Sasebo update

At first I was inclined to be charitable in my assumptions about the murderer. She's 11, after all. But it turns out the act was premeditated. She brought the cutter from home, with the intent to kill.

I have the aching suspicion this chatroom murder phenomenon won't stop here. That a wave of copycats will follow - at least in Japan - like the freeway shootings of yesteryear.
