The question is, did this guy yell out “Banzai!” while launching his, um, well Banzai attack near the Banzai Cliff?

Put me down for the obligatory, “oh the humanity!”

Word on the street is that the Japanese “tourists” in Busan might have been yakuza… perhaps a hit was put out???

Don’t know anything about the model who killed herself except that she doesn’t even look like a chick at all. Very mannish looking — which is not surprising, given that the fashion industry today is dominated by fags.

“Word on the street is that the Japanese “tourists” in Busan might have been yakuza… perhaps a hit was put out???”

It is irresponsible to muse that (1) the dead may be yakuza and (2) the fire was a case of assassination by arson. Another blogger might say that you are contributing to gusts of popular feeling.

Let’s wait for the results of the investigation first. ;)

WangKon936,

I think you are right. The cameras were disabled right before the hit.

The victims were gunned down or slashed(Japs love the blades) and then the fire were set to cover up.

news says that the saipan shooting was
another 사격장 (shooting range) employee
related incident. one so close to the other?! also says the killer was a chinese ethnic korean man who wanted to open up a shooting range in saipan, failed in business.
guns should just be dis-invented.
