Yomiuri: Man assaults 2 women with umbrella in Tokyo
In two incidents Monday morning, a man hit two women with an umbrella in Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, breaking one woman's nose, police said. In the first attack, at about 11:05 a.m., a female company employee in her 20s was shopping at a FamilyMart convenience store near JR Shinjuku Station when she felt some water droplets fall on her back. When she turned around, a man hit her left shoulder with a plastic umbrella and fled. About three minutes later, on a street about 350 meters from the convenience store, a 25-year-old woman who was crossing a pedestrian crossing was hailed by a man whom she had just walked past. When she turned around, he hit her in the face with an umbrella breaking her nose. The Metropolitan Police Department is investigating the incidents as suspected cases of aggravated assault and believes the attacks were committed by the same person. According to a senior MPD official, the man is thought to be in his 20s or 30s and about 170 centimeters tall. He was wearing a T-shirt and jeans.

How long can we wait till the authorities wake up and do something about it? I say ban umbrellas today, before it's too late.
The least the can do is blaming it on the gaijin, or the boogie - Whatever comes first.

And let me guess... black hair and brown eyes. We really narrowed down the suspect here.

Time to have them all registered with random checks on the street.

A Diet committee somewhere is already drawing up a new Firearms, Swords and Umbrella Law.

What will they do next? Ban cocktail umbrellas?

Umbrellas should have IC Chips installed for tracking purposes.
