Ok this one's a puzzler. Can't be kebabs right? Does Japan even have them? IIRC the population of them is like a 1000th of a percent.

What's really telling is he turned himself in afterwards, and it happened at a mental handicap center. Some guy have a schizo episode?

They also got a very stressful work atmosphere and a lot of peer pressure. I can see a tard snapping when he can't handle it. Unlikely to be kebab, though the tard could have gotten the idea from all the violence in the media.

They're in the top 3 suicide rates in the whole world IIRC. Of course that might be a bit inflated by how some unsolved murders miraculously morph into suicides.
 
Kebab attacks with knives are common in places like China, so anything's possible.

If it's a Japanese guy, I am sure the shit political parties in Japan will claim it was because of something like anime or games and use it as an excuse to go all censorship/ban happy.

I thought they shared the 9th-10th place with us. Hungarians tend to go for the rope if they loose their home or job.

Mind, I can believe they went to the third. Still, it is perfectly reasonable to assume that a mentally unsound one snapped, and thought he would take somebody else down with him too.

Dafuq? This man must have been a cross between a samurai and a sushi chef.
 
Hikkikomori uprising. Suspect sammu haidu is still at large.

Japanese people tend to turn themselves in and also confess when caught.
 
This barely registered as noteworthy with me, but apparently it's the worst mass killing in japan in decades. Fuck. This is how used to this shit I've gotten.
Also apparently he went around stabbing disabled people because he was "sick of disabled people"
I say this all the time and I hope I'm not on a list somewhere for it, but if it were rich people getting shot up constantly, things would change pretty fucking quickly. But no, the crazies always have to go after people with absolutely no power at all.
Then again this isn't a western mass killing so I'm just soapboxing pointlessly
 
I don't think it's been mentioned here yet, but the stabbing spree occurred at a facility for the disabled; the BBC clarifies that it was a facility for the mentally, not physically, disabled. Satoshi Uematsu is the name of the attacker. He actually worked at the facility until February.

The killer said that he wanted people with disabilities to disappear, so this was clearly an attack against the disabled. Obviously he's a psycho, but sadly Japan has some real problems with ableism. People with disabilities (both mental and physical) are often seen as drains on society, made worse by the fact that Japanese culture is very much about collectivism.
