One thing that really scares me about this whole thing is that if this is a Kira-wannabe, does it mean s/he's planning on making this a killing spree? Light practically basked in the media attention (OK, not really), and it was one of the things that especially kept him at it-- the idea that the entire world knew and feared his judgement. If this psychopath thinks that he too is passing "judgement," then this kind of stuff might continue. Horrible.
Although the sheer immaturity of this killer makes me almost think that it's not a matter of "judgement" as much as it is "Wow, Death Note's so cool! I want to be a cool killer like Light!" ...Kids ruin EVERYTHING, I swear. |

I can. Once again: People make their own choices. Tv doesn't say: Kill people now! And...I could have sworn in Death Note people weren't dismembered. I think they've got the wrong manga. I wonder if when they catch this person they're going to say they were influenced by someone with a Death Note. |

Nah, I didn't actually mean that.
*cough* Unless it does. But this wasn't a case of that. |

SIGH
This person is either totally crazy or trying to get attention. Why can't people ruin media that I don't like? |

The killer probably went with the dismembering method because he/she realized that he/she could not magically give people heart attacks |

What was that old cliché about one bad apple? Wait, why is there a crowd heading this way with a large tub of hot tar?

I doubt Death Note influenced the person too much in this case, since the method is so dissimilar from the actual anime. It's probably someone who was already very disturbed, and would've killed and made a reference to ANY violent media. If it wasn't Death Note, it would've been Halo 3 or some horror movie or some violent lyrics. It's unfortunate that Death Note was (or appears to have been) the trigger this time, but I don't think it means the show is responsible for the killings. Particularly since, as people have pointed out, anyone that's mature and emotionally sound can easily tell that the show is about how killing DOESN'T promote justice, and in fact makes you just as bad as those you claim you're bringing justice to.
I don't think this should or will affect the [as] showing of Death Note. I'd feel a little more neutral if this event happened here in the states, but it's in another country and has only a vague connection to the show. |

I'll concede that people can be inspired to take actions based on what they see in media.
HOWEVER, that said, media can not create problems that are not already present. It's like a brushfire:A spark wont catch anything without something that's flammable to land on. But nonetheless the fault lies, if with anyone, with either the individual taking the action or those supervising the individual(parents for example). Not with the media that served as the trigger. |

Quoted for truth. Another scary aspect is I wonder what kind of people is he/she targeting. What are the criteria you must meet in order for him/her to think that you no longer belong in the relm of the living. What kind of thing is he/she looking for in the people that are targeted. Kinda very scary. How many of us would possess such traits in the killers minds-eye. |

well, this is just the same as blaming the shooting up and violent games for all the violent and gun related crimes. they didn't pull all those games out from the market, they can't take death note away. |

Most people with that sort of mindset find flaws in trivial things, much like the aforementioned flunkie(I forget his name currently and don't have my D-N mangas handy).
Like "Oh that teenager is bullying that kid." despite almost every kid in school doing some level of bullying and fighting throughout their school career. Usually it's just a matter of them viewing the world from a very one-sided perspective, like any fanatic. |

but in the anime, did the line "watashi wa kira desu" even occur?
there's the famous "watashi wa L desu" line in the university but that's it? even when Light admitted to it, he used boku and not watashi right? |
