  Sad case, I'm sure he was exhausted from taking care of his bedridden wife. So what will they do with the husband, put him in jail for murder? I guess there has to be some punishment but that would seem pointless and cruel. It's too bad he couldn't go through…

  Beelzebub, maybe I'm misreading the article but I took it as fewer units being offered for sale as opposed to greater demand for units. Anyway, at least here prices aren't collapsing like back home. Glad we sold at the top of the market although our condo here will probably never…

  As others have said Miyazaki was a poster boy for the death penalty. Not much rehabilitation could have taken place and mental illness is all the more reason to remove hime permanently from society. The bad thing is that this guy was housed fed and clothed for 19 years. He…
