Japan: A repressed Culture
The SOB said he was tired of life, but instead of doing the usual “honorable thing” he drove a rental truck into a crowd of pedestrians at the crowded Tokyo shopping street in Akihabara, before walking down the street stabbing people.
“I came to Akihabara to kill people,” the attacker as told police. “I am tired of the world. Anyone was OK. I came alone.”

“The man jumped on top of a man he had hit with his vehicle and stabbed him with a knife many times,” Kyodo quoted a 19-year-old witness as saying. “Walking toward Akihabara Station, he slashed nearby people at random.”
A Tokyo police spokesman said at least seven people had been killed and 12 wounded.
Witnesses said the rampage ended when an armed policeman confronted the man, who was yelling as he slashed the passers by.
“The rampage came on the seventh anniversary of a massacre at a Japanese primary school, when a knife-wielding janitor and former mental patient killed eight schoolchildren. He was later executed for the killings.” Reuters reported.
