NOMINATION comments

Police traced the bike to a housing complex in Izumi and staked out the building.  

In my experience, police in Osaka go all out for stolen bikes and not much for anything else.

Her husband was apparently unaware of what she had done.

Get outta there while you can homie!

All these people calling for life imprisonment don't seem to realize that this punishment does not exist in Japanese law.

It does exist.

Crimes against kids here tend to get light sentences. Rarely have I seen life sentences.

Losers. You are ready to marry at 18 but not ready for a baby?

My money is on Gaza protesters doing this.

I don't see any evidence that Biden is anything but lucid.

Calls Ukrainian people "Iranian"

Reads teleprompter instructions aloud

Looks for Republican politician in audience that was dead for months before

Calls Kamala the President

Says U.S. has 54 States

Calls Cambodia "Colombia"

Shakes hands with nobody there

Can't exit a stage without going the wrong direction or stumbling

Yip above, do you still believe that rubbish claim of a Hamas underground command centre ??

Probably the same as you believing everything that Hamas has to say.

America has become the land of conspiracies.

Most Americans don't sit around dwelling on politics. Non-Americans in here think they know the U.S. inside and out by the couple articles they read everyday.

Standard Japanese way to fearmongering, yes they are illegal but not that unsafe. Many countries have airport where operate unlicensed taxis, some even better than licensed taxis because it's operated by senior driver who know cities better than younger driver that operate licensed taxis.

Well several countries have unlicensed taxis that will pick you up from the airport then overcharge you, drive off with your luggage or take you to a spot for someone to rob you. That my friend is unsafe. Better be safe than sorry.

Right wing extremists are the biggest threat to democracy I am told everyday here. I guess the World is about to collapse as they crash a kei car into a random barricade.

Came back from U.S. this past weekend. My plane had to be 95% non-Japanese it seemed and it was nice walking straight through the Japanese/Re-entry lines in Immigration. The foreign visitor line was miles long.

Biden will feel the wrath of Arab and Muslims,their is not enough Jews to swing an election nationally, Black and Hispanic will align political with Muslim,Jewish politican ,are at the mercy of other minorities,they do not and cannot control

There will be 2 choices for President whether YOU like it or not.

New to Japan? Welcome! This story has been around for like at least a generation, and there is so much information out there about the "why" that it would take a wall of text to explain it all.

The story has been around for decades but mainstream media coverage has not. Now all mainstream outlets have finally hopped on the bandwagon but way too late.

Only in Japan, arrested for a silly youtube video.

Only in Japan? You can be arrested for harassing somebody for a YouTube video in many upon many countries.

I’m shocked! Can’t believe we finally agree on something.

To be fair if Biden supported Hamas, he would probably go that direction lol

Selective quoting again. I posted many times, that both Biden and Trump are too old to be president again. So how does your propaganda work out I am one of Biden's biggest fans on JT.

Daily Trump bashing, ZERO Biden comments even on Biden articles. Why?

He has to win the election first and deal with four criminal cases.

and as one of Joe Biden's biggest fans on JT, can you please give us your opening arguments on why Joe Biden is well deserving of being POTUS again?

Just an everyday occurrence in every town in the USA. I am stunned this made any news.

Such a dangerous place.

Things non-Americans and gullible people say. Didn't hear about any shootouts over a stolen car in my town today, yesterday or the day before that.

It isn't anti-semitism. It's anti Israel and anti-Zionism. Big difference, one is bad but the other is the right way of behaving.

Corrrection: It isn't ALL anti-semitism. I am pretty sure graffiti with swastikas and "Death to Jews" is anti-semitic.

Surging in the US also - especially in Red States...

Jewish people being killed in Blue Cities.

The general manager of the Tigers, Shingo Furuya, committed suicide after evidence of the team's blatant dishonesty came to light.

A few jerks in management doesn't represent the team and their fans. Bass is considered a god among Hanshin fans and he himself has zero ill will towards the franchise. He often returns to Japan to watch games at Koshien and does autograph signing events. I met him at a Costco signing years back to promote his beef jerky. He wore his Tigers jersey and shared his great times with the Tigers. I can guarantee you will see him at a game this upcoming series.

I've been a fan of the Tigers for decades and this has been by far the hardest year to get tickets. I was able to win the drawing to the Japan Series in 2014 to every home game easily. This time I failed about 5 drawings and of course it was impossible to get the first come first serve tickets. The hustlers are out in full force though selling tickets for 6 figures on Yahoo Auction. Anyways, Go Tigers!

A friend of mine for a few weeks had a guy on a motorbike grab her behind on her walk home from work. Police did nothing. So her mother decided to get off work early and met her at the station after that. A few months later, her mom had to work late one evening and couldn't get to the station on time. My friend decided to walk home as the guy was nowhere to be seen for months. As she walked home, the same guy immediately came around and grabbed her again. This time her mom went to the police station and raised hell about it. Police patrolled the station the next day and the guy was never to be seen again.

That’s a joke. Ever try to track a bear?

You can always expect the resident bear "experts" here.

In a way, it's admirable - albeit quite confusing - how the Far Left have been embracing the cause of Palestine.

If only mental gymnastics were an Olympic event, they would get gold medals galore:

Wants Israel wiped off map but don't say a peep about Jewish people and hates Christians

Hates Saudi Arabia for violating human rights/defends Saudi Arabia for not opening their doors to Palestians/wants them in the U.S./wants immigrants out of their "sanctuary" cities

Constantly complain about old people in the government but support Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi wholeheartedly

Their is NO MILITARY solution for injustice, Israel and it's allies must accept the fact that the Occupation of Palestine is the ROOT Cause of this conflict.

The country you come from occupies native land too but are you on the front lines of protesters with that issue? Nope!

Police said a patrol car noticed the vehicle moving in a “suspicious” manner, without specifying how, at around 3:15 a.m. 

I have been pulled over twice in Japan at night for having an out of prefecture license plate. Then the police proceeded to search my car without asking. This could have been what was "suspicious."

Step aside then. You’re the problem.

and how does this "problem" affect you?

Pro-Palestinian isn't support of terrorism. Pro-Hamas would be. While all Hamas may be Palestinian, all Palestinians are not Hamas. And Hamas are the terrorists.

Not all Republicans support Trump and not all Russians support Putin but that doesn't stop you.

US govt. has declared this is all on Hamas. Why? Did they do this and lie saying Israel did it to gain some political points

Only progessives are on the Hamas side. Moderates always side with Israel and anyone born and raised in the U.S. should know why.
