Its unthinkable but someone else got stabbed here in Akihabara just 20 minutes ago.

I went out for lunch with 2 co workers and we went for some curry, finished that, came back and 10 minutes after that, a student comes in and tells us a cop has been stabbed down the street.

I go back out and find the place where it happened and it was right next door to where the 3 of us were eating!!! Holy mother or God...

It turns out an otaku ( or Akiba geek ) was carrying a knife the size of the shorter version of a katana - a wakizashi - in his bag and some of us here know that these kids do that to protect themselves from muggings by thugs who roll the kids for their cash.

So police are searching bags of the kids to see if theyre packing blades or worse.

Turns out one cop ended up knowing how it feels as well.

What i dont get is that after seeing the knife, the cop ASKS the guy to hand it over...which the guy did and then left it in him...

Its screwed up...you never know if and by who your going to get stabbed around this place lately and whats even more screwed up, the idiot was carrying this weapon around only a couple of weeks after that major shitstorm stab session blew through the city..

I think ill start thinking about a different career path...

Jap cops carry guns !! Well they do in Hokkadio..talking about cops the cop presence here for the G8 summit is off the richter. Literally all gaijin coming into Chitose airport are being subjected to body and luggage search by plain clothes cops. Theres cops every where here at the moment, sure doesnt feel like friendly japan thats for sure.

I nearly ran a cop down tonight. There doing these mass road side stops checking cars and practicing in case of terrorists.

I was driving along, lights started to change to red when about 30 cops jumped out into traffic with stop signs..I had to lock up to not run this idiot over.

Supposedly they arrested a heap of people related to the akihabara stabbing..

TOKYO —

In the 16 days since the June 8 stabbing rampage in Tokyo’s Akihabara area, police arrested or took other actions against 17 people for posting claims on the Internet including expressing intent to commit mass murders or other crimes, a survey by the National Police Agency showed Tuesday.

Subjected to the actions were men and women aged 13-30, according to the agency. Of the 17, the police across Japan arrested 12, while sending papers to prosecutors on or taking other actions against the remaining five on charges such as extortion, interference or misdemeanor.

The crime declarations posted by those arrested on the Internet included such messages as ‘‘I would imitate the Akihabara incident’’ and ‘‘I would commit a mass murder that would become history.’’

But on a more important note.....

diff carreer as in getting out of aki or japan altogether? what do you do anyways?

did anyone chase the guy down? jap cops dont carry guns do they? its only detectives or those sorts right?

Im a University lecturer by trade, right in the heart of Akiba.

The stabbings took place literally on my doorstep. Many of the students are spooked by this activity and rightfully so, they dont want to be next.

For it to happen to a cop, where cops in Tokyo carry loaded weapons, just adds to the feeling that, well, even if you are a cop and still get stabbed, what hope do you have as an ordinary citizen.

Thats why im glad ive been training in muay thai for the last few months - i consider the weapons defense techniques as a bonus thrown into my training, lol.

In fact, the murder rate would seem to be very low in Japan.

A search of websites provided the following information. The statistics came from an American site that didn't appear to be promoting Japan as a safer place than it actually is.

Murder rate per capita from 62 countries listed:

No. 1. Colombia. 0.617847/1000 people.

No.43. Australia. 0.0150324/1000 people.

No.60. Japan. 0.00499933/1000 people.

As with all stastics, be careful how they're interpreted. However, Japan seems to have a well deserved reputation for being safe.

its is a much more honest country compared to western countries overall . However as always there a re a few people who ruin it / something from someone / everyone.

If a crime happens here eg a stabbing / murder etc etc it is usually very horriffic, mind astonishing , down right out of this world disgusting, sick to your back teeth ,,, i think you get the idea.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The trouble with phone apps is that they really do not know the sensitivity of the mic on each specific phone, whether there is some sort of cover or skin that can change that, etc etc. So the readings off them are not calibrated. You certainly couldn't be sure that you were even within 3 dB. I have the same app on two (actually more than that) different phones/tablets and the readings in the same room at the same time are never the same. I don't mind the apps - they are as useful as a dyno - if you're testing for delta from thing1 to thing2. But not to try to generate some sort of absolute value.

      I'm gonna use the "Sound Meter" app from the Google Play Store and as close as I can bother to these procedures: 4. TEST METHOD FOR ALL VEHICLES EXCEPT PRE ADR83 IN-SERVICE GOODS VEHICLES AND OMNIBUSES 4.1 Microphone position 4.1.1 The microphone shall be directed towards the orifice of the exhaust outlet and shall be supported by a tripod or similar device not providing excessive acoustic reflection. The general requirements for positioning microphones are shown in the Appendix. 4.1.2 The nominal axis of maximum sensitivity of the microphone shall be substantially parallel to the test site surface and shall make an angle of 45 degrees ±10 degrees with the principal direction of gas flow from the exhaust. 4.1.3 In selecting the 45 degree alignment from the outlet of a motor vehicle fitted with two or more outlets, only the angle resulting in the microphone being farthest from any other outlet must be used. National Stationary Exhaust Noise Test Procedures for In-Service Motor Vehicles Page 3 4.1.4 The height of the microphone above the test site surface shall be equal to that of the orifice of the exhaust outlet ±25mm but shall not be less than 200mm above the test site surface. 4.1.5 The distance of the microphone from the exhaust outlet orifice shall be 500mm±25mm. 4.1.6 [Relates to vertical exhaust outlets] 4.1.7 For vehicles fitted with one exhaust outlet the microphone shall be placed so that the greatest possible distance is achieved between it and the vehicle. 4.1.8 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] 4.1.9 [Relates to multi exhaust outlets] TLDR: 200mm off ground 45 degree angle relative to exhaust flow 500mm from tailpipe exit. (I probably won't use a tripod) Here's a photo, cause I read the instructions wrong myself.

      No ABS, no TCS, no airbags, no cruise control, no lane departure assist, no emergency brake assist, no orange lights in the mirrors (continuously annoying me in multi-lane traffic), no stupid rear view camera. I am the one responsible for where my car goes and how it does it.

      Probably best way would be using a proper dB / SPL meter lol Buy one and ship it from state to state to have a consistent test device lololol
