Getting "stabby" in Kawasaki

[Taro Toporific]

Mass stabbing in Kawasaki, at least 15 seriously injured including several children
NHK | 2019 May 28

Just a reminder to your kids here in in Japan and your J-wives...

Of course, running away is ALWAYS the best policy when dealing with such a "stabby" fruitcake. But be sure the teach your loved ones that if they they get trapped, with two or three friends... they they can beat down almost any stabby fruitcake.

Source: I have had Mrs. Taro go to my judo dojo for a just couple of run-throughs of the "stabby" scenario. I would gladly bet that Mrs. Taro could put to the whoop-ass on any whimpy, untrained, "stabby" fruitcake (especially if she had the help of a couple of her friends).

My daughter is also trained pretty well in that technique, but when a fruitcake has knives the outcome is usually not favorable. It is very difficult to defend against knives, even with martial art training.

Not that I know a thing about it but surely size matters as well. Grown, armed man Vs 5-7 year olds. Also, surprise and speed. The thing came out of the blue and was over in 10 seconds I heard. Not much that anyone can do about that?

Surely all that's needed is a Good Guy with a Knife? Where is the National Knife Assocation when you need them?

But yeah, not a lot you can do really. Maybe, just maybe if it could be arranged to have all children, whether as groups or individuals, to be followed by trained security personnel at all times, it might be enough to deter the deranged stabby tendency. Though probably that will have little effect against doddery jijis and babas armed with motor vehicles.

Maybe loosen the gun laws a bit, so knife crime would decrease?

I think they should equip all kiddoes with 30cm long knives to defend themselves...

The public could help.

In Aikido I was always taught to assume you're going to be cut when in these scenarios...I definitely agree this mindset makes all the difference between being able to handle the situation or be killed when you're too focused on not being cut. That being said, you run if you can...or if you need to engage an asshole like this guy who is attacking children, you go in from the side/back and try to control his arm and take him down/disarm him.

He had two knives, so I think there is no way to control him this way. Probably the only way to attack him is to jump with stretched leg into his back. But the attack happened so quickly in this case, that it wasn't an option.

Two more in his backpack, apparently. And I thought I saw something on the news saying that Mr. Stabby had acquired some publications from Foreignland describing how to kill lots of people in a short space of time.

How on earth was he able to read Foreignland publications? MEXT goes to an extreme amount of trouble to ensure that wareware are not able to do that.

Fortunately, the looser did not manage to kill more than two people (sadly as it is), so he is quite a failure, as with everything in his life.

Of course he had to have foreign information. It isn't like the locals haven't perfected how to chop each other up in a short amount of time and practiced it for well over 1,000 years. It would be really crazy if they managed to make specialized weapons and techniques for just such a cause. /s

Actually, the advantage you have with someone dual wielding like that is their hands lose the ability to grasp, making it slightly easier to take them down. You may end up being cut in the process but cut > dead.

Not the most realistic example but this is what you use, moving to the outside and while there is an short opportunity to get slashed with the second knife, the wrist you're controlling should be able to step back and ragdoll them before they can take that swing at you. I've never been attacked by a knife wielding guy but I've taken down a few assholes this way and it's much easier if they have something in their hands. (it tends to fall out quite quickly too) I've only dealt with one inexperienced person who was able to avoid this kind of wrist lock, he twirled like a monkey out of it but the second time I just kicked him over when he tried to do the same.

That being said, I'm talking about disarming someone like this loser, not saying you want to try this on someone with and real skills because...

I suppose that's one method of preventing copycat stabby time: Former top farm ministry official says Kawasaki knife attack prompted him to kill his son

I suppose if he called the police first it would have been a bunch of teeth sucking and shoganai because no crime had yet been committed yet but you'd think a father would choose a non lethal way to prevent him from going all stabbity.

Is there the equivalent of having someone committed here?

[matsuki]

I think in more than a few stories I read that something like that was called for but the person in question was cleared, released, and then committed some nutjob crime.

Called for by whom?

A bit of a read, but covers the issues well for the U.S.: https://mentalillnesspolicy.org/ivc/inv ... cepts.html

Was done by the parents/grandparents in the stories I read.

Like I said above though, regardless of what the law says, I imagine in practice you'd need to defeat an army of teeth sucking, shoganai'in and muzukashiissne police to get anything done before it's too late.

From what I read about the U.S., you apply to a court, have a hearing, and the decision is handed down (it seems in some places and cases a doctor can order a hold).
