Maybe she needs a little mental health support. My daughter used to live in an apartment where a woman resident used to make marks on the cars of people who lived there. She never got arrested because everybody knew she had a problem.

Glad they found a suspect on this. Vandalism of ancient sites is a cultural crime

I don't get those who vandalise temples, synagogues, mosques and churches. You may not agree with religion but there's less destructive ways to voice your opposition.

Maybe we should wait and see before jumping the gun that she has a mental disorder. Maybe she does, but maybe she doesn't. Perhaps she's just like the elderly people who scream at kids in parks for making noise -- didn't like the crowds the temple drew or something.

On the news there was also an inference made that she was a "foreign" looking person!

Shave her head, put her in robes and set her to scrubbing until all the marks are cleaned up. Then fine her.

Japanese Racism at its best. At any rate, glad she was caught, and glad that she is just "foreign looking" and not actually foreign.

I don't get it either. If only there was some other less destructive way to voice your opposition.
