Armchair psych profile and personal background

Well I think his family will be called by the crown to appear in court so hopefully they will shed some light on his dysfunction. If you recall family said they had not seen for some time and mentioned how much he had hurt the family. LM's post online could be what they were alluding to, the posts against the family.

If you're a crazy, so am I
I think your comment makes totally sense, it would be very easy to Magnotta to become a woman and fool everyone in his new life. Maybe that was his real plan, he didn't expect to be caught so soon, in his own narcissistic madness he was invicible, it would take years to be traced. Or maybe he just wanted to be caught, who knows... this case is like a plot from some movie, so many questions and possibilities...

RE: Gender Reassignment/Cross Dressing

IMO I do not see that as part of LM's psychological profile. I don't find his sexual orientation ambiguities as unexpected either. Often persons with personality disorders have sexual orientation issues and or poor boundaries. LM even has posts where by he self-describes himself as Borderline...and lack of boundaries and sexuality issues are very common among this population. Given the significant absence of empathy/compassion that LM has, I could see him at least behaving bisexually as means of increasing the amount of persons he could exploit. Psychopaths/sociopaths are adept at creating the vision their victim wants to see. It's always an illusion because they have no real emotional self to portray.

As an ex stripper I can tell you it's not all about fluid motions though that can help at times. Eye contact and charm go a long way. These aren't ballet dancers (male strippers). And most dancers won't be remembered. They hop clubs pretty quickly usually, fit stereotypes, dress up so that they don't even look like their normal selves, use fake names, often don't even make close friends at work, etc.

There's no reason not to believe he was capable of doing fine in the sex industry. The vast majority, while never big names, can make a decent living off of it.

I think I get what you are saying, but I disagree with your theory about lying not being lying if you have NPD. That's like saying a compulsive liar's lies are lessor lies because of their mental problem. Let me try to understand... I think what you are saying is that their lies are relative to our own given the fact that we are normal and they have a disorder. Is that correct? Or are you just saying that someone with NPD makes up lies or embellishes to feed their disorder rather than lying just for the sake of lying, or lying just to harm others? I'm not sure there is a staunch difference. A lie is a lie despite the reasoning behind it.

However, I share your sentiments towards those who choose to believe the horrible and disgusting things Luka has posted yet they refuse to believe anything that might encite empathy or compassion, such as his allegations of abuse. Like I've stated previously, people only hear what they want to hear and only believe what they want to believe.

I did not state it clearly. IMI his lying served different purposes than others without NPD. It is a symptom if you will of the illiness. I did not mean it does not make them a lie in that context - its not lying to get out of something I guess is better. Its lying to build self up to meet the cravings of perfection the NPD needs relentlessly - does that make more sense?[/

I am starting to question if he got too big for his britches!
Maybe he thought about torturing people and
started killing cats but when he
killed JL he got sick then chickened out in his grand plan
and is now trying to back out of things.

I get the feeling he thought he was hardcore because
he killed those poor kittens and then gave himself
the impression that he could be up there with the " big boys"
like Gacy or Bundy.

Then he actually did it and wasn't as excited as he
thought he'd be. Maybe was a bit disgusted but
followed through for " the fame"
Then got caught immediately and doesn't have
the guts to toy around how he set himself up to.

He probably had the idea he'd be messing
with police in the way that Hannibal lector
did but just isn't sick or smart enough to do it.

Just a theory

His only positive review as an escort came for your rating... :floorlaugh:
You realize that because of your post-crime positive rating of Magnotta that was done while he was still at large that you're likely on some sort of government or LE watch-list :floorlaugh:

I think labeling himself as bisexual has a wider appeal to a wider audience in some sort of twisted way of thinking; if you're considered bi, then women might find that more appealing and want you too. IMO it its with the whole narcissism and wanting to be super famous. Some say James Dean was bisexual, while many said he was gay. (Makes me think of the South Park episode where butters is innocently labeled bisexual and sent to a place to fix him)

If even SOME of what was posted is true (and I actually believe some of it is - given what the one aunt said in the interview in the coffee shop plus other stuff reported) , they'll have some answering of their own to do. So far from what I've gathered, they are FAR from just the 'poor innocent' family stuck in the middle of this. And again, it doesn't excuse the crime committed, but as we learn more patterns of where these people come from and where the seeds are sown ... its the same stories over and over.

In some sense we are all looking at it aa a preferance like most reasonablly healthy folks. I am wondering if gender just did not make difference (the narcis does not really care about anyone). Like if he was "hangin" in the moment with a human being who has been saying how cute he is -- boom in that moment he is with her.....i think alot of his interactions were based on who was best at soothing his need to beaffirmed that he great . accepted etc etc .

Does anyone know LM's last address and his prior address? This article is saying that police were looking for him at his prior address and he had just moved out. He told his landlord that he was moving to Toronto. In fact, he moved only a few kilometers away in Montreal. The move in February was abrupt.

My significant other just pulled this TedTalk up on video: http://archive.org/details/DavidDow_2012X

You don't have to watch, but the gist is that 80-percent of death row inmates come from the same type of background Magnotta has. Dow then goes on to State that statistically $1 put toward Early Childhood intervention saves $17 later in the criminal justice system for at risk individuals. Quite telling.

Just a thought, but LM is painted by many here as being a "copy cat" killer by bringing elements of famous serial killers and movies to his own alleged crime. While I think this is true, part of me thinks that we only witness his copy cat because he utilized the Internet to express it. I'm guessing serial killers are all inspired by other killers/movies/books/etc. I don't think these people just wake up one day and decide to kill in a particular pattern; they are influenced. The difference here is that we aren't privy to seeing these serial killers' influences because that would require much, much more effort than in the case at hand.

Even though this bothers me and I don't see it as giving him any credit, by virtue of the fact that he used the Internet and made himself so well publicized, makes him somewhat unique as an alleged killer. If proven guilty, he is the first google bomber killer.

Unfortunately I fear this is going to spawn others to act out on fantasies or a means to gain attention. On a lesser but still just as disturbing trend, you hear and see all these videos of mostly kids committing crimes and then posting them on the net. They seem to get off on who can out do the last video and LE can't even keep up. Even LE is seems desensitized, because it is so frequent and often not proven easy to catch these guys. Even the original guy who reported this killvid, wasn't taken seriously.

Kevin: It's like this: you wake and watch TV, get in your car and listen to the radio you go to your little jobs or little school, but you don't hear about that on the 6 o'clock news, why? 'Cause nothing is really happening, and you go home and watch some more TV and maybe it's a fun night and you go out and watch a movie. I mean it's got so bad that half the people on TV, inside the TV, they're watching TV. What are these people watching, people like me?
