Yokota comments

"really close to the now declared safe, recently restarted Sendai nuclear plant. 144 km by road, probably 50 miles as the crow flies"

Unfortunately, for earthquakes that kind of distance is nothing for seismic waves to travel and very quickly...indeed very parlous prospects for that nuke plant location.

"Coming to Japan is like the 5 stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance."

that's right!

Ah yes not to mention the phantom vandalizer, the untimely sanitation collectors, and the inconvenient postal receipt leavers.

Welcome to Japan.

"The U.S. Navy’s nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan" Its actually a small city...waiting for CHINA...

"Japan, which accepted just 11 asylum seekers out of 5,000 applications last year, will provide about $810 million in aid in response to refugees fleeing Syria and Iraq, "

Let the truth be told:

The majority are Muslims....more have been going and are going to Malaysia, and Indonesia, where they feel more comfortable, and have access to Islamic culture. Malaysian govt provides them huge benefits, and there are tons of Mosques, and Middle eastern stores and restaurants. AND they can open up and run businesses much easier than in Japan..

"the 54-year-old male driver and stole his wallet"

perhaps: unemployment or unemployable; no fixed address; boozed out; don't remember....

"I usually think these scuffles are childish."

"Well, at least, for once, they're not sleeping on the job.".

"This photo is very representative of Japanese society as a whole."

check that out...

Just checked another news link: http://news.yahoo.com/floods-spark-evacuations-japan-deluged-050016959.html This is could be very serious.

"Kanda area where I was at"

Lot of chinese restaurants there, and heavy smokers in those restaurants...especially at lunchtime...

In a tiny country like Japan:

"the Yakuza (893) is able to continue to operate legally in plain sight, is because the Japanese Government, the Royal Family, the 10 largest industrialist families, and the Yakuza are all one in the same."

no wonder millions of yens are wisely spent for charitie, huge technology spending, military spending, mental illness facilities, planned parenthood, not to mention Myagi, Iwate, Fukushima, and Okinawa can get so much help and benefits.

Of course its not only a Japan thang

"What dignity? This is merely a report of what happened. Why do you object to seeing what actually happened more than you object to what actually happened happening, or guns in general? And one more thing, I didn't even notice the picture until your post."

Excellent point!

actually:

"the remains of a body found in a car pulled from a river are those of a 26-year-old woman reported missing three years ago." "Police have yet to determine the cause of her death."

"Police said they are examining surveillance camera footage to see who went into the room."

"American man arrested for disposing of woman's body in Kanagawa bay"

there goes the neighborhood...

Toshiba used to get it whites from Roppongi. Japan’s 10th-biggest company by assets and market value despite its stock price falling 26% since the scandal surfaced in early April'.....this is billy bonkers by definition. Fraud with a capital F

they got to scream "bloody murder"

"Police said Kamata, who was identified through street surveillance camera footage," Good Job cameras!

"There was no "contamination" of the environment in Fukushima anywhere outside of the plant "

really? http://netc.com/

the Peeping tom's are back again, actin a mff again THAT's them! between the sniffers, clothes line snatchers, and peeping tom's you never know who's gonna act a mff again, That's Them!

"The system will more than likely offer self-defense based on child abuse and will probably get released back into the community after serving a stint in a psychiatric hospital."

Good point, upon release for such horrendous acts, the medical RFID chip should be available.

Who knows how many have been released back out into the mainstream or minor stream of Japanese society with the high probability to "smap" again at the slightest or inadvertent stimulus.

The suspect, [with a maladjustment hit record]; unemployed from Meguro Ward, turned up at a hospital in Setagaya Ward about an hour after the attack, carrying the ice pick and two knives.

Looks like a candidate for the RFID chip implant

"A creative writing circle would be a more appropriate forum"

The house they lived in Utsunomiya, Tochigi Prefecture was big compared to most Japanese houses in japan but may become haunted after this murderous violent family incident :

@ Torakichi

"if the government cracked down on the Yakuza and jailed them all, 80% of the Diet would be in jail. The country would fall apart. It's nice to wish for such things, but this will simply push the Kodo-Kai out to somewhere else."

They say the FEMA camps are ready for the Yaks in America.

"His language is being closely watched by China and South Korea for any signs of backsliding by Japan." Ok now I get it, cause The Albert Pike Plan-New World Order isn't worried about any of "those signs"

How did this one, get hold of the "Japan postal employee uniform" to commit these felonies/ 重罪, 犯罪, 重犯, 犯行?

@ scipantheist "Surprise, surprise, it is an anti-baser."

I know what you mean, they had one near the off base housing in oki_no_no who would leave his dog droppings in the front walkway, everyday. The Local keystones, would do nothing about it. So the US family moved on base. They said the water tasted much better also.

Hello Wc626,

Is there any legal action victims can take here in Japan? Yes there is, but you can help by making this website viral, the more global eyes the better. thanks

perhaps they should move on... 1) they have their own land 2)they dont have the big radiation problem

What is the real secret reason why the Japanese dont want the US bases there? Left wings, nationalist etc...come on out with it. Its ok its time now; 2015 let it be known, let it loose.
