Drug deal gone bad???

He was wearing a T-shirt and jeans, and carrying two mobile phones, police said.

And how does that differentiate him from a few thousand other people in the area?

I live a kilometer west of Nishiharu station, bit scary as it is a quiet place. A lot of Brazilians tough as there are many factories about.

SuperPowerUSA - Sad news. looks like a possible racially motivated attack. Knew this was going to start happening at some point.

How the heck could you make that assumption? Are you paranoid or what? He was Brazilian. Brazil has one of the highest crime rates in the world. This is only a case of a hot headed Brazilian gone mad and being stabbed by someone he obviously had a conflict with. It would only be one of three things, drugs, money or a girl, unless it's all three.

...And now who is making assumptions?

Since when has the victim's appearance, of someone already found, been the subject of police reports of events. Isn't that for (unfound) suspects.

neighbors saw four or five men quarrel and three cars leave the area

Likewise, that is the language of assumptions. Quarrels suggest the people knew each other and that it was a two way thing. Do these neighbours actually mean that, or could it have been a case of carful of unknown men stopping to pick on this man, and his shouts for help that they heard. Very sloppy language, leading reporting. As usual, we just don't know any of these things from this, and whether it was a racist attack, or an ongoing "quarrel".

Is it just a translation problem, or did somebody call the cops when maybe they should have called the paramedics?

" Sad news. looks like a possible racially motivated attack. "

How so? When Japanese emigrated to Brazil, they did not turn into another "race". Strange idea.

i know some Brazilians that are hot-headed. I know some Brazilians that like to fight. I know some Brazilians that are in love with their cars, sometimes more than their women, but will fight over either with the same fierceness.

I dont know what happened in this unfortunate incident, but my guess would probably relate to one of the above items...

Its about one or two things, drugs, money or both. Nothing about race.

Any information on the time would be helpful.

a 31-year-old Japanese-Brazilian

Atleast he was half-japanese. So we can expect a thorough investigation and may be JUSTICE.

well let me add my two-cents, I agree to the FACT that brazilians ARE extremely HOT-HEADED and JEALOUS, this turns in to violence over 95%of the time. They can't enjoy themselves without showing how tough and macho they are without a fight. In Nagoya, go to the ID cafe, or better yet, just stand outside the clubs, you will see what i mean. Fight break out on a regular basis there, and the police......well , the last fight that took place that i witnessed, the cops came after 30min, and the koban is only 200meters away. when the came, they just passed through, no stopping, no questions asked.

The crime in rate in Brazil itself is brutal and high, i guess brazilians are used to violence, so it is easy as pie for them. This maybe a harsh way to describe this, but the stats are there. calm rationality to solve disputes are NOT in the BEST interest
