2. Good. He sounds like a nutcase. I’m surprised he’s getting that much.

3. “According to the ruling, Ishibashi was enraged after being warned by Hagiyama about the way he had parked his car in an expressway parking area just before the incident.”

   Clearly premeditated. He should be put down, not fed and entertained at the taxpayer’s expense.

4. Japanese prisons are hellish. A friend was inside for about 8 months before being found innocent. 18 years is going to seem like 50.

5. Does anyone know if J-police act on camera footage of reckless and dangerous driving (where thanks to luck no harm was done)?
