"Long time ago in the 1990's in Okinawa, I've seen an Japanese old man sucker punch his wife on the front lawn. I really didn't have time to do anything to stop the fight or do anything because the bus would have gotten into an accident if I told the bus driver to stop.
Plus, I didn't know the law at that time if I interfered I would have been jailed.
I was on a public bus at the time and couldn't believe my eyes.
Seniors have domestic violence too !!!!"
I've seen a similiar incident too back in the day in Ginza an old JN man popped the crap out of his wifes head and she managed to cross the street away from him...but cont. to walk in parrallel with him. I was so surprized to see this with other JN onlookers in public.

@Disillusioned "So, if one guy stabbed three cops, how many cops were there? Was this guy a 200k monster wielding a 4 foot blade? Unlikely! - Damn! If you pull a knife on a cop in Oz you are shot dead - End of story! Gotta love the 'passive' police force in Japan. "Take one for the team!""
Ditto!

"Police said the pair were not acquainted **and that the attacker’s **speech has been incoherent well well...we won't get *its *reason for the strange attack ..at this time...but attacking the "help" is retarded and ridiculus... it may discourage (by putting their lives at stupidities risk) more volunteer numbers to decrease in help .......
And I agree with Smythe "Still for a man to stab a woman is totally wrong in the mind of any man or woman."
but as in the past..it appears the keystones may be leveraging saving his face or Japan's by putting out in the media that the unsub's incoherence may be grounds for insanity indicating post traumatic related causes and effects...etc...

Judging from the history of how the j-legal systems deal with murder cases ,in particular involving foreigners....he as a JN with the help of his countrymen ideological prosecutors,attorneys,and other support entities ...will have puzziling outcomes, along with the perps stance of ..."i did not mean it" but he wrote a book...and then may try to use insanity pleas or whatever scheme may have advantages at that time ...to be judged by "j-lay judges" and get a j-sentence that will probably have him back on the j-streets in 25 years...

"HumanTarget: I think most gun crimes in Japan involve the yaks or 右翼 (right-wingers). You don't generally hear of this kind of crime committed by anyone else."
"A construction company + two guys in their 60's + a gun = Yaks"
ABSOLUTELY!!!!!!

Hello my comrades, check this: "Japan’s nuclear safety agency has told plant operators to check and improve outside power links to avoid earthquake-related outages"
THEY had to be "told" or they would not have done it.(Buddhism, Confucianism, and Feudalism at its best) Just like they control expression for us, But Ishiharaites, and other can do whatever...But what they dont realize is the "time is at hand" You aint seen nothing yet-j-land!

Intersting point: proudnippon at 09:59 AM JST - 3rd March the numerous police in Kashiwa saw fit to search me for knives on my way to work yesterday. fine logic by the officer responsible.
I have also noticed this pattern among the kobanites too....I hope "gaigin does not do something such that an ethnicity will be profiled.....Because this type of "j-logic" is in the behavioral characteristics I've seen before...."Profiling"

I agree:
"On Monday night, the two women were quoted as saying they continuously beat the man with empty bottles while they were drinking together because he had a “bad attitude.”" And killing someone is a 'positive' attitude?
I wonder if such thinking perpetuates such activities against homeless here. There has been many such cases of homeless attacks, particularly by younger respondents.

I think the Kan government just wants to go down in the books as doing SOMEthing, even if it's not really of current national value. Sadly, like all other DPJ promises, this is likely to end up in failure.
Man you know what time it is over here like me, much love to ya...
BTW if the PM aint visiting bones at the Yasakuni, he's checking out remains from WW2, or he's patronizing okinawa, Like many others have said here in JT the PM's of J-land never think about fighting corporate corruption, gov't corruption, Keystone corruption, organized corruption, and the rising violent crimes.
There a theme here ...oh I see the pattern ....but I cant say it here....shyt!

The cause of volcanic lightning is not completely understood. Geologists assume that the cause is similar to the cause of lightning in thunderstorms. From an electric universe point of view, the Earth is a small charged body moving in a large cell of plasma, and there is charge waiting for a connection to it.
The 1981 eruption of Mt St Helens featured a spectacular display of sheet lightning, with truck-sized balls of St Elmo's fire seen rolling along the ground 29 miles north of the mountain.

"As this country staggers through a second decade of economic stagnation, and suffers the indignation of being eclipsed by historic rival China, there’s a common refrain coming from the growing ranks of this country’s young and angry"
"There is a deepening sense that society is at an impasse,” Mr. Kan told an extraordinary session of Japan’s parliament convened last week. He went on to list off Japan’s many and deepening problems: economic stagnation; rising unemployment; an aging society and the highest suicide rate in the developed world."
"One issue Mr. Kan didn’t mention is that more and more Japanese are turning away from traditional politics and embracing extremist ideologies laced with chilling hints of the country’s militaristic history."
"Zaitokukai claims to have more than 10,000 active members, with several times that number quietly following them and reading their xenophobic postings online." ref: W3.theglobeandmail.c0m

"No mention of police arresting the unruly guest? Is sexual molestation a crime in Japan?"
Well on the numerous U.S. bases in Japan it is definately a crime followed to the full extent of the law.
