Yenot comments

Totally unlike your typical woman's scorn. She also went from breakup. skip the stalker's stage straight to murder.It is always the ones you least expect. Sometimes you have put away that male ego and realize the woman is nuts. I had similar situations where an 1st ex pulled a knife on me for not wanting to out to the club.2nd ex threw pasta all over me for saying thank you to a waitress. Both were extremely beautiful and upsettingly rich. After those espiosodes when a met a pretty lady and then realized she was also rich, I ran for the day.Each time I thought I could handle it Unfortunately this guy did not get thhat chance.

Another coward showing off that got shown off by taking a life. Not an accident, Selfish Stupidity. Mr. Kita hopefully you can rest in peace and your family and loved ones finds their peace as well.

GCB Spender, Most of the time , I respect and thinks your comments are fair and to the point, but to bunch everyone together as gutless, does this include yourself. I mean no insult it just that I been there. There is a different between guts and being naive. I respected him for his beliefs but as I had said before, An Angel surrounded by Devils is just suicide no matter the intentions.

@Elbuda Mexicano, you could not farther from the truth. Terrorists most of all are cowards past and present they have shown that soft targets are the best target and now that Japan has given them the attention that they desired, Japan becomes more of a target to prove they can hit anywhere to anyone. You do should intelligent, just do not be naive about the true nature of these monsters.

As long as there are humans, there will be wars. You really want to know the character of a man, give him power; Abraham Lincoln. We the power needs to be more involve with our governments no matter how much we think they are self serving and useless. This is why this merry go round is still turning. Stop pointing the finger at one individual for this terrorism group had Japan as all other infidels on their list.They had a reason but was just waiting for an excuse.

@WiliB, my thoughts are the same. This accident and recent accidents may the government to really do something about elder drivers. But in the same sense, I have seen many wives standing at the rear of cars as they are parking. Why?

I have two thoughts on this matter. One; Yes,The women and kids should be helped and the world should be involved and not just a few countries.. Two; No, If the Muslims after all these terrible events want to speak to the media and say over and over again, this is not the teaching of Islam, being directly in that arera, do something.Their efforts and financial input would not put a dent in these oil rich nations mainly Saudi Arabia. But it is known Saudi is playing both sides for their own selfish reasons. Also the koran was written by a warrior and like all religious teaching, the taking of blood is not only allowed but glorified.

Everyone here please forgive me for saying What The Hell Is Going On? There is no rationalzation to this and the recent events of similar events. I always felt it was great that kids could walk alone safely but also felt that it was pedophile heaven. It seems my worst nightmare is coming true and believe if say I am wrong and lay facts to that point, I would be overjoyed to be wrong. I can not and will not ever forgive anyone that hurts the weak especially children.

I strongly disagree that Japan should wait until they are attacked as you can not perdict the gravity of the attack. However I do feel that now is not the time to put boots on the ground over there. Also when the decision is made to do it, send special forces without the enemy or anyone else knowledge of what you are doing to protect your people snd your country.The day will come when all that are concern and worry about the abilities of these monsters will have to get involved.

@It'S ME, For someone whom served, thank you for your words. @Ostap Bender, don't get it twisted as I will always respect the opinions of others. Soliders are not politicians and with the events surrounding 9/11, our duty to protect our country as soliders were not to reason why but to do and die. Many of my friends died believing in a what they believed to be a just cause before ever learning what we know now. 20/20 is hind sight and be careful how you place that word, terrorist. If your actions are as sharp as words, then be my guest go after those that are truly responsible for this tragedy and not those that died believing they were protecting your rights as I stil do.

Yubara san, with all due respect and not to sound insulting but what world do you live in? It has been proven in many cases, paying the ransom leads to more ransoms. This act alone would make all japanese worldwide a target. Why? Because it let the terrorist know they have a guarantee ransom. It was in no way Abe fault but if you need to point the finger then point it at the people responsible and then yourself for living in a bubble. What Kenji Goto did was not selfish, just naive. His heart was in the right place but he failed to realized being an Angel surrounded by Devils is just suicide.

I donot appreciate or anyway condone this disturbed monster, however I never hear about the father in these cases. I have a son and being close, he either would tell me or I would notice. If so, I woulh have her committed and take my son .I was always told a woman can raise a boy but it takes a man to raise a man.This little boy is now scarred for life.

As this may be sad, it is more horrible and tragic that blindness and selfishness from some, politically correction by others. It seems it does not matter until the blood starts dripping at your door and then you are forced to put those video games and turn off that AKB 48. We allow our governments to hamper alternative fuel options as we pay for the same oil that is funding these monsters. Will it be revenge, vengeance or the right for all to live as they feel if all the countries stop this lip service about how they want to stop them and just wipe them off the face of the earth? The UN unoffically died 40 years ago. I have seen war and these guys know or care about the rules of engagement or war. This would not be war but a chance for your kids and their kids to live as they choose. You decide

Both sides of this issues have their pros and cons talking point. Once again turbotsat you seems to get hard on mentioning the Obamas. Sorry dude the story isn't about them. Strangerland some of your points maybe valid however I would never label former President Bush as the worst, just those around him such as the vice president. Yes there were many times that we asked ourselves why we were there. It really did not come into view until we could see all the private firms with ties to the former vice president. Firms that wired building that if you were one of the unlucky ones, you got fried taking a shower. Firms that provided the cafeterias that charged you per plate even the ones you used to cover your food 30 dollars each. Serving food only at a certain that even the enemy knew when to bomb you. As for a disgruntled America, no he was another victim of PSTD. Lies from your government, a merciless vicious enemy that is everything you told yourself not to believe and REGULAR MUSLIMS are different. Until you see those normal muslims soak a young woman in front of your compound with gas. You have the person to light in your hair sights but is told to stand down and just watch her burn. With some of you keep speaking your opinions but stop with your own facts.Those true soliders that fight wars do not glorify them.For my own personal reasons, I wished that it was not made.

@turbotsat & Himajin, allow me to explain something if you are truly willing to listen and have an honest debate. First I did not vote for him and have acknowledged policies by his presidency I do not like. Majority of the critism given never mention or point to the policies that they dislike but personl attack of the man and his family. Never in the history has any president received more death threats or verbal attacks on his family that includes his daughters. In the past the children especially was off limit.If you believe alot of this is not racist, you either never lived in american or lived in a plastic bubble. Majority of Obama policies are a carry over from the Bush years but Bush was not vicious attacked like this and he should not had been. The office of the president may mean little to some but to me and others that served it means everything as well as your right to free speech.

We can disagree without being judgemental and disagreeable. Why so many of you find it necessary to judge this person looks. I am not a fan of this person but feel this person is only stating her opinion and others that may feel the same. I do not believe they are an embarrassment but it does seems to be part of a pedophile like culture. I basically feels for most of the girls once they get older.However with most things these days, no matter what Japan decides to open with, there will still be those who will object and call that as well ,embarrassing. Let the pride of hosting the Olympics and the performance of the athletes that has trained extremely hard and made sacrifices be our focus point.

@90292, I disagree that the freelance reporter had a legitimate reason to be there.I also had a reason to be over there. #1. The difference is he had a choice, I did not. #2. When I was there I had the U.S. Armed Forces watching my back, he had ??? . Anyone that thinks about going to the middle east and that it maybe easy to somewhat difficult to get out is highly naive, suicidal, crazy or just plain stupid. Why put your family throught this is you do not have to.No way is the ransom going to be paid. If they were foolish to do that, they will make it open season on all japanese worldwide. For those that wants to blame Abe san, he did not give them a reason only an excuse. Not one person or country is immune from these sadistic lunatics.

@Chop Chop, I am in agreement with you on all your points including how the CRIME SECTION has become so depressing. However if it were not for JAPANTODAY Crime section, we would not be aware of majority of these stories. The mainstream news media has become more and more useless. I had said it before and I will repeat it again, many countries including Japan needs to address mental illness immediately. It is way past always being reactive when being pro active is the beginning of eliminating alot of these sad and unneccessary stories.

Now more than any other time in history the bottom for most if not all companies, large and small is the bottom line profits. Others have learn to bring a company is to interrupt that bottom line. When consumers pressure the sponsors of such derogatory statements or cartoons, it is amazing how soon that company changes their attitudes. Violence only breeds more violence. Killing those just working there is pointless and extremely wrong. The company itself stays intact and more intent to put out more disturbing material if this is what you feel. Many throws around that word freedom without realizing freedom is not free. You are given those freedoms by those of us that had served on the front line to ensure these freedoms. With that being said, I would hope to think that we will not run away from these rights many gave their life for you to have .I will say it again and again, all religions are dangerous in one way or the other.

@John Gait, I am much in agreement with you on this however where does that leave the Wall Street guys or those that are right now from past transgressions of taking others land and some cases, countries?

Very sad & horrible news. As we read this,I can not begin to imagine how family and friends feel at this news. .@BurakuminDes,; But jeez its fun. As true as this may be, we must at times think about others instead of ourselves, mainly family, friends and the rescue staff. Its a mental pain on all and should be realized if you want to go off-piste for a few minutes or hours of fun when a whole life and more adventures lies in front of you. Rest in peace my brothers.

Before you all condemn the police for their actions or lack of actions, how many knows the full text of this terrible situation. As for major corporations, I truly believe the top individual is responsible for the training and expertise of his staff. Laws such as stalking for many years and were never enforced until several unfortunate deaths occurred. To get their brownie points with the general public, the government finally passed a law. However as the law was passed, I believe it was check the box moment and majority of police still has not been trained to handle this issue. Does that means they should get a pass, of course not. More involvement from the general public is needed.

Have no tolerance for weak minded people taking out their personal weakness on those physically unable to protect themselves especially children. With that in mind, Japan as many other countries needs to finds out how so many people are experiencing mental issues. As much as technology has open many avenues for communications, it also have created many ways for us to personally communicate less as a society.

@Kajima Seibei, You make some very interesting and I believe correct insight to the problem at hand. As a foreign living in Japan, I never felt the need or desire to imply Japan should be like by native country. Many are here respecting the laws and cultures of Japan. I am personally against all religions and here in Japan, I do not feel any pressure to engage in any religion. However, I have recently read that a certain organization in Japan are installing special rooms for their muslim staff to pray. I find this totally out of step and unfair for anyone to practice their religious belief at the job. Japan must keep this out of their mainstream. One will lead to another. Just recently my rival university Duke I(GO TARHEELS) was intending to ring the church bell to inform muslims when to pray even though church bells has been banned by the school for other religions. Thankfully they changed their mind. Religion is dangerous and especially any religion that preach the extermination of those not like them. Before I get a lot of hate for this statement. I will admit I am bias and unfortunately served in the middle east and seen things so horrific but glorified by the mass that it just blows away any belief or open mindness you may had mind..

@smithinjapan, you are correct. She planned and excuted this as such. She forfeit her life when she took a life. Some of you may not the pain,agony and guilt many parents carry with them over the death of their child. Majority of all parents believe they should be the first to die and not the child. If this never happen to you and hopefully it never willI CAN IMAGINE HOW YOU FEEL or I FEEL YOUR PAIN. There are no words.No other parents should have to go through this pain again if this girl is ever released.

This is a proactive movement on the police account. For those of you that believes that no serious act was performed, would you like to hear of a death by this prankster first? If that would had happen, I do believe that you would also be the first ones to say why didn't the police arrest earlier when they had prior knowledge of his actions.I am hoping that the police have more info about him and kept alot of their info in house. This is the way it should be.

I would say no as it will be a no win scenario regardless. We should all learn from the past by living in the present to advance knowledge learn into the future. There is this saying that we all are entitled to our own opinions but not our own truths. I say this with every war, there are no winners. Yes some countries may claim victory but the poeople on both sides are the victims. there were no innocent country during WW2 and yes some were more evil than others.

As I had written before, History has and will continue to be His Story. It is written by the victors and is protrayed as the truth. No one person or country should be be above changing truths into lies and vice versa. Which due respect to many of the readers here, how many of you truly knows the events of the past? Also have may of you prior to even commenting already have a bias in regards to the subject matter. My point is that we as humans in order to try and begin to make a better future can not single out one country alone for past offenses if we are not able or willing to open that to the world in general. Can it be that easy to be judgemental of events and issues of the past without ever having the complete knowledge of those events? Or would it be much easier and fruitful to see what a country has done during our time and our ability to gain more availability and knowledge to learn more of the facts? Let try harder to move forward and as my grandfather once said; It you stir in old s&^t, it will only smell worst.

@Jimizo:First of all, the books themselves are written words and it is how those words are expressed in a public forum to incite people to openly commit violent and physical harm. Even the Old Testament is an fill with extreme hate and violence to others.@Bgood41: You stated it is time for the west to stop turning the other cheek. The west has never turned the other cheek and this can be verified by their actions in the past and throughout history.It is amazing how the followers of these religions always states and prays to almighty merciful God but yet shows no mercy to those that does not agree with them. It is the greatest trick ever done, to have billions believe in the invicible being.

First and foremost many countries have alot to atone for and not one country should be single out as the only one to do so. If a country of its own choosing decide to comment and atone for their past aggressions, more power to them. I love to learn from the past and choose not to live there. Many of us needs to do that.History is written by the victors and losers with their own spin which explains why history is only His Story.
