Murder spree leaves 7 dead in Akihabara
Jun. 9th, 2008 04:56 pmOn a seemingly quiet Sunday afternoon, seven people were mercilessly killed in a violent stabbing spree in Akihabara.
I could say that it takes such a calamity to shake the anime community out of their sugar-coated 2D worlds (where violence is stuck in a TV-box, or filled with Magical Girls) but it's irrelevant to go on at the moment. People have been killed without cause.
Something is seriously wrong with society - not just Japanese society - when people start killing other people because they are sick of living.
The Gnola Eay will now suspend updates for a day for the departed, and hope that the injured have a speedy recovery, both physically and mentally.
I hope that nothing like this happens when I head down to Tokyo next month. Not for the safety of myself, but for the safety of others.

It's things like this that make me think, what if I snap? Just like him?
