Ok this one's a puzzler. Can't be kebabs right? Does Japan even have them? IIRC the population of them is like a 1000th of a percent.

A few kebabs in Tokyo but you don't notice them (Except the somalis in Roppongi.). The only two I saw were indeed working at a kebab stand near Ueno station.

What's really telling is he turned himself in afterwards, and it happened at a mental handicap center. Some guy have a schizo episode?

0.008% among Japanese and 0.08% among expats, most of which are Indonesian.

They also got a very stressful work atmosphere and a lot of peer pressure. I can see a tard snapping when he can't handle it. Unlikely to be kebab, though the tard could have gotten the idea from all the violence in the media.

Finally, a legitimate case of "workplace violence!" I do hope they don't blame otaku, and instead a more-likely radical Islamic terrorism copycat.

I don't think it's been mentioned here yet, but the stabbing spree occurred at a facility for the disabled; the BBC clarifies that it was a facility for the mentally, not physically, disabled. Satoshi Uematsu is the name of the attacker. He actually worked at the facility until February.

The killer said that he wanted people with disabilities to disappear, so this was clearly an attack against the disabled. Obviously he's a psycho, but sadly Japan has some real problems with ableism. People with disabilities (both mental and physical) are often seen as drains on society, made worse by the fact that Japanese culture is very much about collectivism.

We threw people with disabilities out on the street during deinstitutionalization in the 1950s-1960s for the same argument they were drains on society, so criticizing Japan for perceived ableism is orientalist and contradictory. I'm no proponent of state institutionalization, but autistic manchildren receiving Monthly Tugboats to facilitate illness with Lego and transsexual paraphernalia is a shitty alternative.

What will be a drain on society for Japan is feeding this cunt three square meals a day as he awaits court dates with a public defender, sits on death row after sentencing, and files countless appeals. The Akihabara Slasher from 2008 still hasn't been executed, even after the sentence was upheld twice. A bigger problem Japan faces, along with Europe and likely so will we, is an aging native population, which cucks use as an excuse to import millions of muds. The changes to Social Security in 1965 from deinstitutionalization already has been a major drain on the American workforce.

As for collectivism, meh that's debatable. It certainly swings back and forth between collectivism and individualism, as do many other Westernized and historically Western countries and cultures.
