 Tragedy in Akihabara. http://patrickmacias.blogs.com/er/2008/ ... -zoku.htmlI'm really shocked. Not just at the magnitude of the crime or the nature of it, but the fact that you don't expect something like that to happen in Japan. You expect something like that to happen in the US. Westerners are the ones who usually act out on others, Easterners tend to act out on themselves.

Re: Tragedy in Akihabara. Wow, that's crazy.
Sad to hear what happened.
There are just crazy people out there.
Always have to be careful and watch out.

Re: Tragedy in Akihabara. At least there isn't access to assault rifles - or any guns for that matter - here.

Re: Tragedy in Akihabara. datadub wrote: At least there isn't access to assault rifles - or any guns for that matter - here. Well...there was that incident in Sasebo last winter where a guy killed a swimming instructor,her colleague and then himself with a shotgun. Not sure how he got access to one. well, rifles are permitted, strictly for hunting and target shooting though.

Re: Tragedy in Akihabara. no links to verify this yet, but according to my coworker, the police were present for at least 20 minutes as the guy continued to stab people and failed to subdue him--during which time 3 people died. there had been threats on the internet, which led to increased police presence the day prior, but nothing happened so they went back to normal yesterday. they also couldn't get enough ambulances through the crowds.
sounds like another case of mind-boggling police incompetence, like Lindsay Hawker...

Re: Tragedy in Akihabara. There had actually been an increased police presence in Akiba going back a few weeks, stemming from a "street performer crackdown" they'd done.

Re: Tragedy in Akihabara. hillsy11 wrote: There had actually been an increased police presence in Akiba going back a few weeks, stemming from a "street performer crackdown" they'd done. That was for some pop singer showing her underwear to a crowd of people. This is a tragedy and hard to believe I was there almost a year ago. Over the past 9 months since we left there has been a string of mild robbery's too. Go to Nokino Broadway, Akiba doesn't have that much Kaiju anyways.

I think it was a buildup, and the idol singer was the straw that broke the camel's back. I don't know about kaiju specifically, but a very large Mandarake "complex" went up in Akiba a few weeks back, and my understanding is that it's vastly superior to the one in Nakano!
