Who are some writers that have (directly) killed people before? Accidents don't count.

Wait 6 months and you'll be able to add my name.

Some people just...do not listen. And so, they have to be taught. My teacher, was fantastic...one Dr. Josef Mengele. Didn't want to learn, but forced myself. Now, I am going to be the teacher. I say 6 months because I don't think I'll be able to keep her, sorry...it...alive longer than that...I would if I could. Death will be the most kind thing to happen and...it's really easy. One simply has to teach onesself...that the other is not human, not animal not anything deserving of anything resembling mercy. And it's ending will be a mercy that frankly, I do not wish to grant it. I'm just not talented enough to keep it around longer. But I've already fashioned it's final spot and will introduce it to where it will...you ever see the video for Metallica's "One"? That...is only the beginning. It will learn the TRUE meaning of "fate worse than death"...pity it won't have any way to communicate that lesson...those lessons.

Issei Sagawa. Killed an ate a woman in Paris, convicted, sentenced, sent back to Japan, got released because of quirk in Japanese law, became a food critic. Also wrote some books about his deeds and living a life where everyone knows you are a cannibal and murderer.

wasnt he a necrophiliac and the book was more just a publicity thing? i remember it having drawings and shit. Also he wrote about the murder and necrophilia itself, not about him having to deal with the consequences of his actions iirc.

He was that also, he spent a few days in the apartment eating bits of her and fucking her corpse. He wrote a few books on it all. He wrote the book and others because he could not get any work, no one would hire him because of his past. Weirdly the experience of living as an outcast in Japan reformed him, made him empathetic to the suffering of others and could not bring himself to commit another crime just so he could go to prison.
>>23075264
He didn't agree, maybe at first but he eventually came to see his life being free was worse than prison but he weirdly was reformed. The quirk was that Japanese Law prohibits them from retrying someone from overseas and France judged him insane and gave him life, Japanese law does not allow for life sentences for that. If they gave him life for murder he would have spent his life in prison.

He writes about it in his memoirs. He said that was the turning point for his anti-war sentiments since he was told the city was full of Germans only to find out later that not a single German resided in that city
