Komukai’s name was among their list of customers
Present customers? Past customers? Potential customers?
after a warrant for her arrest was issued this week.......... left Japan for Manila on Jan 21
Help me with the time line.....January 21st was about 4 weeks ago. So she left before the warrant was issued, right?

The FBI are often used as an investigative arm in Federal cases
Is that why FBI stand for Federal Bureau of Investigation?
The station says the FBI is seeking any communications between Takata and other seat belt suppliers beginning in 2005
Yep, looks like a price fixing investigation.

b. Should avert her eyes.
c. Shouldn't sit across from him on the train in the first place.

And for some reason Japanese authorities still believe the child is better off with the mother than the father after a divorce. I guess they never consider that the mother will take up with scum like this guy.

@Zenny11:
Go to Los Angeles and visit Santa Monica or Malibu and then visit South Central. Then come back and look at your question.

In 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own Government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:
List of 7 items:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent.
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent.
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)! In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort, and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns.
Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws adversely affect only the law-abiding citizens.
Yes, Gun Make you safeR.

“You’ve got to ask the right questions and get the information to officers as quickly as possible, and that it is not as easy as it sounds.”
They should just use recordings like
If you don't speak a word of Japanese, press 1 (this of course would be in Japanese)
If your live-in boy friend just beat your toddler to death and you want to report that he fell playing, press 2,
If you have anyone over 100 years old living with you who nobody has seen in 20 years and you want to complain the their nen-kin check is late, press 3.
If you left your baby in the car while you played pachinko and now 6 hours later he is not breathing for some reason, press 4.
etc.

Maybe it's time for the Japanese to enact a "wreckless endangerment" law for children under a certian age.
