I guess he got tackled and hospitalized. On the way to the hospital he admitted to doing it.

I'm kind of wondering how he managed to kill so many.

Sprinklers, firefighters and open windows make you feel so safe until you read stuff like this.

Crazy. I'm surprised it's Japan, their murder rate is very low.

Yeah I'd heard about this, and that the perp basically said he did it because they plagiarized him.

My sibling says he males them rethink their stance on the death penalty. Sibling is overall against it. I'm not sure what to think on that front, kinda feels like the guy is disturbed and snapped. I don't know. I'm not saying that I feel bad for him, to be clear, but unsure how they should proceed. I'll admit I don't even know about the Japanese judicial system or general punishment stuff.

Regardless, tragic and messed up.

Barring World War II, this is their worst attack since the 1930s.

With the information we have now he seemed disturbed, he apparently sent death threats to the studio prior to the attack but didn't say in the threats why. Just that they should die. It was after the attack when he was stumbling in the streets that eye witnesses said they heard him rambling about how his idea was stolen.

Not that being disturbed makes what he did forgivable.

There have been other cases of a mass attack in Japan before. There was a pretty big one back in 2016 or 2017. This guy managed to kill quite a few more, though. Very sad and unfortunate event.

Actually, my bad, I kind of misread what you wrote. I guess the death toll is kind of the worst Japan has seen in a very long time. I don't think that cult that released the nerve gas in the subway actually killed many people, just got thousands sick.

Agreed tbh. But just saying IDK about death penalty or treatment or what to do personally.

At the least, it's a bad idea to have someone that violent on the streets like that.

and youtube. There's actually a youtuber defends the suspect acted in self-defence. Some twitter went on about starting afternoon tea time and arsonist beat them to it. and so on.

Personally I'm just basking in the irony of some of the edgy weebs around the internet, the types to make snarky comments after the report of a school shooting, wailing and gnashing their teeth. Mind you, I'm not happy this happened or anything. I simply feel nothing since it has no connection with me, just like 99.999% of the "tragedies" in the world.

Most people who perpetrate these kinds of attacks are mentally ill which makes the death penalty seem worse, not better, tbh.

Yep, it was very bad and had thousands of injuries but the actual death toll for the gas attacks was 13, 1 indirectly after 14 years of hospitalization.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_subway_sarin_attack
The worst case before this one was the guy who stabbed elderly people in a care home who killed 19 and injured 26 in 2016 but the casualties, both for deaths and injuries, were less than here.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sagamihara_stabbings
(Now that I look at it, 33 is actually one more worse than the death toll from those two combined. )

Really depends on how you define 'bad'. While the subway attacks killed less people, there were a LOT of injured people and sarin can cause long term health issues.

I remember being a kid and hearing about another building that burnt down somewhere in Japan that killed a lot of people, probably more-so than this one, and that arson may have been suspected, but I dont know if any arrests came out of it.

Understanding the guy's motive wouldn't bring anybody back to life. And most tragedies don't have a point.
