Police catch man eating friend’s liver
I don’t know anyone with a job that chooses to eat liver.
Where liver is supposed to come from.
But in Russia, some dude likes it so much he ate the liver of his friend.
A Reuters article says Moscow police tracked the man to his kitchen after discovering a trail of severed body parts including a head.
“When the police came to arrest the suspect, he was eating a human liver with potatoes,” a police spokeswoman for the Moscow’s western district said by telephone in the article.
The rest of the human liver was found in a refrigerator.
The suspect “admitted his crime and that he had eaten part of his acquaintance’s liver,” the prosecutor general’s main investigative unit said in a statement.
There was no mention of grilled onions.

George Mathis, do you think this is funny? He cut up a human being and your article jokes about grilled onions?? You should be ashamed of yourself and so should the editor who allowed you to end this story with a joke as if it’s funny.

You want fries with that liver? How about some fava beans and a nice chianti?

George it is disrespectful, insensitive to the victim’s family, and just crude of you to joke about a cruel murder and then eating of the victims liver. This coldness and lack of empathy you show is a big part of what is wrong in modern times and of modern people. So your comment makes many people think it’s ok to joke which leads to action of the same thing.
Stacy said it 1st but you are wrong -not funny- for your “joke”. Please think about the consequences of your words before you print them. Also shame on your boss. I’m sure you have one too most of do.
It’s too bad she is too wimpy to tell you NO! that is wrong and goes too far and is just juvinile. oh, did I say she? I do not mean to be mean to assume your boss is a female, whoever your boss is I just thought was weak.

I’m disgusted that the writer of this article – and the Editor of this newspaper – make light of an absolutely horrific crime. Your poor taste in humor in this article makes you sound sick. Come on, a little class, please.

This is horrendous! If that poor soul was American there would be all kinds of backlash. Just because he was a citizen of another country and it happened beyond our borders, you find it funny that this happened! You just spit in the solemn faces of the victim and those who mourned him/her. May this Memorial Day weekend shine brightly on the victim’s loved ones as they mourn.

Well, George, the perp mentioned in the article may be a monster, but your handling of the material indicates pretty clearly that you, yourself are a psychopath. Thanks for warning the rest of us.

Hilarious! It’s about time someone had a sense of humor about these things.

This is not the first mention of cannibalism in Russia I’ve read about. Previously it was some alley bums who ate a companion. China has taken to it in the past, Korea even -and perhaps Japan. Now Russia, Also your joking was at best, unprofessional !

Wow, the AJC has stooped to a new level of low and I will never read another article by George Mathis. This crime was horrible and the perpetrator is obviously insane. The fact that you would find humour in that is a sign of the tacky times we live in.
In response to Paul Wilson, there have also been instances of cannibalism in America. The most famous in recent history would be Jeffrey Dahmer. Let’s not think this is some aberation that happens “over there”.
