When You Gotta Go, You Gotta Go

From the Japanese Yomiuri Shinbun:


FUKUSHIMA--A 17-year-old high school student in Aizuwakamatsu, Fukushima Prefecture, arrested for killing his mother, allegedly rode his bicycle to a karaoke parlor with the bag containing his mother's head in the bicycle's basket, police said Saturday.

According to Aizuwakamatsu Police Station, after the student murdered his 47-year-old mother at his apartment in the city early Tuesday, he placed the school bag containing the severed head into the basket before riding to a karaoke box.


If you're unsure about whether you're an insensitive bastard for wondering what the guy sang—well, yes, you are. But at least you're not alone.
