Kyoto Animation studio set on fire, 35 fatalities

[Bluelight-R006]

Good deal. I’m glad he’s conscious and ready to face the music for what he did.

"Your honor, I was simply high off of PCP! I just woke up here in this hospital wing!"

Truthfully speaking though, he still killed 35 people. That isn’t an excuse.

He can’t escape now... I hope.

[Duhon]

Another of the injured has reportedly deceased.

We are now at 35.

So Yasuhiro Takemoto's confirmed dead. I see.

Fuck.

See, this tragedy could have been avoided if there was either armed security or an armed employee.

Shoot a guy carrying shitload of flammable liquid, what could possibly go wrong?

Murika.

This isn't GTA V. Bullets have a very low chance of igniting gasoline. I'm assuming armed security would have enough training to shoot him without hitting his arsenal. Also, not American.

EDIT: Science. The temperature of a 9mm bullet leaving the barrel of a pistol is approximately 512° F. The bullet cools as it travels to its target. The base autoignition temperature of gasoline is 536° F, in the most optimal conditions. So no, a bullet fired by a security guard would not ignite gasoline.

Considering how bad Japanese work culture is, I’m not sure if you want armed employees…

If you arm as many people as possible, then there will always be someone to shoot the shooter and save everybody!

Yes, because it's common even in America for animation studios to have security guards or employees openly carrying firearms. Obviously.

Not necessarily. I’m pretty sure the western way is not the best solution to something that happened in Asia. Also considering how the working lifestyle there has an impact on such subject.

Just because the NRA says the solution to everything is more guns doesn't make it true.

Quite the opposite in fact.

Japan, which has gun laws so draconian I am surprised that NRA members don't spontaneously combust when they come over here, had, IIRC, 4 firearm related deaths last year. 126 million people, only 4 shot to death.

America had how many?

I believe Japan's stopped other tragedies already and the Japanese public seems to be in agreement with this too.

Minus the talking point, one thing worth noting is that the building DID have a security system in place that possibly would have prevented the arsonist from accessing the building. But, it had been turned off for the day due to a high volume of expected VIPs coming in for a tour.

Nah, make it a long horrible stay in a backwater prison. A quick death is too good an outcome for someone who caused so much pain and death.

Assuming he does get the death penalty, he will have to endure quite a bit. Japan does conduct capital punishment, but it's system is notorious for the mental suffering inflicted on those condemned to die.

Given the situation I think that is only fitting.

I sincerely hope he lingers in jail, time passing painfully slow, until he passes away naturally. Death is far too easy.

Or better yet, that he dies in jail of old age while being strung along that he is going to be executed any day now. This man killed 35 artists. He should die a hundred deaths.

I believe that would violate international law.

Anyone that spiteful is not all there in the head. I would not be surprised if there's a chance the intellectual property theft he ranted about was imagined.

If laws are wrong and unjust than it is the laws which need changing.

That is exactly what will happen, excepting that he will be hanged if he gets the death penalty. Japan does not inform the condemned of when it will happen until the day of. So every morning, when the guards make their rounds, each prisoner must wonder if today is it. Will they stop by my cell today and tell me I must come with them to die.

Cruel, but just. Perhaps he should be taunted with extra fear and unneeded laughter from his cell mates. With this in mind, the families could finally get peace.

Yeah, may they find peace.

[Old Tyrannia]

I'm a bit late to the thread, but I heard about this whilst I was on holiday. Really distressing news. I watched A Silent Voice earlier this year after a difficult event in my personal life, and it genuinely touched me in a way media almost never does. It's difficult, then, to hear that the people who created something I drew comfort from at a difficult time should be subjected to so utterly horrible an experience themselves; it's hard to get to grips with the cosmic injustice of that. I will keep all the victims in my prayers.

I don't believe in the death penalty as a matter of principle, but in any jurisdiction where it continues to exist this would be the sort of crime that definitely merits it.

What comfort is it to them to find that man dead, hanging from a noose?
