Pardon me for making an outsider's observation, but it appears to me that in Japan you have either extremely safe and no crime / complete safety and courtesy (most of the time), or 0.1% of the time some guy goes off his rocker and kills many, many people or something like this.
- bigDinosaur 4y agoThere's no place anywhere ever where nobody ever 'goes off their rocker'.
- franciscop 4y agoNo they don't "kill many people", you do hear about the eventual "knife attack" but the death victims are normally 0-5. In this particular case, which is already an exception because of a handmade gun (apparently) instead of a knife, there's 1 single victim and it's still unknown whether Abe will survive. Edit: as someone living in Japan. Maybe not living here you do only hear about the once in 5-10 years attacks where there are more victims, but living in here you hear about an attack once-twice a year and they are pretty mild as I explained.
- Aeolun 4y agoYeah, like the guy that went off his rocker half a year back, and burned 30ish people to death in his psychiatric clinic. Or the other guy that was probably the inspiration for that and burned down the Kyoto animation office (34 deaths). Not all of them are pretty mild. To be fair, not a weekly event like in the US either.
- kepler1 4y agoI was thinking about the arson attacks (Kyoto and Osaka, and others) and some mass stabbings.
