"Z"? Carefull Zorro old buddy.

Well, obviously a nutcase. I sometimes see these types of guys wondering around. I avoid them swiftly. Theres something in those eyes and frown. Theres a few of them about. They need mental healthcare alright.

romuchan, I would argue the opposite, just for fun. What these nutcases need is a smile or even a hello. I imagine if you can see something apparently to be avoided, then a whole lot of other people have come to the same conclusion, avoided, and his downward spiral will continue to the point he starts emailing himself for communication and then slashing out. Break the cycle. Not your cycle though, you should keep that ready just in case.

east, ya never know if its gaijin slashing time. too much mongolian dominance could force the hand of a crazed ethnocentric sumo fan, for example.

I am not sure if would like to make myself the center of the guys attention either.

"oh, you can email me instead of yourself". Hmmmmm. No thanks

"Some of his six-member family have told the police that Kanagawa tended to stay in his room after he quit a part-time job at a convenience store in January. He rarely had conversations or dinner with his family."

This wouldn't set off any alarm bells - half the country behaves like this more or less.

This worked well for Hawker, didn't it?

"This worked well for Hawker, didn't it?" Well no, no it didn't. But romulus is all muscle and eats enough chanko nabe to handle himself. I guess I wouldn't recommend girls approach men they don't know. But it depends on the case, and depends if it's romulus - he might be busy fighting one or two off already. My point is some people need to communicate more. Japan is quickly losing it's tag as a safety country.

east,

I refuse to fight. I submit to the begging arm draggers in the streets and let them lead me astray, I am very open to them. but knife weilding maniacs are different especially in east hosomaki or wherever you live. Its time to break out the chain mail and steel pants. only romulus can destroy such materials with his steeley gaze but romulus is on the side of good, not evil.

Hosomaki, what a place. Haven't been there for a while. It became inaccessible, because of the increasing crime rate, and was shut down.

"Kanagawa was quoted by the police as saying he also thought of killing one of his sisters". Two things - you have to sink pretty low or become really detached to consider that, it sounds like he might have been pretty sick and needed to talk, and two - I imagine his sister is thanking her lucky stars to some extent.

east,

will tell you when I meet her. I have a knack for winding up with the strange ones.
