  3. I hope this doesn’t cast a dark shadow on the long history of Sunshine City.

  4. I read that she went to the police to discuss someone stalking her before this happened. I am saddened.

  5. People will call it mental illness but these violent cowards are also misogynists, which is why they always seem to target young women and girls who can’t fight back.

  7. “Before Thursday’s incident, police had received complaints from a person, believed to be the deceased woman, over alleged stalking, The Asahi Shimbun newspaper ⁠reported.”

    Tale as old as time.

  8. Mental health check is so important. I don’t know how easy it is to access it, but maybe it would have prevent the lost of a beautiful life. It needs to be talk more I feel

  9. Japanese police are absolutely terribel when it comes to dealing with predators or stalkers. You will get better results from asking a police of any 3rd world country rather than Japanese police.

    There are even cases of Japanese police laughing off Grape Victim’s.

    The more we STFU about this the more the government will ignore the issue.

  11. Sadly make mental illness is a real problem in Japan that gets overlooked as it is shameful. And boo to the police who did nothing. 

  12. Typical story: woman is being stalked, police’s hands are tied, stalker kills woman. Happens all the time in the US, too. Stalking is one of the most terrifying things that can happen to you. Even restraining orders are just a piece of paper. I can’t even imagine what I would do in such a situation; I would feel like I need to enact violence on the stalker first to protect myself.

  13. I see the police did exactly what they do best: jack fucking shit.

    Actually, they probably stopped a random gaijin to card them.
