What is the connection between unemployed people here and murders? Are they trying to collect life insurance or pension money?

Tragedy, the government should stop all the benefits for unemployed or at least revise it.

Too many people have no motivation to do anything because they either get benefits, welfare, cash from parents etc.

It's the same the whole world over.

(It's the poor what gets the blame)

Seem to have read and commented on this or something like it just yesterday? … Two days ago? … ?

Well, this’ll do:

- Yes, “no guns” are readily available in Japan but sure seems that frustrated & angry Japanese men do periodically take out their frustrations in life on others, lashing out at ‘innocents’, often with either knives or flammables.

Or, BOTH.

I guess the guy really cut off both hands that fed him. Once he realized he couldn't get his parents to take care of him he decided to off them. He will get free meals only under supervision in a jail cell now.
