So Not Just USA, today.

It was reported on WOIN HD Gravtas Part 2



[The Kyoto District Court on Thursday sentenced
to death the perpetrator of a
2019 arson attack on an animation studio
that killed 36 people, local media reported.
The blaze that ripped through the studios of
Kyoto Animation 4 1/2 years ago was
Japan's deadliest crime in decades,
stunning the anime industry and
its fans around the world.

Shinji Aoba, now 45, broke into the building,
spread gasoline around the ground floor,
lit it and shouted "drop dead" on the morning
of July 18, 2019, survivors said.

A number of victims were found on
a spiral stairwell leading to the roof,
suggesting they were overcome as
they desperately tried to escape.

"There was a person who jumped
from the second floor... but we couldn't
rush to help because the fire
was so strong," one woman told
local media at the time.
"It was like I was looking at hell."]
