“Gun Death” Saw

Now this is not a death, but is a very serious attack:

The Japanese pop group AKB48 canceled planned appearances on Monday after two of its band members were attacked at an event on Sunday, The Associated Press reported.

AKB48, an all-female band that draws its membership from a rotating lineup of about 90 performers, played a concert in Takizawa, Japan, on Sunday, followed by an event where fans could purchase CDs and shake hands with the band members. There, a man, identified by The A.P. as AN ASSHOLE -ed, 24, used a foldable saw to attack the AKB48 performers Anna Iriyama, 18, and Rina Kawaei, 19, as well as a male staff member who works with the band and whose name was not given.

Now I have little interest in these pop groups, I don’t care how good my music groups look, or how well they dance. The fact that Rob Zombie puts on an Amazing stage show as well as makes music I love just shows what a Renaissance man he is.

Still this is big money and big entertainment, and these women rely on their looks as much as their other abilities, and saw wounds make NASTY scars. They may have a successful recovery, but that may be covered by makeup while on stage and in public. Even if the physical wounds heal the mental wounds may be horrible.

Say what you will about this profession, but it’s THEIR profession, and it is on the basic level their job just like your job is yours. Hell I have a fear that I might severely damage my hands making me unable or hindered at writing this blog…and this blog COSTS me money!

A horrible attack, but not a “gun attack”.
