Clayton Plater comments

I heard that the train guard used someone’s briefcase to defend himself and overcame the killer with the help of other passengers. Don't go defending the nut job. I experienced homelessness and unemployment as a youth. Nothing can condone what this coward has done. His first victim was a woman. He is a pathetic worthless animal who has taken a brave man's life, disfigured and ruined two young woman’s lives. Good thing the death penalty is in place for scum like him.

Sexual harassment in Japanese companies is a joke. A friend of mine who works for a taxi company was constantly sexually harassed by senior staff, with such comments as "Why don't you lift up your dress, it will make you feel cooler". She was also asked to go to a love hotel after a work function. Then they made her the only staff member as the company representative to attend a seminar on sexual harassment.

One time I was propositioned by a female owner of an English school I worked for. She asked me to go to a hotel together to relax. I told her to go to her home to relax without me. I resigned not long afterwards...
