TOKYO — At least 15 people have been stabbed to death at a facility for people with disabilities outside Tokyo, Japanese media reported early Tuesday, describing the kind of mass-casualty attack that is extremely rare in Japan.

A knife-wielding man apparently went on a rampage at the facility in Sagamihara, west of Tokyo. Citing police, the Kyodo news agency said 19 people were dead, while public broadcaster NHK said 15 were killed.

As many as several dozen people were injured, the reports said.

A man in his 20s has been arrested, NHK reported, but there were few details about him or what prompted his bloody assault.

The man was reportedly a former employee and turned himself in to the Sagamihara police station.

in the city of Akihabara in which seven people were killed after a man in a truck plowed into a crowd of shoppers, then stabbed several bystanders.

The death toll in Tuesday’s rampage was higher than in the 1995 sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway, carried out by members of the Aum Shinrikyo cult, in which 12 people were killed and 50 severely injured.

Knife-wielding attackers kill 29 at China train station - CNN.com

So are these people disabled or similarly helpless?




The moral of the story is if someone is a psycho they will find any way possible to accomplish their sick and twisted goals.

These mass knife attacks happen about once everything 10 years, and always involve extenuating circumstances like the victims being children or disabled or TEN trained attackers working at once.

Meanwhile, random teenagers and mentally ill guys are pulling off mass shootings on the public almost on the daily.

This equivlence narrative is bullshyt.

damn one pyscho used a knife to kill 29 people in china .. some beta ass victims. oh it wasn't one guy. a coordinated attack involving 10 people would create chaos and confusion (feeling helpless), people don't even have time to think about ganging up on an attacker.

10 yrs? More like every 10 minutes.
This is Japan, samurai nation.

They swordfight and cut off enemy ponytails on the regular.
