Robert Ackermann, also known as the Vienna cannibal, was a 19 businessman and doctor impersonator with a morbid curiosity about the inner workings of the human body who, after several hospitalizations for untreated schizoaffective psychosis, murdered his roommate, ate him, and then tried to blame it on mice. Yes, mice. Other criminals fear Ackermann enough to choose prison over the possibility of being eaten alive by Ackermann at Austria's Goellersdorf, a high-security mental hospital for the criminally insane. In my opinion, Robert should have his way with some of these criminals and serve justice on a silver platter.
