And what's the reason there doing this? Pressure from public opinion, like this forum. Nine Keystones, one shoeless suspect, murderer on the lam, probably supported by parents... What more needs to be said? Idiot police force more concerned with getting their daily quota of misdemeanors (preferably younger women driving K…

Zen Builder: Taiho jitsu I think it's called... Must be 'tai' as in body, 'ho' as in horitsu, law perhaps? Makes sense if they're the kanji anyway.

Antagonize the system? Get a life... Just two years ago when the Emperor and his wife were in this town, it was just amazing to watch the plainclothes cops sussing out the foreigners including me. Yeah, they were friendly enough but it annoyed me as there some sorry looking locals…

The J cops get a pretty rigorous training in martial arts, especially one version called 'how to make an arrest'. There is a strong Kendo and Judo body and yes, they do get plenty of training. there trainers often teach overseas, usually Aikido but now the 'how to make an…

Urban decay? In part your right but the real heart of the matter is moral decay. Yeah I know... what is morality anyway? Our grandparents knew and could demonstrate it through simply showing good manners at all occasions and treating others as they would like to be treated. It's that…

But the crux of the matter isn't whether we or others agree with him at all, There are issues he's taken on that I'm not convinced are issues worth the fight but the fact remains; he DOES something other than snipe from whichever side of the pro/con fence we stand.…

The usual 'I can't stand this guy' comments from the numerous, petty underachievers here and those that can neither reach to the levels of those they despise. Nor see in this case, just what an important service Debido provides. Agree or not, this guy has helped turn the Japanese 'nihonjinron'…

Like anyone else, crime worries me and I want the bad guys to be in the pen. Western jurisprudence has (well, in the ideal form anyway) always held that it err on the side of doubt and it's a wonderful principle. Japanese justice is a leftover from the medieval era,…

Where on Earth do Americans dig up this paranoia from.? Secret governments, secret plots, conspiracy theories, men in black, covert action against ordinary folk. The country seems full of this garbage. Not a good sign of a country's mental health when half the population it seems, imagine these absurdities.
