A beer glass and someone's head means trouble, the head bleeds quite easily and profusively when someone takes an object to it. My guess is the girl was just absolutely drunk and out of control. She should serve some hard time for this. Munya Times thinks there is a trend among women for this type of behavior!?? I don't think so, maybe your referring to the very small percentage of girls who box. Most girls I know are thin and wimpy and would never pick fights.

This guy should have helped her clearly, he had a moral responsibility to help her, he is not just an innocent bystander, he was taking drugs with her. I mean c'mon, if you are out drinking and your buddy falls in the middle of the street, are you going to just leave him there? This guy is a lowlife idiot! Hope he reforms and become a respectable human being.

sad scene, and hope Noriko has cleaned up her act. Wonder if the guy in the shop actually had an influence or give Noriko drugs. Although she is weak and should not have taken them in the first place.

Pushing anyone off their bike is dangerous and if they fell wrong, they could break their neck and die. So not just sexual assault, but this plus assault & battery.

NK would have to be pretty bold to launch an attack on Japan, but they sure are into scare tactics and love the world media attention. I wonder how much time Japan has to decide on whether they think the missile will accidently drop in japan territory. I think Japan should knock it out of the sky either way.

speculation is that she was overworked and tired and needed a break. She will easily pick up again either being a talento or actress. Good luck to her.

It was clearly racism through and through. Zimmerman profiled the kid as being dangerous because he was black and was wearing a hood. With the amount of media coverage, this guy will get what is do to him which he should be jailed for pre-meditated manslaughter.

absolute disgrace that they did not handle this in a timely manner. With this sort of response, you will get vigilantes who will take law into their own hands. Makes one wonder, even if the report had been filed, they probably would have just given him another warning and would have not stopped this psycho from carrying out this atrocity.

If he gets caught a third time, he will lose his license for a year. He needs to buy a GPS speed radar gadget, I just bought one for 17,000 yen and has paid for itself many many times over.

Japan should try and market EDDY/SUICA concept in the US, those smart wallet applications work great and incredibly convenient! Also, just another reason why Smartphones edge i-phone in terms of more functionality.

Ferrari's are built to be driven fast and I for one would certainly be tempted to drive fast over 50% of the time I get on the highway... but not a practical car to drive in Japan.

The car got wedged in and wasn't going anywhere and there was no intent to cause fatal injury to the cops. The key question here is whether they pointed the gun and commanded them to stop and raise their hands above their head. J-Cops have protocols just like in the US, so unless they felt fatal endangerment to themselves, they had no right shooting them. The robbers were in a panic and like anything, they will flee like a bat out of hell, but that doesn't mean they possessed a weapon nor other serious crime.

Hope Nakajima-san snaps out of it, and if this mystic lady is taking her for a ride, that her other friends or family will try and rescue her. Why isn't her immediate family all over this? These mystic ladies do have powerful influence on people and know people who base their whole life decisions based on what they say, potentially very dangerous if the mystic person is a hoaks.

finally this bozo gets what he deserves. eye for an eye, I don't think so, the murderer did much more and the sufferage to the husband all these years and imagine the horror of being raped and killed. No human should be spared after such an atrocious act. Was the kid insane? I don't think so, his deeds were evil and must be punished.
