there were two news i saw which i thought very strange to me.
1. a drunken college student grabbed a woman and jumped off to a train track in tokyo.
well as a news it's not strange, but the outcome was very strange i thought. guess who apologized at the press conference? the university which the suspect belongs to. i believe this will not happen in any other country but japan.
how could the university be responsible to this individual's account? as i mentioned before, japanese society is very collective. when a minor or student does some criminal activity, not their parents, but school the youth belong speak for them in public.
2. a tv personnel is questioned by police by holding a hunting rifle on a tv show.
he just held a rifle to check how heavy it was on a tv show and is being questioned for an account of violating the firearm control law. just let you know, in japan you need a permit to hold an firearm. i think there are a lot more issues that police should pay attention to...
