Most people freeze in crisis. No, I don’t have a cite. But the reason you have to train soldiers is because most people freeze up when frightened by incomprehensible actions.
Possibly someone needed his organs.
Christ! Is China exporting organs now?!
Indeed. There isn’t a thing left untouched by the long hammond the chinese government.
Beijing really pulls out all the stops and puts the pedals to the metal.
It’s not an export industry. But executed prisoners are, indeed, routinely parceled out to organ transplant recipients.
Hey, waste not, want not.
God cannot, that would violate the psycho’s free will.
That’s what I’ve been told when I ask what you asked.
Well, also consider that this world is a temporary place for those who believe. The place is packed with evil, but it’s just a soul gaunlet (band name!). The Believer’s job is to focus on personally abstaining from evil, not to get caught up in it, and especially to not question God’s decisions. We all suffer here. Some will go out from Alzheimer’s, others will be tortured and raped to death before they’re 6 years old. But the afterlife is all that matters. I wish I could believe, I really do.
But I don’t. So I’m right back to “wow, what a sick bastard!”
But I think just the sheer horror or trauma is going to freak you out. It’s all well and good to say, “Run,” but I think even adults might just panic and sit frozen. It’s one of those horrifying scenarios I don’t think anyone ever prepares for.
Well, in fairness, there’s no more effective method of preventing recidivism.
If this guy was trying to date kindergarteners it would explain why he’s not having much luck.
Actually, Japanese gamers are more squeamish about violence than Americans are. U. S. titles typically have to be toned down as part of the localization process.
What? You’re saying RapeLay was an unusual Japanes game?
I started a GD thread about this this morning to see if anyone with any deep knowledge of Chinese culture can shed any possible light on if there’s anything cultural or unique to Chinese society that would tilt someone towards a horrorific action like this.
Or maybe its just four or five isolated incidents of copycatting and coincidental. But four of these attacks have happened in a month. Its very strange and tragic.
So the psycho chose to be psycho? Does a cancer patient choose to get cancer?
Jesus Christ. I just Googled RapeLay and… I wish I hadn’t. :eek:
(Re: OP title) Well, what else are you gonna kill kindergartners with ? Guns would just be tacky, not to mention unsporting.
To the contrary, guns would be neat and professional, if admittedly unsporting. Knives and cleavers are increddibly messy by comparison, and there’s your tacky right there.
Nerf cleavers.
Yup, I’m going to hell.
Well, since the gallows humor is in full swing (and since this is sad enough to warrant as much black humor as we can all take), I’ll just say…they need to ban cleavers, obviously! Or, at least start regulating the things…
