This guy was reportedly threatening to detonate a bomb that he said was in a backpack that was in his possession at the time. To avoid a possible explosion, police shot Mayhew. This incident occurred on Thursday, September 27, 2012. The decedent was from West Jordan, and this incident took place on a Salt Lake City, Utah train platform.

What is so surreal about it is that it looks like a joke blog. He calls himself a Japanese American Yakuza (in other words, a gangster). He also claims to have been a hitman by the age of 18 and says he is currently a criminal contractor. While some suggest he may have had a mental illness, it may also have just been a fantasy. As ridiculous as it sounds, some people simply aspire to be a bad guy. This is not necessarily a mental illness in the conventional sense of an illness. Some people are just bad, and this guy seems to have aspired to be some kind of superstar in the criminal world.
