Posted in: Man beaten to death after his car intercepted by gang of foreigners See in context
I saw the video taken from the mobile phone on a TV show today and it looked like the man who was being chased threw a black bag across the street. The attackers came back after fleeing the first time and searched the car and then as the police turned up they fled again. They were speculating on TV that it was drugs-related and that the bag was an important clue. Obviously the police are not giving too much information away in order to catch them. Hopefully!

I remember the yakuzas used to extort payments from club owners to stop dance raids being carried out. Now the yakuzas have one less reason to threaten them.

It's usual to have the some of bones left intact in Japanese cremations. After the cremation the bones are picked out with chopsticks and placed in a box to be taken to the resting place.

I had a student before who was a public school teacher in Kawasaki. He said it is a pretty rough area. He said he had to even visit the home of one student who's father was mafia connected. Such a tragic story.
Kawasaki has a large "chimpira" population. I looked at an apartment there near the station but it was quite scary. I'd think twice about bringing up a kid there.

CGB Spender -"Ah the feminists again! Almost as unnecessary as the atheists! When do they realize that women and men are fundamentally different in just about every way."
I know men who are feminine and women who are masculine and some going through sex changes (in Japan) so I judge what people can do on an individual basis. Anyway most intelligent beings would rather not fight especially for corrupt governments,propaganda or religions.

I've never had a decent "fish and chips" in London. But I will give it a go. Although authentic would be wrapped in newspaper and deep-fried in lard and not to be eaten in the shop.
