14 people stabbed in Akihabara


A 25-year-old yakuza named Tomohiro Kato completely ruined everyone’s day just now, driving into a crowd in Akihabara and then stabbing 15 people, with 5 of them in cardiac arrest. The pointless TV media attention has just been dying down, but now I guess it’ll be back for a while, and even worse. Patrick thinks it’s going to mess up everything, but hopefully it’s going to reflect badly on the Yakuza and not on the Tsukihime remake!?

alex: holy shit it was right out side the fucking sofmap

Darn.

Anyone else think this is something you’re more likely to see Grand Theft Auto?
