Monster neighbors are real in Japan. I’ve had the pleasure of living next them a couple of times.

He stabbed a woman aged 85, 85 can you believe it? He must be the most cowardly thug in Japan. We need thing sorted out pronto, there’s far too much of this sort of thing happening lately, it makes so cross and terribly upset thinking about the poor victims.
