Where's the "Sting" operation? There are plenty of Japanese policewoman that can pose as a teenage girl walking alone near the river, with her service revolver, handcuffs, whistle, etc. in her book bag! Why do the police always wait for some average citizens to nab criminals of this type?

Alison! The Looney Bin in Japan is just a summer camp on a farm, and after a couple of years she will be back on the streets stabbing people again. Yes! this person is definitely crazy, but she belongs in prison with people like her...

"Babies making babies.." In western society, children learn about infants by taking care of the siblings while parents work, or teenage girls babysit for part-time income. That is not the case in Japan, and after having a baby, women stay in the hospital for a couple of weeks to learn to care for a baby! Babies are not toys!

I recall wondering 30 years ago why the U.S. automakers refused to make right-hand drive vehicles and orange turning signals for the rear portion of their vehicles. This small modification was a serious problem for Japanese people that desired U.S. vehicles because it was required to register a vehicle in Japan, and the only solution was to put additional yellow turn-signals (bumper mounted) on the rear of your brand new Camaro, Cadillac, Lincoln, or Mustang. At that time, all U.S. vehicles had red turn signals on the rear portion of the vehicle. Due to this oversight by U.S. automakers, Japanese and European consumers passed on purchasing Ford, Chevy, Mercury, GM, Pontiac, etc. and opted for BMW, Mercedes, VW, etc.
Posted in: Last year, Japan exported 1.5 million vehicles to the United States, while U.S. automakers exported just 8,000. Why aren't U.S. makers selling more in Japan?

Before you get excited about the law! Follow the case and see what punishment these guys get for killing two innocent young girls. Nothing like the time the families will spend mourning their loss.

STOP IT!!! YOU ARE SICKENING ME!! The problem is that Japanese people are treated and act like children for the greater portion of their lives, and never receive the treatment or punishment that they are due for their actions. In Japan you are an adult at the age of 20, and I am sure that at that age you know what is wrong, and what is right. When the system decides to treat its people like adults and hold them responsible for their actions. Babies and small children will be protected from the idiots that father them. And I am sure that the mother's of these children being abused by their boyfriends...know that it is happening! Put them both in jail!!

Child abuse is becoming a MAJOR problem in Japan! This country and its leadership need to wake up and do something about it! Children are your future, and you are raising potentual basket cases with such treatment. Everyday I see children riding on the back of biclyes with no helmet, or standing in the front seat of a vehicle traveling 120kph down the expressway. And now its scalding, punching, kicking, beating, burning, choking, and killing defenseless children because the parents cannot handle the responsibility of raising them. Selfish, materialistic people, that are unable to put their selfish ways aside to care for a child they either brought into this world, or volunteered to assist, by entering a relationship with a person that has a child. It sickens me! "Babies making babies"
Punish these people!

The biggest problem in Japan is the lack of CPR qualified ambulance driver's and the need for Emergency Medical Technicians in the ambulance. You always read about someone being pronouced dead at the hospital, and seems that they died in route because they bled-out in the ambulance, or didn't receive CPR until they arrived at the hospital. Ambulances are just high priced taxis... I live across the street from a major medical center and they drive the ambulance across the street to my building to take people to the hospital, when they could just bring the stretcher and wheel them across the street. You never see people going into a Japanese ambulance with an oxygen tank, or saline drip, or any form of medical attention...just a sheet over their body and face. Oh yeah! And the medical center across the street from my home, can only provide orthopedic assistance on weekends and they have an Emergency Entrance. Primative, Socialized Medicine....for a exuberant price.
RIP little girl..

Blue Witch: I agree with your views on the death penalty with the exception of one matter. Prisoners cost money to keep incarcerated for life. In some states in the U.S. its to the toll of about $40,000 a year, per person. That quite a burden on the taxpayers.

A penis is worth more than a finger?
I guess that would depend on the size of the penis and the size of the finger! (smile). Yikes! that must hurt!

Let me get this right! (smile). Fighting and drunk driving warrants termination of employment as a teacher, but massaging (wink) high school girls equals ONLY a three month suspension. Hmmm....and you wonder why it happens?

A baby or small child depends on their parents to protect them, provide for them, and protect them, until they are capable to doing these things for themselves. And as a parent you are responsible for that life, once conception is achieved, and confirmed.
When child neglect occurs, and it results in a death! Those parents should swing at the end of a rope. Imagine that baby gasping for breath, dying of thirst, and extreme heat...and unable to open the window or door to save themself. And this was two adults that left the child in the car!!
Not to mention the numerous times I have seen cars traveling down the expressways with children standing in the front seat, or sitting on their parents lap!
Its a shame that children in Japan don't come with instructions for the children that are trying to raise them.
Someone needs to wake-up and determine that Japanese people have to grow-up and start taking responsibility for their actions.
R.I.P. little baby! God will take care of you now...

Ishihashi should gotten the death penalty. Once a rapist always a rapist! Rape alone should have warranted a life sentence because women have the right to say "NO" to sexual contact, and when you compound that crime with murder...it should be capital punishment. Note that most of the Japanese adult movies feature rape scenes of high school girls, housewives, teachers, nurses and such. It sickens me!! You cover a person's mouth to stop them from screaming, and you cover their nose & mouth, or choke them...to kill them!! ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!! He murdered the young woman.
R.I.P. Lindsay Ann Hawker.

OK, its very obvious that this man has some deep, dark, mental issues that cannot be resolved by a doctor, or some short stint in jail! Jail will just fuel his anger and young girls and cause him to funnel all that anger into some major violent act, that results in some young girl being seriously or fatally injured. "When I’m in a bad mood, I feel like taking it out on young girls.”...???
That is a sure sign of a man with some SERIOUS problems!!! GET HIM OFF THE STREETS!!!

She probably met the guy once, but doesn't remember because it was a casual meeting in public. He is upset because she was not interested beyond a greeting, and now he wants to punish her. Some Japanese guys cannot handle rejection.
