@ Q: Wow, thankfully you weren’t there on the day itself >_>. I can’t imagine what I would feel if that happens to me

@ B1: What he did is a crime, and whether he gets the sentence or not is up to the law to deal with him ><. We can only leave our comments and see how this goes..

@Q: my first time to akihabara was ON the day of the incident! Crowds were gathered at certain locations and there were helicopters, I didn’t know what had happened, till I came back to the hotel and browsed the internet ^^;

aa – ask yourself this – ‘why did he do it?’. If you can come up with a RATIONAL reason for it, then yes, I think you can say he deserves to die. What do I mean by rational? Well, for instance a robber taking a gun to a crime and killing someone in order to commit the crime, or perhaps someone murdering someone to collect insurance on them. But this? He didn’t even know who he was killing. I don’t find it the behavior of a rational mind. The man is obviously very ill mentally. The only thing that killing him would achieve is a fulfillment of revenge, which in my book is no better than murder itself.

I remember I was in Akihabara the day BEFORE the murder happened. It was all peaceful and normal just like it used to be. Never would have thought that the day after that would be so different.
