What a pathetic excuse of a man. Attack a woman with a baseball bat. I can possibly see the future: unemployed, 30ish, and "just wanted to attack someone - frustrated with (fill in the blank). You're pathetic dude.

I can't even express how disgusted I am by this puke. A bat to a complete stranger's face?
I'm no hero, but I almost wish he'd try it with me just so I'd have the chance to take that bat from him and use it to smash his kneecaps into a fine powder.

If this is the shape of things to come it's gonna be a good year for news.

You couldn't be any more wrong pal. Had the woman carried her own metal baseball bat around, she would've had a greater chance of coming out of this attack un-scathed.
Remember folks: baseball bats don't kill people, people kill people.

Maybe a ban on blunt objects would help.

Sick man aims bat at woman's face. What was he trying to do decapitate her ? She's lucky to be alive.

Count number one, the guy is a total coward, for waiting to hit a twenty year old.
Count number two, the guy is a cupcake becasue (thankfully)the girl was able to WALK HOME after the attack and get her mom to call for help.
If this cream puff would have taken a full swing, he easily could have killed her.

Funny thing is if she pulled out a tazer or mace she would be the one in kuffs. Go figure japan.

If they ban blunt objects guys like this one will have to go to that special clinic in Sweden for some elective surgery.
Of couse if we caught him we could make the surgery manditory and immediate. I bet he wouldn't be harming women a second time.

Should 'baseball bats' be banned in Japan? Was this baseball bat imported or made in Japan? Some of them are also made out of plastic to prevent serious injury.
