Mum can't do it herself anymore so her girls are taking her replacement, to improve economy. Girls could also be blamed for their action. No one can force to what you do not want to do. Girls are heading to their disaster and they need a good shrink to explain to them the facts of life. Their mother should be behind the bars with hard labor.

It is possible that boy teased him, but this is not an excuse to use iron bar. Lock him up and use the same iron bar on him and break his leggs, don't hit him on the head, because than he wouldn't be able to collect his medication from judge.

This guy must be a mule hair collector. There are few people around the world and they pay good money for off-cuts to make wigs. Cops will sure take a long time to nab him, if they ever do. Lady was very lucky this time.

She is very pretty woman, and I will do the same for her. He was just showing his muscles to public and how protective he is. Will he get suspended sentence?' It depend on Sakura Uehara tears in court.

This guy is talking about full of rich and famous 'S**t'. Rich and famous people should be an example to cummunity and be proud for what they are. Who make's them rich? Who is paying for their daily bread? 'PEOPLE/CUSTOMERS,and WORKERS-in simple word 'PUBLIC.' There is one law for all. But mojority of such mentioned people get away with suspended sentences. Perhaps Takafumi Horie was an example to the others. I bet him if a beggars on the streets will ask him for a yen that he will turn his head the other way.

As for victim 'RIP,' and for killer I hope that thay hang him. “It didn’t matter who,” he was quoted as saying... Must be global warming and economy that mixed his marbles. I hope that 'G20' would fix economy to prevent growth in crimes around the world.

“I wanted to make beautiful women dirty.” I wonder myself what he will be charged with. Most probably will be suspended sentence, after his visit to shrink. Something is not clicking inside him. Why doesn't he pick up dirty women to make them clean? Never heard of something like this before and mind you he was doing this for while and never being nabbed. 'GIRLS KEEP AWAY FROM MAKE-UP

Give cops enough time and chance to satisfy public that such force is in good spirit to prevent such dark crimes. 'IT IS TIME THAT SUCH MONSTERS AGAINST WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE PUT AWAY.'

Lay jury system will not stop crimes, but will perhaps speed-up justice system. But where is solution to prevent killings in Japan?

I do also remember this case, but cops and JT didn't reveal what spray they were using. Now is clear to all readers. He certainly went far away. Let him taste Turkish jail for change. Don't bother bringing him back to Japan; eliminate the costs due to economy drowning. Robber should use perfume instead of tear gas, and would possibly get suspended sentence if he brought back to Japan. Is ‘‘Pink Panther’’ still alive on TV shows?

Japan you have a problem You will have to ban all cell phones on trains. This computer prgramer is stupid attacking lady double if his age. I don't care what you people say, but in my books this is an assault and he should be punished according to the law of the land. Violance is not solution to such issue. 'RESPECT ELDERLY AND OBEY THE LAW.'

It makes you wonder when you read that they had an argument. The problem is that girl is dead and can't give the evidence. Could DNA prove anything, towards hanging accused or will he get suspended sentence?

Here we are another; ...unemployed and suffering from a mental disability. Such person should be escorted with someone on the streets to protect public. His marbles are on the loose and being behind bars wouldn't bring him back to normal. I wonder if he was born with his illness or did 'global warming and economy' disturbed his marble games. He should wear special sign on him while walking on the streets: 'PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB.'

JT please be more specific with this story. What was this spray? Was the suspect also 'unemployed DODO' or just lost his marbles. Hope that cop wasn't sprayed with perfume, because this will cause a huge trouble to cop if he was married. 'HONESTLY JT THIS IS VERY POOR STORY, WITHOUT NECK AND TAIL.'
