What the hell is going on in this country. Why are so many young people out of control. They seem to be on a razors edge just ready to crack. Its a little bit scary. Now this poor 8 year old will be afraid to greet anybody for fear of getting smacked around.

They're messed up, hey. How about that guy with the box cutter, making that girl spit into the bottle!? OMG. The police should declare open season on these freaks. I mean seriously, I see these guys every day going to work, hanging out at the stations, mumbling to themselves, and I wish I could beat the living daylights out of them without getting into trouble. Does anybody see any cops on the beat ever? On foot I mean, not buzzing around in their little daihatsus?

Very sad event indeed. Poor kid.

Funny thing is, if a young boy or a group of boys, Said "Hello Mister" in the UK or Ireland, you would be watching if the little fuck was carrying a knife.

I went to collage in a very rough place in the UK. Even while in Japan I am still a bit weirded out when boys say hello. Especialy the sporty type in saitama. They shave their heads in solidarity. I know that this is Japan, but it does sometimes result in a fight or fligh instinct for the mst innocious things.

Though even my girlfriend said that pois in tokyo are far to girly and take care of their hair to much to ever be in fight.
