Up to 15 feared dead in knife attack on disabled care home in Japan

[SlyPokerDog]

A 26-year-old was arrested Tuesday morning after fatally stabbing 15 people and wounding 45 others at a facility for people with disabilities in Kanagawa Prefecture, NHK reported.

The knife-wielding man carried out the attack at Tsukui Yamayuri-en, a facility for the disabled in Sagamihara, shortly after 2:30 a.m. Tuesday, local police were quoted as saying.

Kanagawa police said they arrested the man, identified as Satoshi Uematsu, 26, when he turned himself in at the Tsukui Police Station at around 3 a.m. and owned up to the attack. He is reportedly being held on initial suspicion of attempted murder. The suspect said he used to work at the facitlity, the police said.

The attack may be one of Japan’s worst single-perpetrator mass murders in the postwar era.

It is believed the killing is the deadliest since the 1938 Tsuyama massacre which left 31 dead.

No guns, mass murder.

It's always sad and shocking.

But there seems to be a bunch of these kinds of incidents all over the world lately.

Ban assault knives!!!!

Ban assault knives!!!!

We need limits on knife size! 10 inches, no more! Nobody needs a 100 inch knife that kills 100 people a second!

In all seriousness, my thoughts and prayers are with my fellow Otakus tonight.

Japan does have the death penalty (hanging). I look forward to a swift trial and execution.

Japan's death penalty is the Hari Kari.

Seppuku; ritualistic suicide? To be honest, I don't think anyone in Japan has performed that in decades; a hundred years at least. I could be wrong though; they are a very honor-bound society.

I thought only guns killed people? How can a muderer be a murderer without a gun?

I watched a live fire for time testing firearm magazine size.

Results: The size of the magazine did not affect the time it took to fire a large number of rounds by very much. It only takes a second or two to change magazines. A shooter that is planning a mass murder always carries extra magazines, regardless of how many rounds the magazine holds.

One live fire test used the same pistol but with different magazine limits, two 15 round magazines, time tested against three 10 round magazines. 30 rounds total each.

There was only a few seconds difference to fire all 30 rounds with each magazine limit. I believe it took about 22 seconds with the three mags, and 18 seconds with 2 mags (if my memory is on today).

Bottom line. Limiting the magazine size to 10 rounds is not going to save any lives. It is just another feel good miss-information campaign by those trying to take away the rights others.

I know! Liberals tell us only guns and the NRA murder people! But how can this be in Japan?

You nailed it, my friend. Many anti-gun people conveniently ignore the AWB that was in place during Columbine, and the fact that both killers used 10 round magazines. Sure didn't help there, huh?

WhAt was that stupid ass Obama quote? Something about how crime like this doesn't happen anywhere but here?

Something stupid like that. Yet here we are with knife attacks and shootings across the ocean...

Its not about logic or saving lives. Its about liberals taking something from constitution loving americans to feel powerful. Neener neener we took your toys. Liberals are fucking grade school kids that never grew up mentally. Thats why they still cry for special treatment. Wheres my 45th place prize for the fucking spelling bee?

My wife just told me about a donut shop that put out a presser that said it didn't want vegans and shit to apply at their place because they will not serve vegan donuts. Bacon, is on/in them, among other ingredients.

Then they were being called discriminatory to vegas and vegetarians. LOL. Only in fucking Portland.... swear to Christ... these people...

The owner seemed pretty cool about it. Said he wanted people that would eat his donuts so they could offer opinions to customers on favorites. Seems reasonable.

Vegans and/or dietary restrictions are not a protected class. So the assholes complaining can go f themselves.

Yeah, I thought it was g'damn funny. I couldn't believe it. Just had to shake my head and internally scream WTF. haha.

Damn liberals, that's the difference between the parties, they never miss a chance to politicize a mass murder. The bodies aren't even cold yet and they can't stop talking about guns.

The whole protected class thing should fuck off. All humans should be equal. No one needs to be discriminated on and no one needs special fucking treatment.

Oh yeah, let's turn one of the sickest things in recent memory into a gun debate.

Unfortunately, Braindude is known to shit-post from time to time. Whether he was making a joke or not though, agendas likely will be made from this tragedy. :\
