Old and dangerous...

Photobucket
So, what do you see in this picture? While most of you may see a sweet old lady, ripe with old age with a pocket full of candies to give to small kids, what her face is really showing is...

"Don't mess with me punk, or I'll beat the shit outta you!!"

All of us young, healthy and strong people have been taking the old for granted. Just because they are old, we automatically assume that they are harmless little angels with saggy wrinkles and head full of white hair....how wrong we are!!

The reality would be that Japanese old folks mostly dye their hair purple and they are far from harmless!!

Recently, Japan's crime rate have been rising....and, believe it or not, most of it(more than 60%) are caused by old folks. Yes, old people have been terrorizing the streets of Japan, especially in big cities like Tokyo. I know...it sounds nonsensical that old folks here manage to achieve what terrorist like Osama bin Laden failed to do in Japan.
Retirement must be hard on them....poor retired folks, they must have gotten so bored that they decided to do crime for fun. Either that or that they are taking their revenge at the young ones. Jealous at us being so youthful and skin as smooth as pearls...or whatever you use to compare smoothness with.

But no, of course that's not the real reason why old folks are making police officers busy..

Autumn is approaching fast, and that means the weather is getting colder. Homeless folks like the guy in the picture faces long, cold, cruel nights sleeping out on the streets. So, they commit crime so that the police arrests them and lock them up. In prison cells, they get heat, food and security...all the things that they wished for when they are out in the streets. While most commit petty crimes like shoplifting and eating without paying, some go to great lengths such as stabbing and slashing at random pedestrians to guarantee that they get a long stay in prison cells.

Once, A 78-year old lady was arrested for slashing two pedestrian. When asked why she did it, she said that if she got convicted and sent to jail, she can spend the cold winter comfortably with ease. She actually smiled when she was sentenced 3 months jail...

With poor plans for the old folks, more is committing crime and prisons in Japan is turning into old folks home. It's kinda sad reading this on the papers...country as advanced as Japan would have problems such as this.

So, the next time you are out on the streets, ignore the spiky hair, blonde mohican style hair, young looking gangsters.....you'd want to beware of saggy lines and hunchbacks. If you see any old folks smiling kindly at you, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! Worst, if any old lady smile AND wave at you...RUN AND SCREAM FOR YOUR LIFE!!!!

I think not much old folks would do this. Even they do this most probably bcos of the surrounding that force them to be one. Everyone want a happy life! No one wants to be like that!

Well, we don't see a lot of this in Nagaoka. The old here survive pretty well by farming...

>Stevelee
Of course the ones committing crime are minority...but then again, my blog is never without exaggeration, right?

>MayC
Well, my statistics are based on what I read on the local papers...so, I guess I'm probably right.

>Ns29
Haha...there you go folks, an angel to tame a devil like me.

>Maye
Yeah, of course everyone wants a happy life....but bad retirement planning from both self and the government led to this. As you know, youth population in Japan is decreasing, which means more old folks roaming the streets and well, what you read above happens...

>sakura
Quite true...kesian, but that doesn't mean that they can cause grief to other people to comfort themselves.
I'd help an old lady carry her bags anytime, BUT if I see one rushing at me with a knife, I won't hesitate to kick the false teeth out of her mouth...

+.+ i didn't know old people live such interesting lives... what caused most me to think is that 78 year old granma who attacked people... how much strength does she have? and based on the 3 months sentence which is exactly right for her... i think she really thought it out better than most idiotic young people do... so i'll support you and stay away form old japanese people

Well, let's hope the same sad thing happen in Russia as well.

Correct me if I'm wrong but most old folks there prefer to get drunk rather than cause any crime, right?

>Li Yin
Aww...you miss my comments. hehe..

The last time I tried leaving something, I was asked to register. And I'm always skeptic at website that asks for you to register for petty things...so...

Anyway, congratz on your success!!

>Ganeindran
Hmm....keep in mind that these only happen in big cities, and, like Steve Lee said, only minorities cause this. So, please don't avoid old people/be rude to them/give them angry stares now.. (^_^;

Hope I don't send out the wrong influence..

BTW, knifes are equally sharp in the shaky hands of the old as in young strong chaps like us. Knifes edge don't discriminate...
