Posted in: Woman killed by boyfriend after she consulted police about his violence toward her See in context

When police asked if she wished to file a complaint, she declined to do so, saying she feared it would enrage Fukuoka.

So why did she bother going to the police in the first place??

Posted in: 87-year-old man gets 8 years in prison for killing 81-year-old wife See in context

Eight years for killing someone? Why not the death penalty or at least life in prison?

Also, how many 87-year-old Japanese have never cooked rice in their life??

 a direct train service between JR Shin-Osaka Station and Kansai International Airport

But there already exists such a train! It's the Haruka limited express. How much time can this new proposed train shave off the existing journey time of 50 minutes? Will there be any other benefits besides a shorter travel time?

Since when does an apology bargained as part of a settlement mean anything?? Unless it comes willingly from the perpetrator without any legal pressure, it's worthless!!

Posted in: Gov't panel proposes air traffic control measures to boost safety after Haneda collision See in context

It doesn't take a panel to recommend common-sense measures like that. Except that it's irrelevant in this case as the cause was pilot error. The captain of the Coast Guard plane didn't obey ATC instructions.
