Mass Murder in Tokyo Equals World Fame

From the BBC:

A man armed with a knife has killed seven people and injured 10 others in central Tokyo, Japanese media say.

The incident occurred in the Akihabara district, a busy shopping area known as Electric Town that is popular with young people and tourists.

And then, the BBC gives what any narcissistic murderer wannabe seeks above all else--fame. When he wants to offer others a glimpse into his world of madness, the media is there to comply with astounding speed.

His name is now known around the world, his face splashed on every continent. Soon to follow will be in depth studies of his childhood life, his love relationships, relationships with his co-workers, and all the reasons why this young asshole was so troubled. If he has a video tape that chronicles his fall into the depths, we can expect to see that too. Any notes he left? We can all expect to have its most troubling aspects read to us word for word.

He wanted everyone on Earth to feel the pain he is suffering from, and what better way to do this than to stage an event where worldwide eyes will be forced to focus on the horrific events that have caused his torment?

What this asshole deserves now, after the act, and what all potential tormented copycat assholes should learn to expect if they ever act on their selfishness, is total anonymity--a media blackout on their personal information.

But, will this sell any newspapers or help the ratings?
