  1. These headlines are always so bizarre. It’s like “Man bashes one year old’s head into wall” and the quote from the criminal is always just some shit like “I wanted to kill a baby. I think it’s good to kill babies”

    Is there any indication whether anti-Japanese sentiment played a role in this attempted murder?
