In reply to the discussion: N.Y. police officer charged with plan to cook, eat women [View all]jtuck004
(15,882 posts)53. I didn't say he shouldn't be removed, though I doubt he will serve any jail time.
Heck, we have one here that has been judged guilty of killing an unarmed guy in a convenience store when he attacked him and he's still hanging out.
Millions of people fantasize about murder, many commit it to paper, and it happens in schools and workplaces. We don't find out about the majority because they never act on it, though the evidence is out there if one has occasion to come across it.
But it's a long way from planning to the implementation of taking another person's life deliberately and with forethought in the human mind, regardless of popular opinion. Else we would have a lot more murders than we do.
Btw - his ex-wife turned him in, which I thought was a good call on her part.

Except he violated several laws during the planning stage. He accessed information

There is a difference between being on the menu and having been eaten. One still has hope.

Abusing his authority... I hope he doesn't get put away in a prison mental ward and let out later.

No, this happened in a suburb or small town near Houston. Not the Green River Killer.

Death seems seems a bigger injustice, in that they have no way to recover. And he didn't

The FBI seems to disagree with you. True he didn't kill anyone, as far as we know.

It takes all kinds. That's what makes the world go 'round. Quite an eclectic lifestyle, I must say.
