Police in Sapporo, Hokkaido, have arrested a 27-year-old unemployed man on suspicion of assaulting his 52-year-old mother at their home.
According to police, the woman called 110 at around 7:20 p.m. Saturday and said her son had beaten her, Hokkaido Broadcasting Corp reported. Police rushed to the scene and arrested the son.
The woman told police she had argued with her son about him not finding a job and that he had yanked her to the floor and started hitting her.
Police said the woman was not seriously injured.
Police said her son, who was drunk when he was arrested, has admitted to the charge and quoted him as saying he lost his temper after his mother kept pestering him about finding a job.

Fighto!
Yet the reality is there would be less crime in all of Hokkaido than your town in your home country. I doubt they'd even report incidents of Domestic Violence in the national news there, unlike Japan.

A classic example of when you refuse to grow up and accept responsibilities!

Who else knew it before opening the article?

Social crisis. There are so few decent full-time jobs. Even highly educated people, especially women, are on fixed term contracts. Not especially highly educated people have almost no hope. 150 years of capitalism looks like ending 2000 years of Japanese civilization.

Imagine hitting your own mother? No actually, I cannot.
A horrible young man.

I didn't know for sure but I was suspecting EXACTLY that.
Me neither. But then again, we are not spoiled man-babies like this piece of filth.

I’m sick of my partners family always shouting at me to get a job! I can’t find any jobs. I found this site because it has job adds, but no jobs. I hate her family, I want to put salt in their sugar. Every day emails, calls, “have you found a job yet? You are useless…”

I remember many, many years ago a foreign friend whose husband a Japanese doctor would physically abuse her, and she would call the police and allegedly said "you cannot hit your wife she is a foreigner." So, the fact, they are arresting this guy for hitting his mother appears to be a big shift towards domestic assaults on Japanese women.

Leaching off Mama and Papa, drinking and threatening them, that's what scums do.

He shouldn't fight the hand that feeds him! Sooner or later he will wake up drunk and in a cell wondering where his next good meal will come from but realize he has only that one choice!! Sober up get a job.

There’s unemployment in japan and everywhere else. Unless people refusing to work and not accepting offered jobs, they should be harassed on their unemployment
