Marie wouldn't even earn a lookback if she lived in Europe. She is such a "plain Jane".

These young punks should be tried as adults and tossed into the clink. This kind of bs happens all the time in Japan nowadays. 7 years ago, 3 "minors" similarly beat to death with metal bats a 69 year-old man, Mr. Seitaro Komode, who peacefully lived under the Sobu Line…

General Tamogami, former Japanese Air Self Defense Force Chief, was not a pilot and was not know to ever fly a plane. He came from the anti-aircraft section of the ASDF, which, in itself, should explain a lot about this man's behavior and thinking.

One thing that stood out to me as I watched the repeated coverage of the Sakai arrest and aftermath was the conspicuous absence of an high visibility attorney out there publicly on her behalf, denouncing the arrest, counter-attacking the police-leaking underhanded fragging of Noriko, filing formal demands for her immediate…

Smithinjapan,

Lad, I think you have misread the situation entirely. They are setting her up for a real crucifixation to demonize here and make Sakai an example for illegal "drug users".

The media is spewing quotes from her under supposedly confidential police interrogation, all to her detriment. Today, it is…

"Just how much is 0.008g anyway?? A couple of grains of powder??"

It is virtually about 12 little dots of white? Less than 1/10 of an aspirin tablet if you cut it up. They had a sample on TV today, and I could not believe these people for all the…
