| Context is everything. I'd like to know what the Japanese guy was saying and if he was one of the black van ultra-nationalist crew. Given some of the comments in English, it has something to do with the highly emotive issue of the Korean diaspora in Japan and the racial resentment which they face from the locals. |

Almost all the writing is Kanji which I've completely forgotten. Anyone know what it says?
And, yes, context is everything.
Many cultural, racial groups dont get along.
Koreans and Japanese.
Japanese and Chinese.
Koreans and Chinese.
South Koreans and North Koreans.
Americans and Canadians.
Winnepeg people and Medicine Hat people.
Alaskans and the rest of the planet.
Dogs and Cats.
Aussies and New Zealanders.
Scots and the Irish.
Scots and the Brits.
Scots and the Welsh.
Scots and other Scots.
Scots and themselves.

| Ah, I went back for a second view and now it has been taken down, thats a shame. He actually was just acting like any drunken ajoshi you see any nite of the week, nothing special about it....except it was not in Korea and the police actually took him away. |

Just need to correct a few UK things if you don't mind...
Scots and the Irish. Wrong; they get on.
Scots and the Brits. Paradox; Scottish are also Brits.
Scots and the Welsh. Wrong; we get on.
Scots and other Scots. True; pure violence.
Scots and themselves. True; bad diet, alcohol/heroin/meths/night nurse abuse.
The clanger here is that you forgot to mention the English.
Welsh and English don't really get on that well; Welsh resent the English, the English think the Welsh are funny/stupid.
Scots and English; Scots hate the English, English are annoyed at the Scots for hating them.
Irish and English. Bombs, 'nuff said. |

Dead on really, the English don't care that they are hated by the rest of the British Isles, we know that jealousy makes people bitter. |

| The police were average at best in handling that situation. That guy should be restrained and put in handcuffs much earlier. The politician should have also been taken away along with the video footage to piece together evidence and/or possible motivation for the attack. Can't believe there were four cops lightly restraining the dude when they all had cuffs and it would have been much easier if they slipped the cuffs on first and asked questions back at the station. Still they weren't as inept as the cops here so that's one thing. |
