Submitted by Alafista on Sunday, 8 June 20088 Comments
I’m sure many of you might have heard by now, a mad men went on a stabbing rampage in Akihabara and randomly attacked 18 people, with 7 of his victims subsequently dying.
He first drove his truck into Akiba, ran down 3 people with the truck before climbing out and starting his horrifying stabbing run.
All these took place on Sunday, where most people and otaku are gathered, which explains the high number of stabbings before he was taken down by the police.
The reason he gave for his action:
I became sick of the world. I came to Akihabara to kill
I wonder why he chose Akihara as the site for his rampage and not elsewhere.

This is just another case of a guy wanting attention! “I became sick of the world” Kill yourself then why ruin it for the rest of us, i bet his wife left him or he lost all his money or summin, that or hes a psychotic emo. You have to feel for those people that he hurt and killed, no reason for it at all
It’s so sad that those people were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Six men and one women died…He may have had no one but theres no reason to take away someone else’s someone. Whatever’s wrong with him, it doesn’t event measure up to these people’s lives…freaking jerk.
