahmer’s, another famous gay psycopath? Let’s all show a little respect for Jun Lin and his family.
JDM
@Buff Enough: I’m not ‘tolerant’ of intolerance. I love my country and when I run into people like you who want to turn the Constitution into toilet paper, I get a little annoyed. I come from a military family – people who proudly served their country. They didn’t risk life and limb so cowards like you could ruin it by criminalizing basic freedoms like whistle-blowing.
And my comments about you are more true than your own screen name. Most of the police state supporters I meet are small, fat little weaklings. They want a big government to make them feel safe because they are incapable of defending themselves.
christopher di crapito
@brucehopper: And you registered on this website just to post heartless, insensitive comments like that? You’re clearly here only to provoke people. And you think I’m the one with the problem? Go ahead, go tell Lin Jun’s family and friends that his gruesome death doesn’t matter. I won’t waste any more of my time replying to you. You clearly don’t have the heart or the intellect to understand anything!
Damon
Bruce Hopper you’re an idiot.
Jun did not deserve to die and for all we know Luka has killed other people as psychopaths like Luka do this.
Vijay
@Buff Enough: How can you demonize Bradley Manning? Whistle-blowing is more American than baseball and apple pie. This country was founded by people who stood up to authority and risked their lives doing so, just as Manning has done. JDM was right when he says that it’s people like you who would have called the founding fathers traitors because, using your criteria, that is exactly what they were. They were traitors to their criminal government, but heroes and watchful guardians to their people. There is a difference, it’s just sad that you don’t see it.
Bailey
@Greg: Oh, everybody makes a few mistakes.
Bruce Hopper is right. Let’s put this all into perspective.
Bailey
We love you Luca and know you are innocent!

To the people defending him. Watch the whole video and we’ll see if your still defending him…

@Buff Enough: Just because Harper is a conservative, doesn’t mean he is a demon. You seem to have our conservatives confused with American conservatives who are nutjobs. Our conservatives would be considered more liberal than your liberals who have just recently come out in support of gay marriage whereas Harper has never challenged it and it’s been law before he was elected. In fact, our formaer Liberal govt was proven to be crooks when they were in power, federally.
Bailey
@k: That link does not have the video. You suck donkey balls.
Brian
When did Queerty turn into a GOProud convention? Anybody who sides with the conservatives/Republicans IS a traitor to our cause, that’s pretty obvious to anybody who cares about our people and our issues.
Please don't feed Bailey
@Bailey: I see. It was all just a misunderstanding. I think Bailey is enjoying yanking on everyone’s chain.
Buff Enough
@Vijay: If Bradley Manning is a hero of the people, as you proclaim, then why is he in jail? Is it because the evil hetero establishment wants to punish him for being sexually attracted to other men? Because of his little-girl’s voice? Because of his all-around disdain for all things American? No, it’s because he committed a crime worthy of execution, that’s why. People like you can slobber over criminals like Manning all you want, but that doesn’t make you right.
@JDM: Your attempts to make yourself look patriotic and me seem traitorous are very humorous. Nice try, but your liberal leanings are as transparant as celophane, and your words fool no one.
Vijay
@Buff Enough: There is a difference between legal and moral. There always has been. Just because something is codified into law does not make it God’s truth. You’ve got some nerve to talk about ‘right.’ Clearly you’ve been fooled into believing if the government does it, it’s right. Sad, very sad.
JDM
@Buff Enough: You are a traitor. There is no other word for someone who opposes everything that this country stands for. It’s not about liberal or conservative when defending the Constitution. You’re as stupid as most liberals, so quit trying to feel somehow morally superior to them. If standing up for civil liberties makes me ‘liberal’ in your books, and since in your books apparently liberals are evil, I guess that makes me evil. When some policemen in black armor come knocking down your door, maybe you’ll reconsider what’s good and what’s evil. Because right now, you sure as hell have got it backwards.
Interesting how you didn’t bother to address military service. Guess you must piss your pants at the thought of actually serving your country, given the fact that you’ve already established yourself as a coward, while cheering for the death of people who have actually served, like Bradley Manning. You can puff up your chest to seem manly and patriotic all you want, but until you take a little history lesson, your antics and words are hollow. You may think you know a lot, but you understand nothing.
DouggSeven
@Brian: You realize they are talking about Canadian conservatives, right? The conservative party in Canada (as a whole) is more liberal than US Democrats.
Buff Enough
@JDM: Wowza. Not only is everything you stated radically incorrect, but you’re such a paranoid little thing. Policemen in black armor knocking down doors? You’ve been reading from the OWS handbook a little too much.
Buff Enough
@Vijay: Dude, I’m the most vocal opponent of the government you’ll ever meet. Don’t know where you got the impression I’m a liberal who wants bigger government and more spending, but that’s exactly what I’m against. Me, I’m just for justice when it comes to piece-of-shit criminals like Manning.
Michael
@Rusk: That would be an awkward date unless unless you could get some of the recipients of your body parts to return to sender.
Vijay
@Buff Enough: Clearly you want bigger government spending, you just want it on a big police state instead of on social programs like liberals do. Military and law enforcement spending is still government spending, so quit pretending to be some sort of conservative. You’re not.
“I’m the most vocal opponent of the government you’ll ever meet.” What a crock. If that statement were even close to true, then you would have supported Bradley Manning’s actions for the government corruption and evil that they exposed. You don’t get to say you’re anti-government and then turn around and defend it against someone like Manning, who attempted to expose the criminal government for exactly what it is. If you support big government, that’s your right to freedom of political thought, but don’t pretend to be you’re something you’re not. Phoniness isn’t a virtue, unless you’re in politics.
JDM
@Buff Enough: “you’re such a paranoid little thing. Policemen in black armor knocking down doors? You’ve been reading from the OWS handbook a little too much.”
Because governments have never, EVER turned on their people before, right? You really do need a history lesson if you’re calling me paranoid for fearing what governments are capable of. In the last century, government is responsible for more deaths than any other cause.
Also, nothing that I’ve said has a thing to do with Occupy Wall Street. But I’m assuming it’s just your way of belittling without having to formulate a substantive response to anything I’ve said. Typical phony conservative response.
I’m starting to think you’re just some bureaucrat troll harassing anybody who doesn’t support a giant police state. If you want a big government, then go over to the Middle East and see what they do to dissidents like Bradley Manning. You’re living in the Dark Ages. Wake up.
Buff Enough
@Vijay:
@JDM:
Yikes. I could debate every assumption you guys made, but I suspect I’m not dealing with the most rational of individuals here, so we’ll just leave it there. Adios, gents.
Vijay
@Buff Enough: You’re just not capable. It’s okay though, you’re doing the best you can with the lousy hand life has dealt you. You’re entitled to worship government, just refrain from debate in the future. I wouldn’t want you to hurt yourself. Just keep spouting simple, unjustified statements. It’ll get you far.
David
Abolished, not “outlawed.” Application of an illegal death penalty would be homicide.
brucehopper
@Damon: Wow, you and Crapito obviously didn’t read or understand my comment. I don’t condone or sanction physical or mental violence in any form. If Magnotta is proved in court of law to have committed the murder, he will be sentenced accordingly.
My original comment was meant to create debate about the shock horror of all murders, including the killing of 250,000 civilians in Iraq.
Where is all the ranting and discussion about that?
These murders caused immense suffering of possibly 1,000,000 friends and relatives of those civilians.
Blair and Bush condoned these murder, along with torture and rendition and yet travel around free men, treated like celebrities.
I would guess you never discussed that issue.
JDM
@Buff Enough: Good riddance. Back into your cave, bureaucrat-troll.
