People must understand when something like this happens, it is too easy to just blame a movie, music, video game, etc.
It isn’t the movie that causes someone to act crazy. They are already crazy, so you can’t blame a movie. Anyone who would randomly start stabbing people on a train had problems way before putting on a purple suit.
The man is obviously deranged.
“A Japanese man dressed as the Joker went on a rampage with a knife while onboard a train in Tokyo — and video of the passengers attempting to flee is absolutely terrifying. Check out this wild footage from inside a subway car Sunday that was heading to the Shinjuku station … where folks were running for their lives after a guy who’s said to be just 24 years old started randomly stabbing people — all while donning a Joker costume,” per TMZ.
You can see passengers from one train car hopping to another in sheer panic and then huddle up together on the opposite end … obviously scared to death. It looks like a movie … but it’s as real as it gets.
Witnesses told police and local media that the man was brandishing a long knife smeared in what looked like blood — something bystanders thought was a Halloween joke — and then he started swinging it, successfully stabbing upwards of 10 people … per reports.
This act of terror is devastating and stupid, given that people could’ve lost their lives had it been a mass shooting.
Kids could’ve gotten stabbed, and the cops reported 17 people were injured in the aftermath of the attempted murder.
The man was arrested, and no motive was released on why he tried to set the train on fire along with stabbing civilians. The motive seems very clear to me. The man is insane and should never see the outside of a prison ever again. Thankfully no one lost their lives.
