  Sadly they commit this when theyre on the piss and its late at night. I am often on the street or in a cab after 11. You definitely see a lot of potential thugs crawling this city. Osaka needs a Batman or the streets cleaned up and cab windows put in. 5 violent taxi crimes over the past few weeks is sick... at least for Japan.

  So he was pissed and it was late but he was carrying a box-cutter? My guess is that this will increase on the basis that locals like nothing more than copying stuff and, having seen this being done before, will want to copy.

  Police say it's not related but it's apparent to anyone who reads Japan news that copycats often follow a traumatic or violent event.

  On a lunchtime wide show today, some talking head reckoned it was a foreigner attacking the taxi drivers because that's the sort of thing that foreigners do! Words fail you don't they??

  Again… All over the world Media is writing stories about Japanese taxi drivers. Isn't it time that Japanese law makers do something about this 'Taxi- Phobia?' Prison should now have e special section for 'taxi driver’s killers and robbers' with cane singing at least once a day on her back sides until they finish their sentence.
