A knife-wielding former employee killed 19 people and injured 25 at a care centre for the mentally disabled in Japan on Tuesday, in the country's worst mass killing in decades.
The 26-year-old man later turned himself in at a police station, admitting to officers: "I did it." He reportedly also said: "The disabled should all disappear."
Authorities identified the attacker as Satoshi Uematsu and said he had worked at the facility in Sagamihara, a city of more than 700,000 people west of Tokyo, until February.

"The disabled should all disappear." He'd fit right in at the Democratic National Convention.

Got fired in February. Maybe he didn’t like his severance package.
Freaking maniac.

It sounds to me as though Satoshi Uematsu might be mentally disabled.

If the only knives legal in Japan were butter knives, this never would’ve happened.

If so, I wish he would have simply taken his own advice.
He shouldn’t have been around.

He reportedly also said: "The disabled should all disappear."Whereas the POSOTUS reportedly said, "Take a pill for that."

Every culture has its problems with this topic. Always hard to believe that a person can do something like this.
To: FlingWingFlyer
If he is mentally ill, and a person would almost have to be under these circumstances, it’s really a tragedy for everyone.
What a terrible thing.

To: Fungi
Ban all knives Because, as we all know, Hillary, Obama, the NRA and American politics have a lot to do with events in Japan.
To: r_barton
I’ve heard that in Japan they don’t tell you when your death sentence will be carried out.
Could be lunch....could be death. Who knows?
