Nope. He admitted to have said he was, without actually being gangster. Pfft. How pathetic. Also letting out ur frustrations upon such young and innocent people! >_<'' In general just letting out ur frustrations upon others. Jeez.

He sould have killed himself instead of killing those poor innocent people.

Holy shit dude, that article really shocked me. I would never expect something like that to happen in Japan, because Japan has quite a low crime rate. But it seems to have risen in recent time...

That's very very sad.
Not only is that 14 people.
That's 14 families and sets of friends in worry.
And, not only is that just 7 people dead.
That's 7 peoples devastated family and friends.
It gets really sad when you think of it like that..
Those people are gone, their dead... but the ones who loved them.
Ugh.


Tokyo has alotttt of people in it.
Regardless of the Japanese's peaceful culture I'm not surprised the least bit.
There is always bound to be a few bad eggs.

Damn that's crazy. It's extremly sad too, just because HE doesn't want to live anymore he thinks that it's ok to kill others in the process. It unfortantly reminds me of all the school shootings here in the states.

My regards go out to the victims and families

First of all my respects go out the victims families.


I was there only yesterday and would have been there today if it wasn't for Tokyo drift and the toy fair in Odiaba. I only found out when I got off the train at Akiba to play some Gundam kizuna and saw shops closed and cordons out. I asked around and quickly found out that it was a serious event.

There was blood still in the street and camera crews filming it. After getting over the initial shock I made my way back to Ueno feeling very sad about what had happened.
FFS! Akiba is a safe playground for old and young, weird and normal. No-one deserved what this asshole did. I hope he gets the death penalty after a long time in jail.

But I will say this...
Every day in London someone is stabbed and it goes from one up per day. Do not let this sick event in Tokyo make you feel less safe. It was a one off attack not an everyday thing.

My boyfriend just sent me this article, and I realised it was on here. That's really awful though, such a shame there are people like this in the world. As for the families... dear me. I give them my regards too.
