Has the frequency of these mass murders been occurring all the time for a LONG time, or have I had blinders on all these years and haven't heard about it? Or is these mass murders over the globe some new 'hot' button the media jumps all over?

Beat ya by 19 minutes, but I'll close mine and leave this one open.

I think the crazies are trying to out do each other in a sick game of horror.

This was a home for disabled people.

Tragic and horrible news. Nonetheless, where is Hilary and her ilk (all Anti-2ndA) to call for ban on assault knives.

Very saddening and maddening. We all need to be diligently aware of our surroundings when out and about.

You mean like these? http://www.echo-news.co.uk/NEWS/1463782 ... f_Thrones/

BTW, there's a priceless photo accompanying the article of a woman standing in front of a UK "Knife Bin" where people can relinquish all manner of deadly items...like kitchen knives, forks, and screwdrivers. Under the banner, "Only Cowards Carry," is a headshot Tickle Me Elmo. :???:

It's the fault of the Japanese National Knife Association.

I personally would like to see specific laws banning "sharpened earrings" as the article suggests. This has become a massive issue in the USA and needs to be addressed here also! Hahahahahahahahahaha!
I just sent this to my brother-in-law who is English and lives in Houston. I can't wait to get his reaction, by the way he owns more guns than and I do!

Used to spend a lot of time in Sagamihara. Cool area with lots to do there.

Horrible crime.
