Japan: One Man Dead, Six Hurt After Stabbing Spree

One person was killed and six others injured Saturday when a man went on a stabbing rampage in central Japan — the latest in a series of such sprees in the country in the last few months.

The attacks occured during a festival at a shrine in Ishikawa Prefecture, when a man was seen indiscriminately slashing people with a sickle, the Kyodo news agency reported.

Police arrested a 42-year-old vendor, Toshiaki Arai, and charged him with killing a 30-year-old man and wounding six others, Kyodo said. The Associated Press reported that Arai told police he was angry that customers had made fun of him.

What the hell is the matter with everyone these days. For crying out loud, one guy goes on a stabbing rampage, so now everyone else has to copycat the same crime? How about next time we just leave innocent people out of it? Ok?
