I think Kuninobu here was instrumental in the U.S. decision not to delist N Korea for now.

I think it is kind cute. Did he think his message gets more attention if it is in a bottle? And what did he need the sword for? All very strange.

Personally, I think he´d gotten more attention if he´d delivered the letter in a Winnie Pooh costume...

I hope it wasn't a glass bottle, might have hurt someone if it broke. Just imagine the mess and glass shattering everywhere, but maybe it was a plastic bottle ...?

Shouldn't this read as "Armed Man, Arrested after Throwing Bottle at US Embassy" ?

Since USA is on recycling kick maybe this guy just wanted to help and tossed a bottle in to have it recycled!

Didn't Confusion once say: "Man who live in stone house should not throw glass bottle" .

he'll be bragging about this in his local shichirin after a mouthful of beer tmrw. he should have commited seppuku on the steps if he had any balls. Mishima must be spinning like a dynamo in his grave, they ought to hook him up to the national grid

gotten more attention if he´d delivered the letter in a Winnie Pooh costume..." or an Elvis costume.

I thought messages in bottles were for sea use.

but, why does he care if N.Korea is on a terror list or not? Either way they hate the Koreans. What difference does it make? I am sure he'll be out very soon. Had a friend of mine get beat down by a group of them in Kichijoji a year back. Wasn't a reason at all. Just him and his wife hanging out in the sun when one of them took a pee right near them. I think they need to change their music selection.

perhAPS WILL become a target for further nuisance. possible cctv and notices employed a good idea.....an explanation of why the embassy is used for may become a good idea.
