  vWill Tokyo Sky Tree collapse if it doesn't have a mascot?

  Yes because there would be nothing for people to buy when they get there.

  Isn't this guy guilty also? Sounds like he's trying to cover his own butt

  The only way your scenario would make sense would be if there is a boryokudan/gangster angle, but that hasn't been reported in this case.

  Woodford himself has said the Yakuza are involved on interviews with Reuters.

  Why should he get arrested? Explain in details the charges, etc. Japan goverment = Olympus, etc. Some of the crack-pot theories posted here, Hollywood couldn't think up and rival anything else.

  I personally don't think he will, but I wouldn't put it past the system and weird JP laws to somehow lay charges on Woodford for being the CEO at the time.... I hope this is not the case and it's all good for Woodford.

  I also hope he doesn't get arrested at the airport because the police see it another way.

  I hope he has projection like other people said.

  Why do they write arrested, if you are under 20 you can NOT be arrested.

  @Nessie: I'm not even an old fart but yet but some stuff still amazes me.

  So anyone in Japan can get drunk (or claim so) break into a store, stealing some stuff and if you get caught just say "I am drunk".

  Wasn't really unexpected, especially with that international report the other day.

  Such norms result in a disturbingly unbalanced situation in which Japanese media appear to be “state controlled,” and foreign media simply don’t get the full story.

  Eddie, you write real stories and have a great penship, JT should be paying you for these they are the best articles on the site. Keep it up, I look forward to reading your articles everytime I see them.

  Are you saying that the young man in this case should have faced charges or are you thinking of another case where somebody successfully used intoxication as a legal defense to an even remotely serious crime? I've seen it offered as an excuse/reason that people give for illegal activity but do you have any evidence to suggest it actually works?

  Yes and yes. Saying "sorry I was drunk" is not an excuse, you got drunk, you are responsible for you actions while drunk, getting drunk isn't a free pass to go and do whatever you want. I would mention several other articles but the mod would remove my post.
