@Wurthington. I am a working mother with 3 young kids. I have never left them alone...oh…
I've got mixed feelings about this report. First - it's just a report of an estimation…

Another example of a close-call.... Only by luck and the grace of god, was he saved from being seriously injured or killed...
When reality meets piss-poor training and ill-equipped police... Just hope and pray for the safety of these police, that they will never have to deal with any REAL situations, which don't involve doing anything other than giving directions, or standing around looking important..

Here we go again...
This is must be the standard line that all Japanese are taught to use, when confronted with any facts of history, that don't show Japan as a Victim...
"Oh, well America did it too!"
No.... America never invaded and killed 300,000 people in Nankin, innocent civilians, there isn't any comparison at all.
And Unless you are 85+ years old, it's highly unlikely YOU, "Kumasan" participated in any of these atrocities, and no one is blaming you, but what the world really needs to hear from Japan, and people like you, is that you understand what happened 60+ years ago, so that it will never happen again...!

I really like this... One minute, they are boys and girls, if you are referring to someone under 20 years of age, because they are minors in Japan, and the Next minute they are MEN and WOMEN....
No...This kid, this boy, is just a fricken kid... another one of the 120 million boys and girls that reside here... Their biological age and appearance may change, but their mentality and level of maturity will remain largely unchanged from age 8 until age 70...
Not only is it TRUE, Fxxx yea, it's true... Sorry, if you are one of the 120 million Japanese, much like the Kakapo Parrot, the Japanese Person, "The ancient, flightless Kakapo is the world's rarest and strangest parrot" and so are the average Japanese..."
Common-sense AND Teaching the difference between RIGHT and WRONG... Not just how to be polite and what university they should attend (to learn absolutely nothing at all..)

It's not over yet.... Although, Canada already got their Gold, against the women's team, it's time for the Men's team to beat Canada, one last time.... No win really counts, unless you win that Gold.

And to think, he went to all this trouble of making such an elaborate cover story, just so his wife wouldn't find out he was out drinking with his mistress, or hooker, and spent all his money...
I would have paid good money to see this oyaji banging on an apartment door at 1am, completely in buff....
Ha ha ha...
I'm sure when the cops arrived, they probably arrested him first... "Yea, sure a group of youths beat you up, took your wallet and all your clothes..."

I really have to wonder about some of these people...? It's always the first remark, "Oh, you've been watching too much CSI! Ha ha ha"
Do you have any experience in law enforcement? Did you even graduate from HS? Do you have an ounce of common-sense in your head?
And, if you ever wondered, the TYPE and Severity of the crime also comes into play when making an arrest, especially, if not something they catch a person doing in the act... This isn't suspected murder, this is suspected shop-lifting.... BIG DIFFERENCE.... But then would you expect any different from J-Cops, who place illegal Bicycle parking in the same category as murder-one!

You are absolutely Correct, Fingerprint evidence is NOT REQUIRED to make an Arrest... But Did this women need to spend the night in Jail...? Because of something, that would have taken 15 minutes to determine...? Absolutely NOT!
Ok, you have the bag full of stolen goods, and you have the women they suspect. You can get two samples of fingerprints here....No problem... And you have results with an hour... This isn't rocket science...
Catching someone in the act is one thing, Yes, you catch someone fleeing the scene of the robbery, and it doesn't take much to make an arrest, BUT going to someone's home, the next day or when-ever it was and dragging them to jail is quite another...
Only in J-Cop land... If it was a guy, he'd still be in Jail, and the police would still be insisting he did it, trying to force a confession out of him... Thank God for the SOFA...

The U.S. Never told Japan anything like that... This is the Japan Ultra-Nationalist at work...
It's because there is no such thing as saying you're sorry in Japan, because sorry acknowledges that you have committed such acts, and in the Japanese spirit of Bushido, sorry only brings shame, unlike in western cultures, saying your sorry leads to forgiveness, which there exists none in Japan.
Japan wants to be seen as the victim of WW2, that's why they have no memorials to any of their hundreds of thousands of victims, like Germany has for it's victims, NOT itself, but the victims of their actions.
Japan needs to start building memorials to it's hundreds of thousands of victims, and stop acting like a victim...
Japan YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM OF WW2, YOU ARE THE CAUSE OF ENORMOUS DESTRUCTION AND SUFFERING... WHY NOT COME-CLEAN, and start telling your own people what really happened, then you can finally put it behind you... NO MORE VICTIM-HOOD, YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM!

If they were Brazilian, then they are treated as special Japanese, according to immigration. They aren't treated as normal foreigners...
But first I'd like to know where everyone gets this idea that they were foreigners...?
Not one word in THIS story about their Nationalities... Only the deceased Nationalities are known...

You know what dude... We don't care... keep it to yourself...
There's no fricken excuse for killing your family and precious kids, NONE AT ALL.
This kind of thing stems from lack of common-sense and morals.. They don't exit in Japan.
If you want to kill yourself.. Fine, have at it, one less loser running around MY country, breathing my air, but you don't have the right to kill women and children!

And this is the amount of people they need to take on one slightly demented frail Oyaji armed with a butter knife.
And much like the movie Rambo, 200 hundred of Japan's Finest is a no-situation against the frail Oyaji...

How can they get an arrest warrant for someone that they haven't yet identified...? Another only in Japan moment..
This guy is long gone.... He actually looks Chinese, he was probably on the first flight out of Japan that night, he probably even had his bags with him, and a taxi waiting down the street for him.
That will never happen in Japan.. In the states and other "Civilized" countries, having the security guard is one of those requirements stipulated by the insurance company, but in Japan, since everything is basically a crime, including accidentally backing your car into a pole, I doubt these companies are even insured... It's not the Japanese way...! Ha ha ha...
And with success rate of the J-Cops, I highly highly doubt they will ever find those rings, even if they do manage to make an arrest. Their best chance for ID-ing someone would come from the finger prints, if this character was stupid enough to leave his prints behind.

To be completely honest, I don't think he should be charged either.. That said, Japan needs to really think about doing away with STUPID laws, which make everyone a criminal who's involved in any type of car accident...
They need to Charge him because, it's in keeping with the law, and the way it is enforced in Japan... If they choose not to charge him, then they need to drop all the other cases, where a driver him someone, and it didn't involve any type of illegal behavior or action... I think there was just a real heated debate here a month ago, about some old guy, accidentally hitting some kids, no deaths or serious injury involved, but he was arrested on the spot... This kind of "arbitrary" enforcement of the law, needs to come to a halt... If you let him go, you cannot turn-around and charge somebody else for the same kind of incident...

Yea... You're probably right... Anyone that deals with a construction company in Japan, knows damn-well that they are owned and operated by Yakuza... So I do find this article suspect.
They just happen to be at the very bottom rung of the corruption totem-pole, which wouldn't be able to hire illegals, launder money, or dapple in any of the plethora of other illicit activities they deal in... Extending from them, to the weekly or monthly police and city official pay-offs to look the other way.
While the Yakuza, may not have anything at all in common with it's New York or Italian counter-parts, when it comes to violence, they certainly have them both beat when it comes to making money from legitimate companies... Estimated 90% of all companies in Japan are either own, operated or infiltrated by Japanese Organized Crime..

This is a Joke... right...?
I was never a Clinton fan, still believe "George Dubya" belongs in a War Crimes Tribunal, and I voted for Obama because of his message of CHANGE... I know the economy isn't his doing, that was all George Dubya's!
But Obama has put so many people into cabinet positions, just like George Dubya, that do not know a fricken thing about their jobs, other than they helped get Obama elected... It's a Crying Shame!
There's probably only one or two good actual picks for appointments he's given out, that are actually up to the job, and both of those people are retired Generals.
This Bathroom thing is the last fricken straw...
So what do you do if you have Diabetes...? Just sit there an urinate in your pants...? I don't mind the extra screenings, I think they should've started doing that a long time ago, but these toilet rules have to change...

Very well said... But not only the Nut-Job girl and her friends..
I think this is an excellent example illustrating the general lack of any common-sense and reasoning among the Japanese population... I would even say, this isn't the exception, I bet 70-80% of the JN male population not only believes this "Ganko" crap, but will let themselves get beaten to within a inch of their life, over something stupid...
Example...(You may actually know or work with these people...)
Nut-Job A: "You better say you're sorry, Or we're going to kill you...!"
Nut-Job B: "Ok... Kill me!, Na Na Na Na...! Go Ahead, I double dare you!"
These people will literally put themselves in utterly hopeless and untenable situations, which could easily result in their death, and usually does... For what... Something they believed as kids, but some-how lack the basic insight, or realization, that when you grow-up, all bets are off and you can die, or be seriously seriously injured trying the pull the same stupid shit, you might have got away with, when you were a 12 years old...
As ludicrous as it may sound.... The guy was taken hostage for 3 days, by a group 20-something nut-jobs.... For how-ever meaningless and hollow, it may have seemed at the time, why didn't he just say those two stupid words..? "Ok... I'm sorry... you win..!"
He could have walked to the police station himself...
Whose the dummy?
