We should say, “SEE!, this has nothing to do with guns!!!”. We, too, can play games.

Why would he kill himself? They only killed themselves if they disappoint or bring dishonor. Sounds like the maniac does not feel like he has brought dishonor.

Is it too late to have him speak at the Democrat convention? He didn’t use a gun, he violated social norms and he advocates euthanasia - the Dems would love him.

It should have been a “No knife Zone” to prevent this horrible act in the first place.

But I bet they conveniently leave out why it had nothing to do with Islam (there are almost no Moslems in Japan).

There are mosks all over Japan.
They are also infested with islam, but to a far lesser degree than Western areas.
Japanese aren’t white and don’t have to put up with the guilt of the 3rd Reich and slavery and inventing everything.

Killers will always find a way to kill.

This is all the fault of the NRA.
