Posted in: 3 suspects who robbed elderly woman at home after one asked to use her toilet arrested See in context

oldman

No coincidence at all that these types of random crimes are becoming ever more frequent in Japan the past decade. Those days of people bragging about wallets being left behind on public trains and returned unmolested to the owners is long gone I am afraid. There really is no such thing as a completely safe area anymore.

IMO: When they start committing felonies, because they want food, money, maslow heirachy , etc. Maybe its time re-think survival and self defense rules.

Unfortunately::

"Yayoi Imamura suggests that this problem stems from inadequate psychiatric medical education and the reimbursement system of national health insurance. These shortcomings contribute to relatively poor care (and outcomes) for patients."

"They argue that further reform is blocked by the Japanese Association of Psychiatric Hospitals, a private industry lobby group that zealously guards its beds and profits. As a result, dysfunctional practices in Japan's mental health care system persist

IMO the way many rude JNs drive here etc, a person can get tore up, easily. I've seen huge trucks, and cars run red lights, Taxi drivers, couriers, road hog mammy chariots, speeding down neighborhood streets, and people crossing the street almost getting clipped by anxious drivers making a turn where the pedestrian clearly has the green man signal to walk. Not to mention the a past incident of (8 injured after car, motorbike collide in Yokohama; car driver arrested) Commuting can be perilous if not very watchful these days.

@ScottDRad

BINGO:

An elderly women died homeless on the street who should have had more access to social welfare.

A man who needed support for his mental health didn't receive it and and as a consequence committed a terrible crime.

"those who are depressed. a person can only take so much verbal abuse." OR social abuse.

As a member of a western expat, and veteran, social world wide group, we have various locations near the bases, where we gather to discuss and share many issues, and by doing so we provide understanding and social support, and reach out to among ourselves to help with i.e. Japanese culture shock to us but to Japanese locked society issues, and we share helpful information to assist each other. A social support system is very important when living in a host country. We often discuss how when looking for answers about social issues from the Japanese the response sought can be different or very limited or perceived not helpful for many of us, even if we are fluent in Japanese, but when the same issues are discussed with our groups a more meaningful reaction is often received, mainly because we share similar values, traditions , mores, and can communicate globally with other westerners as well within similar global groups.

Sure is, I've seen many such cases in the news over the years. They need to start publishing these miscreants, on a sex offender terrorist list. No telling how many and what STD's were in his body fluids.

@shogun

I think the J police and firemen are competing against each to see who can create the most sexual harassment cases in 2020.

It seems that 2019 went to the police, but 2020 is definitely in the fire fighters favor.
