Stu:

Wasn't the message on 2chan the same place posted by the nut job who went to Akibahara? Seriously!

He sounds like a bundle of fun. When it comes to disgusting behaviour, he should take a look in the mirror to see the real culprit.

What a laugh! Perhaps the cops can join in the fun and invite Asashoryu to come down the station and exchange jokes with this clown.

Typical immaturity! He's 29 years old going on 12. I hope his mummy makes him a nice warm cup of green tea to make him feel better. Idiot!

But how can the police decide when to take a message seriously and when not to. I do not understand the constitution of Japan. But maybe this case should be further examined.

I used to have a fed job and I seen death threats and pyscho letter mail all the time.

Public figures are always threatened, and alot of the times the pertrators are hardly ever prosecuted or recieve drastic action like this.

The warning on the 'terms of service' page on 2chan is that it isn't to be taken seriously. Everything is for the lulz there.

This guy is an idiot, all he was doing is big 'La Merde.' He must be a dreamer, please give him few shock treatments from shrink and his brains will be cured. Believe it or not 'NET' is a killer and should also be prosecuted. Ha Ha!!!

Ha ha. Very funny. Telecaster has the right idea for punishment.

The adult immaturity seems to be common element in a lot of these stories being reported. It is something that should be addressed as nation.
