a fantasy would be anyone
a specific person is a plot.
but, since they're gunning people down with impunity, what's a little 'fantasized' cannibalism

As I said earlier in this thread I haven't followed the case that closely so I don't have every detail, but what I have read makes it sound like the people he had contacted were all online and all part of a fetish fantasy website. I have no problem with investigating a person who might be plotting to carry out some kind of attack on another person. I do have a problem with a guy potentially being thrown in jail for life when he actually didn't do anything but write down some fucked up thoughts.
I understand where you are coming from. If nothing had been done and these writings turned out to not just be a fantasy and he really killed her and ate her, people would be up in arms about the authorities not doing anything to protect her. However, I think there were many steps that could have been taking to determine where this guy was at mentally before they decided to charge him and put him in jail.
