Legal notes 2: The Death Note murders?
Anime News Network picks up a story from a Belgian tabloid reporting that two identical messages linked to Death Note were left near severed body parts discovered Friday in the forest of Belgium’s Duden Park.
According to the newspaper, the two paper sheets both say “Watashi wa Kira dess,” an apparent misspelling of the Japanese phrase “Watashi wa Kira desu,” or “I am Kira (Killer).” This is a catchphrase from writer Tsugumi Ooba and artist Takeshi Obata’s Death Note suspense manga series, in which a high school boy discovers a notebook which allows him to kill people by writing their names in it.
It is unknown if the body parts belong to the same person.

“It is unknown if the body parts belong to the same person.”
That might be the most disturbing sentence you ever wrote.

Preemptive strike against those who are going to call for some banning/censorship of manga: David Berkowitz said he killed six people because the dog on his mail route told him to. Does that mean we should have killed dogs because they can potentially drive nutballs to violence?

“Does that mean we should have killed dogs because they can potentially drive nutballs to violence?”
Well, duh, of course that’s what we should do. Dogs are always skulkin’ around, lookin’ at people with those shifty little eyes. You know what they’re thinkin’? They’re pantin’ and lickin’ their chops, just thinkin’ “I like bones. And people…they got nothin’ BUT bones inside. Bones…and meat! If only I had some way I could fetch me a bunch of people insides…hmm.”
This Kira wanna-be? Bet you he’s got himself a dog…or somewhere in his neighborhood there’s a dog, or he’s seen one on TV…just you wait.
…dogs. They ain’t nothin’ but Trouble with a capital T.

I love Death Note and am a huge fan, but this is taking it to far. If Death Note has taught or was supposed to teach us anything it’s that you can’t control what you don’t need to. Light was never supposed to rule the world and he never did, and this killer is just some psycho path.
