AMAGASAKI — A 41-year-old man was arrested Monday after storming into a Japanese language school with a knife and baseball bat and injuring a student, in Amagasaki, Hyogo. Police said the man barged into the school around 10:20 a.m., wielding a baseball bat, but fled the scene when staff took the bat away from him.

He came back shortly afterward, brandishing a knife, and smashed the glass door at the main entrance. He attacked a 22-year-old Chinese student who suffered cuts to his fingers.

Police were called and immediately arrested the man. Police said the man has been undergoing psychiatric treatement and has been to the language school on several occasions since last year, screaming unintelligible abuse at staff.

The man's rants went something like this!

Too much stress?

Stressed? The Japanese? Never!

On the bright side no one died. This is why the 2nd Amendment should be removed from the US constitution. You own a gun, you carry a gun, you allow anyone to get a gun - look what happens.

Removing guns won't lower crime rate, most murders aren't commited against random people and if you really want to kill the person you'll find a way. The death toll at Port Arthur would have been just as high if an axe was used, kills were at point blank range.
