Doesn't matter if you have a gun, knife or bomb.  Crazy is crazy.  And they will find a way.  Crazy is also the biggest excuse, since it seems like the bar that determines if you are crazy is getting lower and lower.  I think under the current guidelines, 99% of AW.com would be considered crazy.  Then there is me, and you are all just a figment of my imagination.

Crazy and devaluation of human life are two different things.

“I did it,” 26-year-old Satoshi Uematsu announced to police upon turning himself in at a police station at 3 a.m., a half hour after the attack, according to police in Kanagawa prefecture.

He was arrested on charges of trespassing and attempted murder — since the deaths had not yet been confirmed.

The attack has been reported as Japan’s largest mass slaying by a lone killer since World War II.

Uematsu was wearing a black shirt and slacks when he turned himself in, and had dyed blond hair, police reported.

Detectives escorted him back to the scene of the killings in a search for weapons and were interrogating him about the motivation and circumstances of the attack.

Uematsu, who identified himself as a former employee at the facility, told police in his initial statement that “it would be better if all the damn handicapped just went away.”

Makes our paltry single stabbing at work today seem insignificant - although we did have to airlift the guy.

Just another day at the office.

Shanking is a little more badass than than stabbing
