More JT letter fun!

Different view of the police
Regarding the July 16 letter "Safe zone for child molesters": I found it
really strange that the Japanese police were not there to help the writer's
10-year-old daughter after she was assaulted in the Tokyo area. As far as I
know, Japanese police officers are really outgoing with foreigners.
Moreover, I always ask a police officer for help if am looking for an
unfamiliar place. One police officer, a few months ago, even walked 30
minutes with me to show me my destination! Maybe that's one reason why they
didn't report promptly to the scene of the incident involving the writer's
daughter; perhaps they were helping some foreigner. If that were true, then
more police officers should be hired.
Not only do we need to watch out for perverted Japanese men with their
penises out of their pants, but following the killing and intended
molestation of the 4-year-old boy in Nagasaki by a 12-year-old, we also need
to be aware of the students in our classrooms. As an English teacher, I
definitely look at my students in a different way since that incident. I
mean they're great students, but you can never tell what's running through
their minds.

She must be kin to Eric.

Some would say they are *too* outgoing with foreigners. But I'm not
one of them.

This must be a female.

What a dumbass.

Japan already has about 250,000 on the payroll. Instead of wishing for
more cops, the writer should wish for more cops to be moved out of
desk jobs at (usually) prefectural headquarters and into police boxes.
Some prefectures have about 1/3 of their personnel holding down desks
at prefectural headquarters.

Speak for yourself, bitch. Do you assume that everybody who reads that
rag has a classroom?

Gosh....Just like every other human on the planet!
