I suppose it's still not legal to set them on fire, after locking people inside...

That would be murder.

When I think back on my life in Japan I still remember this and other idiotic noises blasting all the fucking time. I live in the hood now, and it has its drawbacks, but if you TRY to annoy people you will get killed. Thank God.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Coligny again.

I've mentioned before, back in June 1999 in Toyota City, the black truck boys cruised the Homi public housing development trying to mess with some nikkei Brazilian residents...only to find themselves in a burning vehicle surrounded by hostiles ready and able to throw down.

Perhaps somebody with better Googlefu can find the details.

Well, you could always buy really cheap older (larger) vehicles (known as missiles) and use them as the name implies....then use the Greji excuse that you mistook the accelerator and brake bonus points if it's a Toyota

Now that's just....awesome

Japan: The land of subtle beauty and quiet contemplation.

When confronted by a group of right-wing thugs driving a loudspeaker screaming out messages along the lines of "Foreigner Go Home," [color="Red"]the foreigners took on the harassers in a very non-Japanese way: they firebombed the soundtruck.[/color]

Yeah! Fire! Fire! The streets will flow with the blood of the non-believers!

A little late to replying, but we had 16 of those trucks in a caravan outside the mansion over the weekend. Thanks for the explanation as to why it was especially loud. The police were out there also, but I think it was more for traffic control.

It seems there is a local communist party office across the street. Pardon the ignorance, but are the black loudspeaker trucks communists also? My husband just lumps them in with what he calls right wing nationalists - another fringe group he pays no mind.
