Many people in Japan are just dizzy when walking and using their smartphone.AND they walk on both the left and right sides of the pavement with gay abandon,which when I'm riding is a nightmare,particularly in the morn when they are rushing.

What's that saying about not getting involved in a husband and wife's tiff? Or do the obvious and call the cops.What a lame,pointless question of the day.

@WilliB: Hezbollah,the PLO,the IRA,Al Q,the KLA were and are still considered terror groups.This random act was done by two brothers who somehow thought it would be cool,when their real anger should have been directed at Moscow and not in America ,where they had a chance to start their lives afresh.
