he should have a 3 second head start on any potential criminals, if he can get them to close their eyes and count to three slowly. however firstly he should check the contents of the suspicious looking pink handbag held by the heinous looking potential criminal to his right. dont be fooled by that carefree smile, machetes in each sock

the definition of manners is how you behave towards ANYONE including people you don't know. yes, Japanese can be polite to people they know, if you are a stranger they can be incredibly rude. try holding a door open for someone in Tokyo and you'll more often than not see what I mean

expect many meaningless knee jerk reactions to attempt a facade of safety until everyone gets back to not caring at all next month. 2 very elderly security guards were patrolling the station where I live today but doing nothing about the guy who stood on the platform and hit himself on the head repeatedly for 10 minutes, I kid you not. but hey, they had nice rent-a-cop uniforms and a mindless idiot with a weapon would be no match for a 70 year old in white gloves and epaulets.

I said exactly that in my original post
because it riles me to see the police wasting time and my tax money with this kind of response to a far more serious problem.

????? how can I explain that without being patronising? errr, they have no right to be searching anyone in Roppongi and maybe thyose people should be more aware of their right to say "I did nothing wrong, leave me alone"

the police here actually need to arrest you or have a warrant to search your bags or pockets without your permission. refusing will probably cause you more trouble than allowing it, but we'll be seeing a lot of this pointless profiling and police harassment for the next few weeks until they get tired and go back to their koban to read the Yomiuri

if you're going to bring attention to it why not just say "fat" in the caption. what's the point of being half polite?
