Internecine Society

Victims of murders in Japan are always the weak people in society. They typically are women, children, or sometimes foreigners. As guppies or crayfish eat each other in small aquarium, Japanese people are living on so small land that they cannot coexist together. It is not about natural selection, but building a cooperative community. However, political leaders have been making social division bigger.

A man of forty-three years old was arrested in Yokosuka city on Saturday in the act of murder of a woman of twenty-two years old, who was former close acquaintance of him. When policemen arrived at the site, the man was mounting on her and repeatedly piercing her body with scissors. She changed her address after he committed violence on her. City office classified her record of residence to protect her from his further violence. However, it is hard for a woman to hide herself in this small society. In one case in Zushi city two years ago, a worker of city office was arrested with suspect of providing a man with information of a woman, causing a murder.

Another woman in Sapporo city was found dead last month. It was weeks after she was missed around her home in a midnight. Police indicated that she was abducted by car in the dark and killed somewhere else. The criminal has yet been captured. Women are physically weak and easy to coerce for male murderers.

Kids are far softer target for killers regardless male or female. A woman of thirty-two years old was arrested with a suspect of violence against her three-year-old daughter. The daughter, actually a girl between her husband and his ex-wife, was dead after the violence. The criminal woman told police that she was frustrated with the girl and pushed and laid her down on the floor.

Murders on children occur with parents’ inability of raising kids. Small children sometimes found dead with starvation, because the parents refused feeding. Yomiuri newspaper reported on Friday that there were four hundred and eighty-three children left alone and in jeopardy of their lives these three years until this March. Raising kids became a hard work for low-income families.

A victim woman of reckless driving through sidewalk in downtown Ikebukuro on Tuesday was found to be a Chinese woman working for a Chinese restaurant. The driver was addicted to drug that was not illegal and confused when he was driving car that hit pedestrians. Although foreigners are not apparent target of killers, eccentric conservative hate speakers scream “Kill Koreans and Chinese” at demonstration on street. It is not strange that more social oppression to foreigners appears, if political relationship is further deteriorated.
