The person who started the fire at Tokyo's Shibuya scramble crossing appears to be a right-wing conspiracy theorist.
The board they left behind has the URL of a website obsessed with secret Koreans taking over Japan.
They wrote a letter to Trump and Elon Musk asking for help.

Live cam footage shows a person poured flammable liquid onto the street in the middle of Tokyo's Shibuya scramble crossing, lit it on fire, and ran off.
They also placed a flat object in the middle of what was apparently meant to be a circle of fire. Was it a message? x.com/mrjeffu/status…
