I see the outrage on this board, but are the Japanese outraged at all? Is there some sort of victims group that would be willing to take these cases and take some action? I wonder, but sadly I imagine apathy once again wins out.

Badge wrote about being "on the other side of media and public criticism" but since when have foreigners complaining about a terrible job on the part of the police constituted public criticism?

Now this could be cool. Kumo Otoko. Ari Otoko. The list goes on. My favorite would have to be Caputen Nihon, with his killer meatball shield.

Now this is a good crime story. It tickles me to see this whole boiled frog routine played out in society. What were the staff thinking? Junior Staff: He's had 3 bowls sempai, and I don't think he will pay. Senior Staff: Give him another and see what happens. Junior…
