"Heath Warner, 19, who loved art and break dancing, had a Japanese Kanji tattoo on his arm that meant "kill evil instantly," Warner said...
On Wednesday, he brought pictures of his son's tattoo to compare with the tattoo on the body in the casket."

Yeah I don't know what it is, but that bit about the tattoo gets me a bit maudlin. Something mutually embarrassing in the glimpse of this hint of Hanzi Smatter, the fictitious slogan and the matter-of-fact quotation of its literal translation, something of the classic Western otaku in the Kenshin reference, something youthful and naive amidst the earnest black and white militancy.
Reminds me of the humanity of the thing I suppose, politics briefly aside.
