No security camera anywhere? Too trusting even for Japan these days. Hope police track down these criminals for a public shaming, inform their consulates and notify immigration for inclusion into non-entry databases.

Train for war? That's rich. Better to train for emergency relief and save lives pronto instead of waffling around like the government's piss poor response. You'd think after all the all too common natural disasters an advanced country like Japan could do better yes?

Unfortunate but in Japan prosecutors have never shown the integrity they are expected to have. Politicians here control justice, media and everything that impacts the population. Been like that for centuries.

Sieg Heil IOC
Hope you are going to take responsibility for all the damage you will be doing to the people in Japan as well as the athletes. The IOC has peverted the spirit of the Olympics with business coming first not to mention the personal enrichment of officials. Amazing that nobody in the IOC has the conscience to publicly protest the decision.
