He was just a kid; he probably does not remember what he was doing.

His burnt, crispy neck may make it physically impossible to execute him using the standard procedure.

Maybe nitrogen would be a better alternative.

The name-calling is not constructive or accomplishes anything. There are underlying societal issues that drive a mother to try to flush her baby - where is the community accountability here? Where is her support circle?

Because of the burns on his body, he may have to be short-drop-hanged or risk the chance of being beheaded. He will kick with his eyes and tongue bulged out before swinging both legs forward and backward and will also have bowel waste staining his underpants. It takes 15 minutes of agony in this manner and his body will jerk around on the noose from post-partum nerve reactions.

He deserve this and I hope Abe killer get the same method as well.

"the 66-year-old owner of the fish shop, and his 56-year-old Thai wife" - why mention her nationality?

Posted in: Man arrested for assaulting woman, trying to steal her underwear See in context

The lady is not alright.

The man was trying to pull her underwear off; that is traumatic and a loss of trust and security. That will take a very long time for her to overcome

Look like the author is a feminist glorifying this woman ignoring the fact her biggest victims were the exploitation of women.

55 and 52 can fight back and leave marks of a struggle. Not getting the complete story and don't believe the son is innocent as he is the proxy between his parents and her.

Posted in: Man arrested for assaulting worker over noise caused by snow removal machine See in context

In Japan, 8:45pm is the peak time to enjoy regular life away from the work and chores. Also the sun is down and the snow start to compact. Snow removal should always be done during daylight and for safety reasons if the operator collapse while working in the snow.

Posted in: Man gets 20 years for killing woman, dumping her body in Miyagi mountain forest See in context

"A life sentence is more appropriate, if not a five foot drop."

There is no "five foot drop" as the average person is over 5 feet tall - that would have their head above the trap door - the table of scales are 7 feet, especially in Japan where they fall completely through the trap door.

Posted in: One-third of Japan's unmarried adults under 50 have never dated See in context

One-night stands, and casual sex are frequent in Japan - these are not considered "dates," so trust the terminology with a grain of salt.

Posted in: Woman arrested after slashing 4 men in train at Tokyo's Akihabara station See in context

Blacksamurai - when the lockdown happened around the world, causing economic chaos - crime and violence broke out as well. Even in Japan, an old man on a subway was attacked just for coughing. People fought over toilet paper supplies. Road rage was a common occurrence.

The economy does change people and their moods, both good and bad times.

Instead of name-calling, how about discovering why a "company employee" is drinking heavily? Something underlying is going on, and we are experienced enough to know it could be work, stress, and financial issues on a greater level that create this snowball effect.

He didn't just start drinking like this out of a vacuum. We see these patterns when the economy is bad worldwide and written in books. This speaks more to Japan's economic and governance situation.

There have been a lot of close calls/collisions at Haneda since major airlines from Narita.

Haneda may not be designed/ready for such a volume

Posted in: Woman arrested after showing up at Saitama police station with dead baby See in context

Only a man would express the requirements a single 27 woman having a baby alone need "responsibility"

I doubt anybody who raised a child is "ready" and understands the labor and details of raising an infant

Posted in: Woman arrested after showing up at Saitama police station with dead baby See in context

This is a breakdown of society, and I do not hold the lady responsible.

She did not know what to do. Are there any social services available to educate her on caring for an infant? That was the point of failure, not her actions to a broken system.
