1. Lol don’t squash the bread in Japan new fear unlocked. I wonder if she had paid for the bread would she been detained.

2. The police should be embarrassed for this.

   I’d also admonish the newspaper for even reporting it, but it’s the initial arrest that should be questioned here, not the women.

3. Usually, that is not the whole story.

4. Lmao.. arrested over 181 yen. Waste of our taxes.

5. They released her mugshot too:

6. I tend to believe the store owner and police wouldn’t have gone through with this unless it was more serious than it seems. And I definitely believe a journalist would sensationalize a story before getting the details down.

   There have been a lot of stupid TikTok trends lately of people messing with food at stores. Japan had several high profile cases of sushi staff throwing fish in the trash and what not a few years ago. That surely has store managers a lot more vigilant now than in the past. It doesn’t say this woman was doing that, but if she was I doubt the comment section here would look the same.

7. puchi puchi plastic addiction leads to horrendous outcomes
