Sex volunteers? Just who are they planning to do this work? Japan is becoming an experiment in disfunction. Why not put sex workers on the national payroll? And even offer big bonus money for having them decide to give birth. Turn the kids over to corporate worker farms and build…

Fair dinkum! You are dead on with your position for this. This is a mental health crisis that is causing these outbreaks. Look at the rising number of violent incidences on trains. People are stressed, frustated, hopeless and self destructive. Prosecution is not going to do anything for this problem.…

Himajin "What do you suggest they do?'
1. Listen to what these attackers are saying. There is a clear pattern of dissociative behavior and social alienation at work here. Searches and web monitoring are not going to reverse this. The government must make it a priority to look at and…

rtrhead1; I'm not saying don't enforce. I'm saying react in a manner that helps.

Look at it this way. If the reaction is to start searching everyone the police think is "suspicious" then we compromise human rights. If we start monitoring everything on the web then we violate everyone's privacy.…

A year or so ago a friend, Japanese, got picked up in Asakusa for having a tiny Swiss Army knife in his bag when he was spot searched. He is an engineer and the knife is more a set of mobile tools with a tiny useless blade than any kind…

Isn't the coast guard supposed to be helping people in accidents not being constantly involved in them?

Personal security will soon be the next big business here if this kind of thing continues. Knife proof clothing, pepper spray and more. Sad to see the nation head this way. At least the violent ones at home usually have a financial agenda. These random attack guys are far more…

This cannot be simplified into some crazed comic book fan. This is a symptom of very deep societal disfunctions that must be urgently addressed. If not this will happen again and again.

Japan has a growing number of alienated, hopeless people who are detached from society around them and no…

The worst thing to do is to overreact and start calling for some kind of knee jerk police state with cops ready to taser anyone who looks a bit risky.

The problems are societal and will not go away until addressed. Enforcement will more likely just make life worst for…
