Posted in: Antonio Inoki feeds 1,000 homeless in Shinjuku park See in context

I took pity on a homeless guy I always saw sleeping in the park and asked him if he was hungry? He said he was so I told him to wait and I went back to my place and told my wife I wanted to bring the guy home for dinner. She freaked and said no possisible way but suggested I take him to a family restaurant which I did with my mother in law in tow. We asked how he came to be sleeping in the park and he said he had lost his job in Osaka and came to Tokyo looking for work and someone had ripped off his pack sack when he was sleeping somewhere and had lost not only all his money but his glasses and false front teeth as well. After dinner Baachan said to me, " there's millions like him don't worry about him". The guy was about 50 and he said to me that he really wanted to work but was at rock bottoms so I introduced him the next day to the owner of a cafe restaurant in Ginza whom I am friends with. For only that reason my friend reluctantly gave him a job washing dishes and later found him a one room apartment for which he even acted as gauranture. The man worked about six months and one day he took me and the shachou out out for lunch at Denny's. Life was turning around for him, he even had new teeth and glasses care of some welfare program he was introduced to. This story almost had a happy ending, but one day I met the shachou and asked him about our friend. He said, "You are not going to believe this but that idiot fell in love with a twenty something super market cashier who happened to speak nicely to him. He kept going to the supermarket and tried to talk to her every day. She finally complained and he was warned by the police to back off. He then started drinking and apparently blew his million yen plus in savings on pachinko and didn't show up for work for two days. I fired him. You can't help these guys even if you try."

Simon...he was sentenced in Chiba district court, and he was lucky to only get 18 years as he cooperated totally from his arrest. The previous year, a similar rapist fireman in Sapporo got 30 years.

I trained karate for ten years with a tough Japanese fireman who I had the greatest respect for until he was arrested at age 29 for nine cases of break and enter, assault and rape. He got 18 years. I feel sorry for his victims and sad he wasted his life.

Hey Cris, Thanks for your support. I don't suggest stepping into trouble but sometimes it is necessary. This was a learning experience. My elbow has healed and I just want to forget the whole thing.

Posted in: Assistant judge fired for taking upskirt film See in context

Interesting how a concerned citizen held him so the authorities could take custody...

2 months ago I heard a woman scream at a man and follow quickly after him on the Yurakucho line. They passed by in front of me as he was trying to get away from her and she was yelling at him, "You took my picture didn't you?!" She pinned him in the corner and yelled "TOUSATSU!" up the carriage. The train stopped moments later and the door opened. The guy was trying to break away from her grip and get off the train. I couldn't just sit there so I got off the train and came up behind the guy and grabbed him. He turned, freaked, and tried to bolt. The woman lost her grip and I bear hugged the guy and kicked out his feet. We fell hard on the cement. I split my elbow but didn't notice till later. I pinned the guy for 10 minutes in a headlock. Finally the woman got the station dudes to come. They took the guy away with the woman and her friend. I had to be somewhere so I didn't go but gave my card. The cops called me in the next day. The guy was arrested as the woman pressed charges. I got the red carpet from the cops as well as ¥10,000 per visit for the 2 trips I made to give statements. My elbow treatment cost ¥7,000 though with insurance and is still screwed. The cops said that money could only be regained if I went to civil court. My friends all said I shouldn't have gotten involved.
