Stabbing rampage in Akihabara [Tokyo]: 7 people killed - 01-19-2009, 11:37 PM

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.

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.

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?


The color of the sala flower reveals the truth that is... To flourish is to fall. The proud do not endure.

Heaven or Hell, Let's Rock!

Like a passing dream on a night in Spring. The mighty fall at last, to be no more than dust before the wind.
