he placed the gun, used for competition, in the bag several years ago and mistakenly brought it with him on his travels to Asia with his family and an acquaintance.

Always? Really? Tokyo has had at least half a dozen good lashings in the last decade. Or, is…

I remember seeing the same story a month or so ago from a 50 something old biddy. The news just keeps getting weirder. I read all the online J-newspapers and watch the NHK news and it is seriously just getting weirder.

This was invitable. It needs to be done to offset the other reductions they have promised. Free highways and increased family allowances are enough to warrant this increase. It was blatantly obvious from the outset of the new government's policies that they would have to rob Peter to pay Paul.…

How can J-cops be expected to do this as well as checking bicycle registrations, taking photos of illegally parked cars and sleeping in he koban? It's just too much to expect.
