A grandfather (75), who attempted to beat to death his son (48) with a large pair of scissors/shears over his son’s decision to buy his middle school age daughter a mobile phone, has been arrested for attempted murder.
The scissors in question were no ordinary household scissors – at 51cm long with 13cm blades they were intended as pruning shears, though in the old man’s eyes they proved a useful impromptu club. He beat his son round the head with them repeatedly, injuring him badly and causing his arrest for attempted murder. Via Yomiuri.
This strikes me as a bizarre parody of yesterday’s news of some other old men opposed to child mobile use. Incidentally, 2ch is now calling for bans on old men and scissors…

Jail for life (which won’t be long, haha). Let the lolis have their phones.
