Outstanding police work by the Osaka Police Department. To identify the car from grainy security camera footage, locate it among hundreds of other moving vehicles on a highway, then track the suspect for days and back to the crime scene all while keeping it out of the media is something rarely seen outside of movies or FBI level surveillance. I know many jurisdictions in the US where this crime would simply go unsolved. My heart goes out to the two kids and their family, but at least they caught this monster.

From a basic policy standpoint, when you are part of a group in power/majority, you never make disparaging remarks about those that are outnumbered and not in power, you will always be perceived as arrogant or insensitive ….. elementary politics, if Trump is too ignorant to know this fact, where are his speech writers and presidential advisors?? Lord, knows he has enough money to hire the best.

Wc626JAN. 30, 2015 - 07:39AM JST Its about time Japan starts pulling its own. After all, Japanese should be defending Japan at the cost of Japanese and not American armed forces.
Japan's military functions (or lack thereof) are bound by their constitution which was primarily drafted by two US military lawyers........ You can't restrict Japan's military with one hand, and then complain that they aren't doing enough on the other.

As long as it has more on-board room than the RJs or Embraers, I'll buy a ticket right now...sight unseen!

This starts with the bins. Let's face it, if you have bins for trash, then you have to hire people…
