Overconfidence that ties an unrelated person in reality to one’s own fantasies and desires, then justifies it — the “possibility” surrounding the Kobe woman stabbing case and suspect Masashi Tanimoto

When I was in my 20s, I had a chance to hear from a stalker man once (because he approached me first). He had very serious family problems, and he was deeply and continuously hurt within them. As a result, his mental state became unstable to the point that he started stalking someone. Driven by his delusions, he began following a certain woman and was about to slash her boyfriend with a cutter knife (I had taken the cutter away because he had prepared it), but I stopped him, so it ended without becoming a case. I remembered that when I saw the news about this incident.
If I had not stopped him back then, it would have turned into an incident as is. That boyfriend would have been cut. I took the cutter away, and at the time I was rather foul-mouthed, so I drove him home saying, “You’re a man, aren’t you, you bastard? What the hell are you gonna do cutting someone with something like that? If you get arrested for doing some lame thing like that, it’s embarrassing, right? Instead of acting so pathetic, if you’ve got something to say, say it straight to his face and fight him bare-handed.” Of course, I did it with enough distance and confidence that I could stop anything immediately if something happened from the car. I drove him all the way to the bottom of the apartment building that stalker had investigated, and when the boyfriend came out with the woman, the stalker went to complain without the cutter. Naturally, the two of them were like, “???” but it was still better than being cut with a cutter, and I thought if I didn’t let him vent his emotions, he might cause another incident later, so I let him vent. (I later explained this to the woman by phone and told her about the danger, too.) I think that effect is why that stalker man, following my instructions, never approached her again after that. My language was rough, but I also think drilling into him that stalkers are disgusting, pathetic, and humiliating had some effect as well.
It’s dangerous because people can really kill someone from their delusions.Before an incident happens, we need someone who notices and stops it, like I did back then.That stalker man also used to carry a fruit knife bought at a convenience store and had once ridden a bicycle across prefectural lines (I think it was Shizuoka) in order to stab someone. That kind of behavior is right before a major incident. So in my own way, to prevent him from causing one, I listened to his side, let him vent his feelings, and at the time I also involved a friend of mine and tried to steer him toward taking interest in something else. I ended up going through a lot myself in the process, and because I was still only just starting to reform back then, he began to harass me with unreasonable behavior too, so I knocked him down a few times, but I think that was educational. In the end, it finished without him committing an incident. Police can’t always prevent it. There are ways to stop it like this. Putting that aside, I used AI to think through the possibilities regarding the Kobe woman stabbing case because I thought that guy seemed similar to the stalker I mentioned earlier.
