weird or normal

Don't see stuff like this very often. I recall being in high school when some crazy Australian mate took his machete and assault rifle to the mall and started swinging away. That's about the last one I remember.

Aside from the trying to decapitate people, it sounds pretty much like bus travel in some parts of America. I'm not quite sure what he had to do that for. The random assault on a stranger, sure okay fine he's testing himself to see if he can knife people at random whilst they sleep...but what's with the head? It's not like he was going anywhere.

These are the sorts of acts that occur, everyone should be horrified for about a week...and I wonder why. Because it really is pretty much unrelated to the way the rest of us live, almost like a random coincidence of insanity and purposelessness created an incident involving another human being's death. The school shootings we get in America every couple years are a different matter..there's purpose involved along with the insanity. I don't get these bits of attacks at all.
