A crazed man killed 7 people and wounded many others in busy, anime-heaven Akihabara today. Chilling, considering the number of people (including many students) who would go there during the weekend, especially on Sunday when the main street is closed to cars.

Here's hoping all the injured recover quickly.
Which makes me wonder - how long must the police have taken to bring this man (who I think is not unlike a suicide bomber) who killed without any regard at all. Such cases are, sadly not entirely surprising in Japan.
