Oh no, not again! Another maniacal attack and this man was under the influence of alcoholic beverages. When will the government start looking into these violent attacks that are a daily event.

I understand the frustration of screaming "get a job!" everyday at the dinner table. Most people in their 50s want to start their mid-life new journey, not stay stuck with their adult kids

Lots of action in Sennan and Kaizuka (Southern Osaka) in the news lately.
