One employee apparently didn't meet Japanese standard attendance records. He had 640 hours of unused sick leave but was marked down for poor attendance which contributed to the reason he was chosen in the redundancy process. Another employer was a Health and Safety Supervisor, who drew a lot of attention to asbestos issues in the plant. He was made redundant, too. Some interesting explanations to come in the court case from Toyota it seems. http://afr.com/p/national/sackedtoyotaworkersstartlegal_9nSEEy3FFwSpRN2kr2lgBP

Why do the kids have to dragged into people's breakdowns and die? I mean, you decide to kill yourself, why take the kids with you? It is so self-centred and cruel. The poor husband not only has to accept his wife is dead ( in this case she survived) but that his kids died as well!! I hope she is kept in prison for years, so she can daily remember what she had done and how her husband must hate her. Leave the kids alone! If someone is determined to commit suicide then he/she should leave others out of it!

There have been cases in Japan where the nature of the murder was such that minors were charged as adults. And I am referring to ages younger than 18. I don't see that this case is any different. No, arguing that being a minor is enough to save this guy is wrong. The brutalitity of his crime to me is such that he forfeits his life. Rot in hell you waste of space.

He raped and killed her, holding her throat for 3 minutes. No, doesn't sound like an accident to me. Rot in jail for the rest of your life you pathetic little waste of a human being.

I hope the rocket crashes and burns on take-off...embarrassing NK on the world stage no less. They build a rocket while their people starve?! The sooner this despot government is overturned, the sooner Korea can be whole again and can forget this sad episode in their national history.

It could be a single culprit, sick in the head and on his way to becoming a serial killer. And it could also be a group of kids who think this is a fun game to alleviate their boredom. I didn't notice any comments raising this as a possibility, so I'm putting it out there.

Where is the father in all this? What was he doing? I have this image of him putting a pillow to his head at night and telling his wife to go stop the racket as he has work in the morning. But maybe I'm being unfair. Maybe he knew nothing about it. BTW, I bet after she assaulted the little ones they cried even louder and longer.

Good, this should be the end of it. Since there were no reported accidents or deaths resulting from this, I would say it was caught in time. But let's see how many people exercise their litigious rights and try and get a money handout, anyway. AM I being cynical? Probably......so sue me.

Well, isn't that a kick in the teeth. Instead of looking for a similar place in Japan to live, they decide to leave the country altogether. Why, don't they trust their government to look after their interests?....silly question, of course not.

I agree, SimondB. I don't understanf this chain reaction effect. In his mind are the plants supposed to be connected in series somehow so that if one goes, they all go? I Do hope they are educating these ministers a bit before they are let loose to make important decisions.....it's not enough to sleep thru years of high school and then wear your best uniform to graduation.

The party will be the New Sunrise Party. Ishihara, 79, said he has done all he can for Tokyo and he now wants to help the New Sunrise Party to improve Japan for future generations. >
Would this involve removing all foreigners from Japan and returning women to the role of baby-makers and housewives? Yeah, Japan will be talk of the world.....great material for comdeians for years to come.

I know many Japanese whom I call my true friends. They are kind, gentle and accept me for who I am. So I am embarrassed and outraged when I encounter the ignorant, racist and throw-back beliefs of such pathetic individuals as Ishihara, his cohorts and, now, added to the list, the Mayor of Nagoya. Please retire and go away to rot peacefully in your hatred and ignorance. When your gone, we'll turn your place into a public dump for everyone's refuse.

So the Mayor's father was in Nanjing in 1945 and he says it didn't happen......sounds like a little kid who doesn't want to believe his father would lie to him. Damn it, admit it happened and let these wounds heal. All this opening of old wounds isn't doing anyone any good.

What made the interrogation illegal? Did they need to ask permission? "Excuse me, we'd like to question you next Thursday about this case we have against you. Would you mind if we come over and ask some questions? No pressure. Is that enough time to get your stories straight?" But no surprise about the verdict. It was a power-play behind closed doors.

Oh, this guy is a class act! 21 years old and scalding children and head-butting his partner. What a MAN! (sarcasm level to high). Yep, if the testosterone is too much to handle, son,maybe it should be snipped off. Pathetic individual.

I guess being killed makes you a "former" gang member, not your age or the extent of your gang activities. Once in, always in.
