The cops should have let him "trip" in the stairs as they took him away.

The police chase around 9 minutes in were likely foreigners. Wouldn't it be better if they didn't mention that and acted like it was a normal pursuit?

Why are they always pointing out that the person is unemployed? Does that automatically make them crazy?

Posted in: Revised law banning child porn possession goes into effect See in context
I see child porn even in manga form as an instigator to actually performing child porn. Ban it all, get some of the perv label of Japan.

Posted in: Revised law banning child porn possession goes into effect See in context
I didn't see anybody mention this;
Now anyone who “possesses child pornography for the purpose of satisfying his/her sexual interest” faces imprisonment of up to one year or a fine of up to one million yen.
So I can possess and sell it, as long as I don't pleasure myself watching the pictures or movies? A big loophole in the law, unless there are more not written in this article.

Posted in: Father of bullied boy who killed himself files criminal complaint See in context
My son is half Japanese. In 1st and 2nd grade the kids called him gaijin. The teachers didn't do anything. One kid was fighting with him all the time, and he scratched him in the face around the eyes. I went over to the parents of the kid and was pretty hard on them. The kid never did anything to my son again.
This is classic Japanese behavior, sweep it under the rug and don't talk about it....
