Omg this is freakin scary, but then again we dont know the whole story, like any history behind the stabbing or is there any long time bad blood between the victim and the perp, so can't really comment on this case. The crime is around afternoon time, so just gotta admit, the perp's got grapefruits for balls.

Have you thought about the inordinate number of crimes committed here in Japan with a knife? It seems like the stabbings are increasing each day.
When will this country address the important issue of mental health care? Counseling may be taboo to the Japanese, but it is absolutely essential to the well-being of society!
