Mainichi: Three killed in Nagoya hit-and-run as car swerves onto sidewalk
Three people died here Monday in an early morning hit-and-run when they were struck by a car that swerved onto a sidewalk. Police are searching for the four men and women believed to have been in the vehicle at the time of the incident who fled the scene on foot. The three victims -- 34-year-old Yoshitaka Nakano, and Makoto Yamamoto and Mariko Miwa, both 29 -- were pronounced dead at a local hospital. According to police and witnesses, the car was a white Toyota Celsior, with Gifu Prefecture license plates registered to another vehicle. Police say the victims were waiting for the light to change at an intersection when the westbound vehicle came through the junction swerving to the left, broke through the guardrail and hit the three. Police believe the driver was trying to avoid an oncoming car making a right turn. After the car hit the victims it continued to spin, plowing into a roadside bicycle parking area and finally coming to a stop against a parking lot fence about 50 meters from the intersection. The vehicle was severely damaged, leading police to believe it was travelling at high speed when it entered the intersection. According to police, a taxi driver who witnessed the accident said the people in the car "looked like foreigners."

Other reports suggest the police found evidence in the car which linked to a Brazilian man so we shouldn't get too self-righteous about only the taxi driver being quoted.

You miss my point... all the time crap happen they start blaming foreign looking individual, most of the time they have to retract afterward. With this kind of track record, it's usually better to STFU and wait to have a little more data before getting to precise and quoting some drunktard taxi driver. Don't know for your hood, but nagoya taxi are not exactly nobel prize material. (as well as like every other in this country, they can't find their asses even with a hunting dog pointing it for them)

Five people driving around in the early hours of the morning at high speed with fake plates sounds extremely like Latin American driving to me.

From the information so far, a car accident in Nagoya involving a stolen license plate from Gifu, which has a decent sized Brazilian population in Mino, and a foreign driver. My thought immediately went to a Brazilian driver so I am not surprised by the taxi drivers account nor that something like this would actually happen. I hope they catch the bastard and he pays for his actions.

Just heard on the TV news that a keitai found in the car was registered to a Brazilian.

No one is missing your point. It's just you're arrogant attitude that you should be above the law just because you are a foreigner. Fuck you.

Dood, you either new here, or a sandwich short of a picnic or the fattest troll evar...


MY POINT IN SIMPLE WORDS:

At the time of the first report:
-just taxi driver was saying "look like fureigners"
(problem, for taxi driver, the criteria to claim someone maybe foreigner is"comitting a crime" because it's known that japanese can't do no bad)

-every incident is usually blamed on fureigners first before retraction most of the time.

-therefore media should wait to have a little more data before claiming anything (like the keitai who seems much more serious proof than a Nagoya taxi driver).

Now, explain me how you read this as "i are above the law" ? please ?

[kino]

My understanding may not be current but, I believe no extradition treaty exists between Brazil and Japan, right? I am aware of at least one previous case where a citizen of Brazil escaped a fatal hit-and-run incident by fleeing the country. If the perps are foreign, they will probably be looking for flights out of the country about now.

You're right that we shouldn't make assumptions based strictly on how much Brazilians suck at driving. They make great friends and are always willing to spot you for a bottle when you need a drink but are short on cash.

Edit:
You know, if you pin those two things together, it sounds a lot like drunk driving, but again, let's not jump to conclusions!

By the time I posted this English story, the Japanese press was already reporting the discovery of a mobile phone linked to a Brazilian man in his thirties which is why I didn't intend any irony when I chose the headline for the post.

I'm also uneasy about the way eye-witness statements about perpetrators being foreigners are so readily reported but I have to say, off the top of my head, that I can't recall any occasions, after suspects have been apprehended, where that identification has proved to be wrong. We'd have a stronger case to complain about such coverage if there were. The nearest I can remember is when there was an indiscriminate shooting incident in Sasebo. The shooter committed suicide and wasn't immediately identified but people did initially wonder if it was a foreigner because of the nature of the crime, not because of the description. I don't think media reports mentioned a foreigner but I'm not certain.

In the end, foreigners are still a small enough percentage of the total population that identifying a suspect as foreign-looking or foreign-sounding is helpful to police. It can get slightly absurd when a witness tries to guess nationality or ethnicity. One of the Montenegrins behind a jewellery heist in Ginza was described by one of the counter staff as looking like a South American.

Still funny that these facts popped out in the news before what they now said aboot a police car chasing them before the accident... Seems they stopped the chase 2.5 km before the crash because it was deemed unsafe, somehow hope they won't take too much flak for this [EDIT to clarify: hoping the cops won't take too much flak]. In Paris between ambulance and firemen you'd better run fast when you cross. For the cops... they aim at pedestrian on purpose... so unless they are too drunk to aim properly, you'r as good as fucked... (can recall 3 near miss in my 2 years before leaving... working on the way between a prison and the courthouse is calling for darwinism... those doofus escort prisonners in motorcade first and last vehicule being a van with sidedoors open and machine gun wielding maniacs waiting for half a reason to go dirty harry on some student ass)

Several things here. First to answer your question: am I new here? Son, you should know who I am by now.

Second, your point is useless. You are not making one because you have no point other being racist.

Third, your accusation that the media jumps on conclusion by blaming foreigners for all Japanese ills is so fucking ridiculous that you must certainly have a chip on your shoulder. Relax and cheer up. You would be surprised at how infrequently Japanese people think of foreigners.

Nuf said, my previous post still stands.

I think either way, it just makes us FG's look worse, which just frustrates us all. And it always just seems that the press blows things up waay out of proportion when an FG is involved. I mean, the point here is that if these weren't FG's, then would this story even be getting any press?

Hey, I say regardless of their passport, if you fuck up, you fuck up. But you can't argue that things get handled differently, which is obvious.

Three people killed in one-hit and-run in the middle of Nagoya City? That will always get press. Coverage tends to die down quickly if the suspects are apprehended but these guys are still at large.

The fact that they were foreigners and, as it turns out, in a car chase only adds to the fervour.

I saw on the news this morning that one guy has been arrested.

He's been arrested on suspicion of boosting a car near the scene of the accident:

Reports say he has admitted being in the hit-and-run car but says he wasn't driving.

These kind of answers is the reason I stopped arguing with 5 years old at toys'r us... (replace racist with "poopy head") Much easier to settle it over a round of Street Fighter 2...

When I was reading Japan Today, the "blame fureigners, think after" was like an official editorial policy...
