Capital Punishment is a wrong as the crime itself .
"Once Okunishi was arrested the villagers immediately turned against Okunishi. It is alleged that the villagers soon started spreading rumors against Okunishi suggesting his guilt and wanted Okunishi to be punished at the earliest."

Takeshi is a remarkable man, a legend, a great director and an actor, yeah his comedy is pretty lame but he has a massive fan base and I am sure it will grow further....Japan need people like him instigating debate and getting the general people to think about who they are and where they live

@Mirai, people care. People all go through hard times and this was hers. I wish Noriko well. As for her brother, I can understand his anger. Her ex hubby was a scum bag. The main problem is the Media and how they portray people when they do something wrong

Yes but thats exactly what people do think - Cold Shutdown means everything is OK. This clearly is NOT the case. The Gov should stop worrying about mass hysteria and Chaos and just say that the situation is FAR from SAFE, the place is a no go area, nothing should be anywhere near there. They are doing what they can of course but they just need to make things clear and tell the truth

Good point pamelot
Madness. Its never ending. The area around the plant should closed off for a very, very long time., no question about it. "cooling water up to only 60 centimeters from the bottom", where did it go?.
And the other reactors.......they dont know.....cover-ups, lies, incompetence.

As usual of a terrible accident becomes a ridiculous argument here on Japan today. yes it is an accident. Accidents like this are horrible however blaming the grandparents or the rescue team is just not right. Some of you bang on about child neglect and abuse, it happens a lot in Japan you say. Hell NO. Have you read about stories in S.A, China, .........L.A? . We only think it happens more here because thats what we tend to read and of course it shocks us. Stop Japan bashing RIP little one

am I fuming at this. I personally would like to go smash this guys face in . What a monster. The mum must feel so guilty. I can imaging the boy screaming and fighting to get free as she put the drops in his eyes. I know as I have two little kids and they really fight when it comes to eyedrops or the dentist etc. She must of thought she was doing the right thing. This man should suffer in jail for a long, long time. I hope all the dads in prison kick his ass everyday.

Smithinjapan, yes indeed. I wasn't really saying that all bikers are innocent just based on my experience in Japan, the accident, the few that Ive seen and the many I have heard about involve drivers around/over 60 years old but they are isolated cases. As for not cycling on the sidewalk, hell I do it all the time, if there is one, much easier to avoid people! of course if one is going slowly

Thats what I am talking about TinMadDog, the roads here are unfit for both bikes and cars.
There is too little information to judge who was wrong or right . Still think the worst are taxi driver in Japan, too old to drive, to small to see over the wheel and always rushing to make their next dollar.

dude smithinjapan, of course we already bought helmets, my son gets his first bike for xmas.
Protection is very important. At the end of the day it isn't the bikers who need to know the rules but dodgy over aged drivers, especially taxi drivers. Most of them should be banned. What really is the problem is that their isn't any space on Japanese roads. Back home in Ireland we have bike lanes with plenty of space. I was actually referring to their cousin Wala, who said that they were wearing helmets, he should know. Looks like the article was updated as people mentioned. Sorry again for your loss Wala and Clare. Clare I hope you recover RIP little ones

Wala Akong Pangalan sorry for you loss. A tragic story indeed. I have two little ones (1 and 3) and now we are saving for one of those mamachari tanks with two kids seats. No choice

I actually set up an ANTI-Akbaby page on facebook but since closed it down.
Plus the actual style of the advertising is so wrong, at first glance it looks all innocent and right but in reality its so wrong, now if it were Lady Gaga or Kumi Koda, hell it would just funny and acceptable. Fact is they are saying that these girls are yours for a price, boarder line prostitution. WAKE UP JAPAN and START COMPLAINING.

First of all U2 are 100% IRISH, I would know I am Irish. Secondly they have achieved so much over the years. It may be called POP rock but thats because they are a POPULAR rock band. For those that think they are masters of their trade, hell they are. I am in a band and its not about a band playing one great guitarist or an amazing drummer but how they play as a BAND and they sound great. Sure the last few albums weren't the best they've done but they still have a massive following. Bands like Coldplay and MUSE worship U2, they inspired them.

Sorry to hear about your loss, Lilith12. This is shocking that they would event consider such a theme park so close to Daiichi 1. Ok its all about Solar power but come on this is such a evil manipulating money scheme. " Come children, have fun with safe solar energy " , yeah right.
