"What!? You only received an A- in English instead of an A!?"

Anyone that thinks killing your family is not as bad as getting punished for a bad grade has some serious issues.

That was REALLY close to where I live. (about 10mins)

He set the fire on the stairs inside the house, so the people on the second floor couldn't get out. :(

It's scary common for family members to kill each other in Japan, and it's usually over something as stupid as this.
