I come from a countryside town and often we have wild animals come through our town (once a town close to mine had a polar bear, so you can see we have some serious wild animals,). Something everyone in the previous posts have to understand, When a wild animal comes in to a town, but does not touch a person and stays relative calm without incident, then you can tranquilize and relocate. When a wild animal comes in to a town, but attacks a person or has become a danger to itself or the people around them, you HAVE TO put the animal down because the wild animal has now learned that humans are either a source of food or a challenge. It will keep returning to the town, or any other town, no matter how far you bring it away from people. The danger now is that is may attack again.

Well, in her defense, I would run away too considering how the tsunami of paparazzi coverage basically suffocated her and were pushing for her to jump off a building. What the media did is something I cannot condone. It was terrible how she was treated. I understand what she did was a BIG no no in Japan, but her sanity was put through a grinder. I am happy for her that she made it through the other side and is still alive.

Come on gogogo, we need to have forgiveness. She made a mistake, and I am sorry to say she was crucified for it. She suffered enough and she (as well as the rest of us) have to move on and look to the future. I think its good for her that she had begin to bounce back after doing what she did. This has happened with celebrities before and they have made come backs. I wish her the best of luck.

Dude, Ayumi Hamasaki was one of the biggest pop artists in Asia for like 10 years running. She still holds a record in Japan for most #1 singles and single releases. O_o

I agree with slumdog. You might be stressed but its no justification. My friend (although not in the Fukushima zone) has a husband who is under a lot of pressure from work. As a friend as she has confided in me, I know her husband gets angry at her over the smallest things and yells at her, saying some pretty nasty stuff (its a lot of mental abuse). But she has told me herself that it is justified because he is under so much stress.
I bet if you asked the victims they would probably say something similar.

My god... I think I am taken aback by the fact that I am reading this, and looking at the right column to see TWO MORE murder stories of similarly crazy nature.

It's still cheaper to buy a bottle of your choice of liquor, the mix for it and drink it in 60 minutes.

I am sorry to say that Japanese people are afraid to go out and get involved. Remember there is a law in Japan that puts the helper at risk for being sued. There is NO good samaritan act in Japan.
I have heard people screaming outside my apartment but my Japanese husband has warned me not to look or to get involved. I once saw a boy riding a scooter crash out and skid literally 10 meters down the road. He laid on the road and then got up, his scooter was trashed but he picked it up and started wheeling it slowly down the road. He was covered in blood. I wanted to help him but my husband held me back and told me to not get involved.
What can I do?
