was it platform 9 ³/₄?

Oh 2chan...

*keeps plans to foment violent revolution in Latveria a secret*

What a dumbass. If he really wanted to joke around, he shouldn't have used the name of a real station on a different line. Did he really think that just getting the line wrong would get him off the hook for saying something so stupid?

Did he really expect the cops to read that and go "LOL! Ueno station isn't even on the Saiyko Line! What a joker, he almost had us!"

"I didn't think threatening to attack a railway station that doesn't exist would constitute a crime," he was quoted as telling investigators"

That's pre-9/11 thinking.

can someone post the article? farked for me.

exactly, we live in a post 9/11 world where we have to make sure that a 9/11 style attack such as in the events of 9/11 cant occur.

1st thing I thought too.

Well that actually exists:

I have attacked the main platform of San Andreas several times.

Here's a mirror: Link (new window)

It didn't workout so well for this guy either:

Uh, he threatened to attack Ueno on the Saikyo line?

Ueno's not on the Saikyo line, but it ain't far from it. It's retarded to think he'd get off just because the station didn't technically exist, but it's even further down the dumbass scale when the "other" line you use is so damned close.

/couldn't get to the article

workout "work out"



/there we go

TFA for those who can't see it:

Man arrested for threating to attack a non-existent train platform
Posted by Viet

This non-entertainment news, but such a stupid person deserves an exception:

A man has been arrested for posting a thread on 2-channel announcing his intent to murder people at a location in Tokyo, Japan, that does not actually exist:

"I didn't think threatening to attack a railway station that doesn't exist would constitute a crime," he was quoted as telling investigators.

Sakiyama posted a message on an online bulletin board on June 28, threatening to launch an indiscriminate attack at "Ueno Station on the Saikyo Line," local police said.

"I'll show you how to avoid being arrested after threatening to launch an attack," the message read. "At 9 p.m. today, I'll murder many people at Ueno Station on the Saikyo Line."

Ueno Station is real and so is the Saikyo line, but the Saikyo line does not actually pass through Ueno Station. Authorities had responded to the threat by having officers put on alert in areas of Ueno Station that actually exist.

All passengers departing for Cloud Cuckoo Land, Never Never Land, Wacky Land and Coo-ca-MUN-guh should now board on track 9.

Passengers for destination of Narnia, the Shire, Hy Brazil. Encino and Burbanks are now boarding on track 10.

Fruits, nuts and flakes heading towards Over the Rainbow, Erewhon, Jesus Land and Pasadena are informed that their train has been cancelled due to lack of interest.

Any place mentioned in a WB cartoon is as mythical as Brigadoon. And everything I learned about Coconino County I learned from Krazy Kat.

Never take a wrong turn in New Mexico (especially Albuquerque). You never know where you'll end up.

Platform shoe bomber?

Scary.

Could you imagine the carnage if a terrorist blew up Mornington Crescent?

looks like being stupid is now a crime

Please stop saying 9/11. It frightens me and makes me want to vote Republican and give police a blank check to "bust perps".

What exactly is "threating"?

They've stuck half a baggage trolley there now for hilarious photo ops.

Yep - I do London to Cambridge on the train pretty often, so walk past that a fair amount :-)

Tricky bastards

Isn't ueno station a major hub for a bunch of lines? Makes sense the guy could get confused

rangercheese: Scary.

Could you imagine the carnage if a terrorist blew up Mornington Crescent?

As I use that station on a daily basis, I would be quite upset. Or horribly injured, or perhaps dead.

So I would honestly prefer to not think about it.

Why would the Japanese have a pre-9/11 - post-9/11 difference in thinking? "That's pre-8/6 thinking" would be more appropriate.

Because if there's an excuse to be paranoid, or institute more rules, they're on it like a fat kid on a gravy donut.

Yes, they have beefed up security in the name of "fighting terrorism." Outside of signs all over the train stations, naturally, most of those measures are aimed at foreigners. Despite the fact that the only terrorist attack thus far was committed by natives.

Prey on Obarian

The_Pole_Of_Justice: Ueno's not on the Saikyo line, but it ain't far from it. It's retarded to think he'd get off just because the station didn't technically exist, but it's even further down the dumbass scale when the "other" line you use is so damned close.

When it's that close to reality, true. However, making a threat that isn't credible isn't illegal in most places. You're free to threaten to kill Donald Duck.
