The 260000Y on him wasn't stolen. From his real job, no doubt. Find him the nastiest community service there is. Fuel recovery by hand at Fukushima daiichi comes to mind.

But skaterboarders have tattoos... and surfers, and BMXers. What was the JOC thinking?

Sarcasm - Off

My thoughts exactly. Must have been a big car.

I was involved in a procession of a hundred or so motorbikes and cars for a friend's wedding ( the bride, groom and guests were all acquainted with a Harley chop-shop) in Saitama long ago. The police were informed, and permits issued so that, with the cop's assistance at intersections, we could ride in double file and create the least amount of congestion possible along our route. It was noisy, to be sure, but it went smoothly and all concerned were respectful. So with the right attitude and forethought, a mass rally needn't be an unlawful.

The above story doesn't mention bousozoku style antics at all, so what indeed was the fuss?

Such a lack of imagination. The global populace, bar a few nerds, will be rolling their eyes and tuning out.

And typically, these booths lack a ceiling. A mirror on a pole would see everything.

Many moons ago, a guy jumped out in front of my motorcycle without looking, I hit his trailing ankle, he spun and hit the deck and was carried off to hospital in a meat wagon with a cracker of a bump on his forehead. The cops interviewed him and he said he looked before crossing. Using simple logic, I explained that if that were the case, he had attempted to commit suicide. The j-cops saw my logic and I got off with presenting him with a box of cakes. No recompense for my trashed bike, but no charges for me either. Now, if he had died...

No, if she had meant to kill him, she'd have cut him on the chin too.

Sarcasm- off.

I think Tora is correct, and in addition, the spitter will now probably go to the next level and target the shop owner's car or residence in order to 'avenge himself', as you can be sure he is a few snags short of a barbie.

^^ I think the same whenever I see a gas flare.

Kansai Ten, I have a 14 year old at home. My child BTW. To not let him do what he chooses, to a large extent, is considered an impingement on his freedom. You can't win easily...

That’s pretty impressive work. The police found the two, randomly in a car parked

They probably tracked her through her mobile or if she had a computer there may have been clues there too. Still, the police did a great job. My first thought when I read about where they were parked, briquettes sprang to mind and duct tape to seal the windows and doors"

As opposed to rope, saws, shovels?

And anyway, was she not there on her own volition?

^^^" if they were in a severely bad mental condition then why are they alone at home?"

You know this is Japan, right?

That's right AustPaul, you can still go for a surf for an hour too, as long as you wear a mask ;-)

The peeps at Bunnings were questioning whether they were essential workers, but I say they are. So much time to get stuff done in the home. Living the dream!

Good luck Japan.

The dead centre of town.

I have no problem with it so long as it is well regulated.

Yeah... Nah.

^^^ Hardly.

Multi lingual? Not that I can see.

Snowymountainhell, That bit is poorly written. You know as well as we native speakers.

I'd say the boys in blue turned up on their bicycles.

Bird baths you say. I like your optimism.

Oh? I've never seen a skanky mullet in Japan.

SandyBeachHaven, thank you for that important piece of information.

"I drink, not to forget, but just because it tastes nice and enhances the meal."

Riiiiight... You show me your non drug addiction, and I'll show you mine.

Why should that be considered rewarded unless he were able to keep his Nepalese one too.

Excellent work BTW.

A five day sacrifice to get back to nearly normal life without threat from this horrible virus? Yes please!

The J-cops seem to be big fans of Ms. Satomi. There's a lot of investigation that's gone into this case, unlike others you might hear about.

J-logic at it"s best.

Tragic. CO2 poisoning. The silent killer.

*this product. Not limited duration.

Awwww, for a limited time only?!!!

But seriously, a poll taken in the household has revealed this as a bad idea.
