I noticed alot of posts saying how could this happen and what a sick guy. After living in Japan for awhile this kind of action makes sense to me. If you really start to understand the Japanese culture and what they go through I am surprised more peopel don't go off their rocker. Japanese are amazing people and I have many Japanese friends so I don't mean this in a bad way, I'm just sharing what I have seen personally during my time in Japan. The ammount of pressure from society, conformism, and shame that these people go through is absulutely unreal. People say this just doesn't make sense in such a perfect society. Well look at Japans suicide rates those figures don't make sense either. They are right up there with the desperatly poor countries in which people have nothing to live for. Its just most people are in tune and respect society enough not to take people with them. Many people in Japan want to die and its sad. I would really encourage people to study Japan, learn about them. Try to start genuine relationships with them, and help them find some healing from such an opressive and confusing culture. Also remember no cultureis perfect and we sure as heck have a crazy amount of prolems here that. We could learn alot from the Japanese in things such as respect, community, etc. This really is a tragedy. I noticed alot of posts saying how could this happen and what a sick guy.

Fate was at work in Akihabara. However; we are to blame if someone from our community is pushed to the brink of irrationality, for it is our neglect of this troubled individual that silently allowed him to further believe that his actions would be justified in some manner, to himself. There was no one to talk him out of his plans or have him seek help... My heart goes out to the families, relatives and friends of those whom we have lost forever.

Even if he is sentenced to death, he will spend a long time (possibly decades) on death row before the sentence is carried out.

In Japan, criminals sentenced to death almost always spend MANY years on death row.

The fact that the perpetrator is a nihonjin doesn't mean that all nihonjin are a wacko psycho. Although from this incident, I think Japan should re-examine their mental health care system. and if you feel that gaijin are safer than nihonjin, you definitely need to get your facts checked. I believe (don't quote me on this one) America has a very high rate of violent crimes. (albeit decreasing) I agree with everybody else that first of all, crimes doesn’t have anything to do with race.

Sarin gas released on numerous commuter trains underground with little to no ventilation during rush hour in the second most populous city in the world, and the death toll only reached twelve people, with fifty injuries. Consider the scale of the attack, the incredible strain on what emergency system exists from such a mass and unprecedented inrush of victims, and then compare it with terrorist attacks in other modernized nations. Twelve deaths in a large-scale nerve gas attack is miraculous, and would be even in a U.S. city with a much lower population density. Japan's emergency response has plenty of holes, to be sure, but I wouldn't knock it as sub-par. You have a point, but consider the Aum Shinrikyo attack on the Tokyo Metro Subway in ‘95.

Then all of a sudden, the driver comes out and proceeds slashing and stabbing anyone within his vicinity. Even more chaos and panic ensues. Rumors start going around in the crowd that there is a sarin gas attack, someone elses says someone has been stabbed, others fear it is a terrorist attack taking place. Given if YOU were in that exact scenario, what would YOU be thinking and doing? Some of you clowns are good at being able to armchair analyze everything AFTER the fact. If you've never been in this sort of situation before (I have and you have little clue on what is really happening at the time), STFU and consider yourself lucky.
