There has been much speculation in here about LM's level of relationship with Lin Jun. I recall reading about how one of LM's neighbors shared that LM had invited him up to his apartment in the days around the murder. I fully believe this man likely saved his own life by declining. This report suggests to me that LM was looking for a victim and that it was less likely as personally of an attack on Lin Jun. Having said that, and not meaning to contradict myself, I can't help but feel maybe LM felt jealous of Lin Jun. Here was a guy who was becoming something, making straight A's, had a part-time job, real friends and even a pet...despite the fact that he was a foreigner! Lin Jun did not have it easy, but he knew who he was and was in pursuit of things that would create him a comfortable and fulfilling life. Additionally, Lin Jun was seemingly so much more pure of heart and significantly less tainted by life. Perhaps some of the wrath and depravity imparted to Lin Jun had NOTHING to do with him at all, but instead of what he represented.
Going back to your first sentence, I also think the neighbor might have been Magnotta's first choice for a victim. I mean, how could he have asked for more irony or sensationalism in his story? By killing a guy who played a killer who dismembered his victims. If I were LRM that would have been my last laugh.
Thank god I'm not him, I like being me very much at this moment. :floorlaugh:
