Yakuza-slandering scissors suicide

[Taro Toporific]

Man talked out of suicide at Tokyo City Hall
Yomiuri / Aug 26
...threatened to stab himself in the throat with a knife and a pair of scissors in front of visitors to the south observatory on the 45th floor of the Tokyo Municipal Government Building ...When the police arrived at the scene, the man told them a gangster had threatened to kill him...
...the police managed to persuade him to hand over the knife and scissors and then arrested him on suspicion of violating the Firearm and Sword Possession Control Law...
...the man apparently had posted derogatory comments about a member of an organized crime syndicate in an Internet chat room. After receiving a threatening phone call from the gangster, he decided he should kill himself at the observatory, the police quoted him as saying.

"I'll kill myself before anyone else can."
