I was going to write post a blog discussing Britain’s Got Talent**… then this came up.
This news item has reverberated around my grey matter since I heard it on Sunday. While I in no way condone or celebrate the murder of the seven innocent civilians in a most horrific manner, a part of me cannot help be intrigued.
Now, before I get lambasted for being a sick fuck, I just think that its amazing that this man was that ‘tired of life’ the rage he felt overcame his rationality. It makes me look like a fucking poser.
Its no great secret that I have lost most of my faith in humanity and that part of me would like to distribute some kind of vengeful terror against all the people who have wronged me (or just scumbags in general), but the voice of reason in my head has always stopped me… not even stopped me as such… it has never been a consideration.
So it fascinates me that this dude was either that fucked that he has no voice of reason, or that the weight of the world has eroded that voice and made him indiscriminately kill. I mean, I thought I was having a shit few weeks - shit talking paranoia, a job I don’t really like consuming my life, feelings of emptiness and the future looking bleak yadda yadda sub-par Dawson's Creek - but still just going ape was never considered. I’ve got too much to lose (my health, family, bros, the C.R.E.A.M.).
Apparently, the pressure and intolerance of difference in Japanese culture can leave many people severely ostracised. I assume this affected Tomohiro.
All of this makes me feel a little more normal and grateful that I still have the voice of reason in my head. It also makes me thankful that however out of step I feel, My anger has never pushed me this far.
Positive Outlook? Nah.
Still, if I went on the rampage in the Weston Favell Shopping Centre I’d probably take down a few drug dealers, child abusers and scumbags that made me feel like shit in school (they're most probably drug dealers or child abusers too).
