Ummm...Yes,

The quote I was responding to was "I am suggesting that sending his photo to hospitals would have also been wise to try." which is obviously not the chief said. But then again, as ambiguous and empty as Chief's "We will think about the possibility of sending pictures to…

Yes. So? They found a wig in his apartment that led to the police suggestion a year later. They were hoping for a lucky lead as police are want to do. I am suggesting that sending his photo to hospitals would have also been wise to try. The National Police…

Add to this the increasingly disfuncational state of interpersonal relationships and the self imposed isolation that social constraints impose on most urban people, and you have a lot of lonely hopeless people out there.

Except that it's the "rural" population/prefectures that have the higher suicide rates.

Japan amazes me with the ability to miss the forest for the tree. People are jumping off platforms so Japan thinks, let's try to calm them down. When what Japan should be thinking about is "WHY!"

What amazes me is people here using the Japan=East Japan Railway Co formula.

I never wrote that the police thought he was immediately going to change his appearance. It was later that the police suggested that. A police case is a living breathing thing, it changes over time and so does the police reaction to it. Again, you really need to start reading…

Ummm...the police had suggested for some time that Ichihashi was attempting to change his appearance. They even put out a poster of him looking like a female. So, the suggestion that in future sending photos to plastic surgeons may be effective is completely valid.

Considering he had little money (50,000…

Umm...If 'as always, hindsight is 20/20 (you know, perfect or correct) ', then you have already admitted my 'hindsight' was correct. Then, amusingly, you attempt to incorrectly argue against it.

Also, 'hindsight' is one of the reasons people do not make the same mistakes again (for example, now you won't…

As always, you jump in without really reading what people write. First, I am merely reporting the suggestion that was reported in the Japanese media that the police should have passed out a photo of Ichihashi. I further was merely reporting that one of the surgical hospitals themselves had suggested…

I strongly beg to differ. If the first plastic surgery hospital had had a wanted photo of Ichihashi, the chances would have certainly been highly that they would have realized exactly who he was. After all, at that time, both the photo and the face would have matched. This is…

And Himajin, I am sick of your dribble trying to defend the police investigation. Clearly it is the likes of you who have not kept up with the news on this case, when you then try to defend the very professionals who are paid to find the information that was…
