Come on, it's just drug man, lighten up

Zaphod - I suggest you walk around Shimbashi after midnight, the dressed up and hooded guys hanging around are not there socializing about their golf swing

One can assume that 18-year-old in Shimbashi had a "handler" that is affiliated. The assailant is not going to like prison

Only someone with American dollars can afford that - no one from Japan can afford to pay in yen

It happens everywhere.

This does not happen anywhere, especially in Western nations. If anything young teens are celebrating having babies in other Western countries with social services. Japan appear to be lacking these services - it is unnatural for a mother to dispose of her child in this manner, even if a stillborn. Something is broken.

whose father is Japanese and mother is Chinese

There is a reason Japanese men are becoming passport bros and Japan does not want to admit why it is part of the rapid population decline. I still remember the article where a young Japanese woman says she doesn't date men who wear Uniglo on the first date.

The Japanese men are going to Korea, China, Thailand and Vietnam and no one wants to face the situation.

"Making silent calls calms my mind,"

Still struggling to understand the why/how this would calm someone mind

Next time, have a drag queen read a book to the passengers so no one will dare complain

I didn't know these tables were for eating in - I use to sit here and read "the magazines" if you know what I mean.

I support rope choking criminals for their heinous action against others

test him

We know in the USA, they give low-wage jobs to migrants to skew the "payroll increase" metric to claim companies are hiring and the economy is growing. I would be skeptical of Japan numbers - I was at a restaurant in Tokyo and the young Japanese server politely begged me for a tip - a first in my lifetime.

If correct, the France can charge him with murder as well

"The damage you inflicted on the victims is not limited to money," Presiding Judge Mihoko Tanabe told Watanabe after handing down the ruling. "I would like you to think again about how to compensate the victims in the future."

I'll let your imagination figure out what he suggesting Riri to consider

Kishida was horrible and Japan fell from #2 to #4 under him

girl_in_tokyo,

There underlying issue that cause situation like this to escalate. I lived in the West and know how violence manifest.

It is rarely the text messages or whatever action printed in the news. People snap and stalk because they feel deeply disrespected, plain and simple.

If an ex want to come after their ex, they would do it regardless. But most occur when someone feel deeply disrespected like being suddenly cutoff, ghost - that's disrespectful and why I'm learning Japanese men don't care for Japanese women.

So whatever virtual signaling you trying here, the key in life if to treat others with dignity and respect and hard ghosting another person is not something to play around with

We don't know what is going on between the two - she could have cheated on him and don't take responsibility. But six messages in a few days is part of a phase of breakup, not stalking

Death-row inmates are terrified

So were their victims

told police he needed money for living expenses

Japan need to hand out 200,000 yen stimulus checks if a 74-old is driven to this point

The boy is 10-years old, this should have been included for context

Japan need to support anchor babies like the USA.

Things are so queer in Osaka, so queer...

People can be nice, but everybody has a breaking point

This is an alarming trend worldwide, accusing tourists of being spies for taking pictures in the wrong places. Be careful when you travel.

The only maker in Belgium is FN which are military-grade guns

The rationale doesn't math - if people left their jobs for better jobs, they wouldn't be considered unemployed but transitioning. That would lower the unemployment rate.

The Japanese economy is not good and I noticed the hostile acquisition of 7-Eleven is not being covered in Japan

Have a poll on X and let Internet users decide

This is disrespectful to Japan and no one want to see a 61-year-old European limper and a self-hating Asian past their sexual primes engaged in sexual acts - I hope they treat him accordingly behind bars

There is an additional video on X with him being confronted - he is Chinese.

I need a better context. It seems the Japanese petitioners acknowledged Yasuke was a real person, but they are saying they are protesting the mere presence of a Black guy in a movie.

This is not "creative liberties." Yasuke was a real historical figure.
