no claim it's a fact (check the team line ups and substitutions) but unlike the whinging Aussies the Kiwis HTFU'ed and moved on.

Cleo: dogs typically will bail up a pig by taking small nips at it until the pig makes a stand, this is where the hunter will either shoot or stick the pig. medium sized dogs are quiet adept at nipping prey. Death by a hundred bites, same tactic wolves use.

no rabies in Japan. Shoot the dogs nd fine the owner tons as an example. Sorry Cleo a pack mentally from bred and trained hunters is nothing like your Shiba breed.

No this was a lose lose situation, kick the guys arse and he does hard time for a trained martial artist assaulting a citizen gets slammed by the cops. This way he stays out of jail. Smart move. Part time worker is a chump, he could have called Mr Lee anything under the sun to initiate a pop and then sue for damages.

LFR: great post and yes I agree that punishment can and often does serve as an effective deterrent. I was referring to the knee jerk reactionaries calling for/ hoping for torturous retribution. That said, there are many instances where parents have raised well adjusted law abiding children without capital punishment. I am not one of these and that is probably due to my being beaten(smacked or strapped) as a kid for transgressions. Would I like to be able to raise my kids without raising a hand, you bet. I just get annoyed at the posters on JT who think that they could effectively stop such heinous acts by being macho where there is contrary evidence that violence in society at all levels whether in punishment or in anger begets more violence. Lock him up, for a long long time but stop the violence which I would speculate that this individual has, at some stage in his life, been subject to. Again thanks for the well written and thought out posting. Cheers.Spud.

Punishment after the event has no relation to the event that occurred. It is a knee jerk emotional reaction. All inflicting punishment as extreme as advocated by some JT posters does is reinforce the ideology that actions should be punished with violence. The message such actions send is that violence is okay as a retribution. Easily leading to overreactions of the extreme kind that makes folks like us click on JT headlines.
To prevent similar incidents would be the obvious answer.

No high horse, just a fact that extreme punishment does nothing to deter crimes such as these. The decision to punch a young innocent wasn't rational so rational thoughts like the consequences also weren't occurring. That said if I caught someone punching my daughter they would be going to the cop shop with blood, all in the course of a citizens arrest. I know that isn't a rational reaction but then I wouldn't be at such a time.

I think this guy's punishment should include being kicked in the nuts twice by this 6-year-old girl's father. Fixed it for yah Sarge: not that eye for an eye will help prevent this sort of thing.

My kids got that message from both their parents and the school. Where did you get your mistaken idea about no stranger danger education in Japan?
