Stabbing rampage in Akihabara [Tokyo]: 7 people killed
 

After seeing JRockaddict's thread about Junko Furuta's murder I've been doing research on the crime in Japan, and wondered if anyone else knew that there was a massacre in Akihabara 7 months ago? I haven't seen this anywhere yet but I was surprised when I did. :( Seems like the whole world is losing their minds. It\'s sad...and disgusting. I feel so bad for the families of the victims that were killed at random for absolutely no reason.

Akihabara massacre - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

yeah that sucked. i read it in a magazine around that time. but the incident brought everyone from the area together in a way. they left memorabilia and such for the people who were killed which was a nice thing.

Yeah, I read that people made a memorial the same day that this happened. That is really sweet. It also said that passersby stopped and tried to help the victims. If I had been there I would have done that too.

yea, there was a thread made on it in the news forum; Here

apparently the man was "mentally disturbed"

Ohh, I\'m sorry. I still don\'t really know how to check if there has already been threads made for the things I post. Thank you. I just saw this today and it made me sad and angry so I wanted to post it.

Dude. D:

I feel bad for the victims\' families...

Were there any... Condolences, or some kind of pension for the loss? Or is it just another death to the government?

Look at the wikipedia link I posted a couple posts up.
