 Perhaps it was the work of a disgruntled citizen. There are traces of eggs thrown at the store entrance. This is a pharmacy in Beijing.

 This pharmacy was selling 10 masks for the exorbitant price of approximately 13,000 yen.

In response to this incident, the Beijing Municipal Government imposed a fine of approximately 48 million yen on the pharmacy.

 According to Chinese media, this is the maximum fine allowed under the law.

 As the novel coronavirus pneumonia outbreak continues, masks are selling out in China, and some stores are selling them at inflated prices, fueling public discontent.

 "Try not to speak Japanese on your way to school."

 Chinese students protesting the release of treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant have been throwing stones and making prank calls at Japanese schools in China.

 In China, where protests over the release of treated water from the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant are growing, Japanese schools across the country have been hit by incidents of stones and eggs being thrown. Japanese schools are scrambling to respond by stepping up security.

 This morning, staff in front of a Japanese school in Shanghai were tightening security.

 According to a source, a Chinese man was spotted yelling at students on their way to school on August 25th. Following the release of treated water into the ocean, Japanese schools have sent emails to parents urging caution.

 "I make my child not speak Japanese on the way to school. I also try not to travel far and have him only run errands around the apartment building."

 Japanese schools across the country have been receiving a series of silent and harassing phone calls.

 In addition, stones were thrown at a Japanese school in Qingdao, Shandong Province. Eggs were also thrown at a Japanese school in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province.

 The Japanese Embassy has requested the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs to punish the perpetrators and take measures to prevent recurrence. (However, the Chinese Communist Party government has ignored the issue without taking any measures.)

 On August 27, the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a warning to people planning to travel to or stay in China not to speak Japanese unnecessarily.

Egging in Korea …Ⅱ 〜〜 Political protest in Asian direct democracy

 R. Dahl included postwar Japan in the category of "polyarchy" countries, but from the perspective of a Japanese person who has lived in Japan for a long time, appearances aside, the reality is a world that differs from a "polyarchy."

 Dahl views the concept of "polyarchy" not as "democracy" itself, but as a tool for analyzing the process of approaching a real democratic system. Dahl argues that the establishment and maintenance of a "polyarchy" is influenced by many factors, including historical conditions, socioeconomic order, cultural factors, and the "convictions" of political activists. "Polyarchy" is a unique analytical concept and is distinct from the functional concept of "democracy." However, it is now also used as a measure of the stage of development of political democracy.

 From the perspective of "democracy," Japan has fundamentally changed little since Karel van Wolferen published "Japan: The Enigma of Power Structures" (a time when revisionism was popular). 

 When Prime Minister Suga resigned (and handed over power) a few years ago, and the recent process leading to the birth of the Takaichi administration after "removing Ishiba" completely differed from Western-style "democracy."  The same could be said of "the Nakasone Saitei (or adjudication, judgement, arbitration, ruling, decision...etc. It is a political phenomenon unique to LDP politics and cannot be translated into Western languages. According to Shintaro Ishihara's writings (comments published in a magazine about former Prime Minister Noboru Takeshita) written after Takeshita's death, it was discovered much later that money had been donated from Takeshita Noboru's side (successor Prime Minister) to Prime Minister Nakasone's side.) and the Shiina Saitei (Shiina Etsusaburo was the Minister of Foreign Affairs at the time of the conclusion of the Treaty on Basic Relations between Japan and the Republic of Korea (the autobiography of the South Korean foreign minister, who was the South Korean counterpart, details the negotiation process for the treaty).). The same was true of Kanemaru Shin's sudden dismissal of Kaifu Toshiki (The then Prime Minister). The formation of the coalition government between the LDP, the Japan Socialist Party, and Sakigake Party (Murayama Administration) was a political collusion (Dangō) between the LDP and the left wing of the Socialist Party (The worst case of collusive politics leading to the worst prime minister).

 In Japanese politics, such cases have been repeated endlessly to this day (I will not go into detail about these events here.).

 Japan's ruling parties are still dominated by hereditary politicians based on individual constituency-based businesses (Kōenkai, or support groups), and are far from what Maurice Duverger and others would call "modern political parties." 

 The only parties in Japan that could be called "modern political party" are the Japan Communist Party and the Komeito Party, but both are unique ideological parties (or religious parties) that are incompatible with democracy and are constantly plagued by internal conflict.

 Today, Japan's political party system has become what Giovanni Sartori calls a "polarized multi-party system," and is becoming increasingly unsound.

 Post-independence India was considered a "polyarchy," but under the current Modi administration it has become something akin to an authoritarian regime. While economic development has been remarkable, political freedom for non-Hindus, freedom of the press and freedom of expression and others appears to be declining.

 The Arab countries of the Middle East remain a mixture of medieval political life and a pseudo-advanced welfare state.

 Central Asian countries remain in chaos.

 Israel is difficult to assess.

 The situation in Southeast Asian countries is also well known.

 China and Russia are out of the question.

 Of the vast Asian nations, only two states—Taiwan and South Korea—have developed "democracy," though this is still qualified as "Asian."

 When Dahl published "Polyarchy," these two countries were not included in the list of "polyarchy" nations. South Korea had an authoritarian regime close to a military dictatorship, and its government changed following the assassination of its president. Taiwan continued to be under the dictatorial regime of Chiang Kai-shek and his son, Chiang Ching-kuo.

 However, these two countries have now become a beacon of hope for democracy in Asia, setting an example of democracy for other Asian countries.

 What does this mean? How should we understand this situation?

 It seems pathetic to me, but at present, compared to Japan, South Korea is more advanced in developing practical democracy at the citizen level. I am not a supporter of either of South Korea's two major political parties, and have no vested interest in them, but it is certain that South Korea's active direct democratic citizen-level activities are generating political dynamism at the national level.

 Like candlelight vigils, political egging is conducted as a form of political protest, not as a form of public participation in the public policy decision-making process, and therefore differs in character from Western-style participative democracy.

 On the other hand, the protests are well-controlled. Participants throw nothing but eggs. They do not use Molotov cocktails or smoke bombs, nor do they pick up stones from their feet and throw them. They do not throw objects at people; rather, they throw raw eggs (purchased and prepared) all at once, toward the banner.

 Although this method is a bit crude, participants influence the course of real national politics by sharing an opportunity for citizens to unite and express their opposition to the political situation, separate from the opportunity to vote in elections. 

 In this way, participants self-generate, enhance, and share political empowerment, a sense of political accomplishment, and political self-affirmation. This creates political dynamism.

 Like the recent student demonstrations in Hong Kong, this direct action, in which active citizens express their solidarity and opposition to political injustice in public spaces, could be seen as similar to the Occupy movement in Europe and the United States.

 Such direct action can be a driving force for the development of democracy.

 It can currently be said that Hong Kong, Taiwan, and South Korea are playing leading roles in democracy in Asia.

【South Korea】 Candlelight rallies have spread to the ruling Saenuri Party. Demonstrators are throwing eggs en masse. [12/05]

 On the afternoon of the 3rd, during the sixth candlelight rally calling for President Park Geun-hye's resignation, a banner hanging at the ruling Saenuri Party headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, reading, "Dear citizens, we are deeply sorry. We will resolve the national affairs as soon as possible," was hit with eggs thrown by demonstrators.

 At a rally held in front of the Saenuri Party headquarters prior to the evening candlelight vigil, the moderator called out, "We cannot forgive the Saenuri Party for trying to vote against the impeachment of President Park Geun-hye," and demonstrators hurled eggs at them en masse.

 Some of the demonstrators also performed a spectacle by ripping down an 8m x 15m banner that read, "Saenuri Party: Accomplice in Park Geun-hye's interference in state affairs." The candlelight vigils, which had previously been held around Gwanghwamun Square in Seoul, have now turned their attention to the Saenuri Party as well, and have expanded to Yeouido.

 [South Korea] Eggs thrown at Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn...Police launch investigation [7/18]

1: ★＠＼(^o^)／: 2016/07/18(Mon) 03:34:29.44 ID:CAP_USER.net

 Police have launched an investigation into an incident in Seongju, North Gyeongsang Province, in which eggs and plastic bottles were thrown at Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn as he explained the reasons for the selection of candidate sites for the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system.

 On July 15, 2016, Prime Minister Hwang visited Seongju, North Gyeongsang Province, to persuade residents opposed to the THAAD deployment. However, residents attending the briefing violently hurled eggs and plastic bottles at Hwang.

 After being hit with a raw egg, Prime Minister Hwang fled to his car. However, residents surrounded his car, preventing him from moving for six hours.

 On July 16, police announced that they would form a dedicated investigation team at the North Gyeongsang Provincial Police Agency to track down those involved in the violent acts.

 A police official said, "We will investigate based on the collected evidence to determine whether the eggs and plastic bottles were dangerous and who the perpetrators were. We won't know which legal provisions apply until we continue our investigation."

 Even if the residents' actions were intended to criticize the government, they constitute "violence using a tool," and punishment is expected to be inevitable.

 There have been numerous cases in the past of prime ministers, former presidents, and presidential candidates being pelted with eggs.

 In 1991, during the Kim Young-sam administration, students pelted Jeong Won-sik with flour and eggs during his final lecture at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies before he became prime minister.

 At the time, a large number of Hankuk University of Foreign Studies students who participated in the incident were indicted and sentenced to prison for violating the law on the punishment of violent acts.

 According to China Youth Network on July 18, 2016, South Korean Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn visited Seongju County, North Gyeongsang Province, the site of the Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense system, on July 15, 2016, but was met with fierce criticism from local residents.

 According to South Korea's KBS TV, Prime Minister Hwang visited the area to explain the reasons for the THAAD deployment and the government's support policy for residents. However, upon the Prime Minister's arrival, local residents reacted with fierce opposition. Instead of providing an explanation, some residents yelled, "Who told you to deploy such a thing?" and threw raw eggs and plastic bottles at the Prime Minister.

 Approximately 3,000 local residents attended the briefing. Prime Minister Huang was protected by umbrellas provided by security guards and evacuated to the government building. The suit he was wearing was stained with egg.

 The car carrying the prime minister was then surrounded by residents, and he was unable to move.

Yaizu City: Fatal Assault Case: The deceased man was participating in a friend's birthday celebration.

https://www3.nhk.or.jp/lnews/shizuoka/20240516/3030023880.html

 Two suspects, ages 21 and 20, were arrested for allegedly throwing a 20-year-old man into the sea and killing him on a pier in Yaizu City in the early hours of May 15, 2024.

 The deceased man had come to celebrate a friend's birthday with classmates and people he met on social media.

Police are currently investigating the details of the incident.

 Suspects Masateru Matsuura (20) from Yaizu City and Kento Hayashi (21) from Fujieda City are both demolition workers. The two men were arrested by police on the evening of the 15th on suspicion of causing death by injury after they threw a 20-year-old man (a friend) from Shizuoka City into the sea at around midnight on the 15th from the pier of Iwashigashima in Yaizu City, resulting in his death.

 Police sent the two men to the prosecutor's office on the 16th.

 According to police, the deceased man was part of a group of about a dozen boys and girls aged between 17 and 21 who had come to celebrate a friend's birthday. Among them were high school classmates, people they had met on social media, and some strangers.

 When questioned by police, the two men initially explained that the deceased man had fallen on his own accord. However, they later admitted to their involvement in the incident.

 The deceased man was found submerged at the bottom of the sea with his clothes still on.

Police are currently investigating the details of the incident.

[Man at the scene: Testifies about the situation at the time]

 A 21-year-old man from Fujieda City, who was with the man at the time of the incident, testified about the situation at the time.

 According to the man, around 11:30 PM on the 14th, about 10 people who had met through social media and acquaintances gathered near the cliff where the incident occurred to celebrate a friend's birthday. They were playing around by throwing eggs and throwing ketchup at each other.

 Regarding the situation at the time, the man said, "I was talking with someone when I returned to the parking lot and heard a big splash, so I went toward the ocean to see what was going on. I saw three people, including the deceased man, in the water, having fun. One of the men's expressions changed rapidly, and he started saying things like, 'It's dangerous!' and 'Help me!' So we tried to help him, but he was in the water and wearing his clothes, so we couldn't save him."

 The man then told his friend to call the fire department. Firefighters performed a rescue operation and the man was found. However, the man was confirmed dead at the hospital where he was taken.

 According to the man, the deceased man was unable to swim. "I don't think he would have gone into the water on his own. I thought someone had done it. I think he probably did it impulsively at first, but the fun atmosphere escalated and something like this happened. I'm filled with remorse, regret, and sadness."

Egging in Japan …Part Ⅶ 〜New Type Egging！ ~(＾!＾) ~ Egg Throwing Contest!?

 Throw a boiled egg as far as possible without cracking it. ...The key to victory is flexible thinking.　〜〜Elementary School Egg Throwing Contest

1: ★: 2022/08/23 (Tue) 12:12:51.

https://www.sut-tv.com/news/data/17505/t-image.jpg

 An invention club in Mishima City, Shizuoka Prefecture, which offers hands-on classes to elementary school students to teach them the joy of craftsmanship, held a unique boiled egg throwing contest. The deciding factor was ideas born from flexible thinking.

◆ Flexible Thinking and Ideas

 On August 23rd, elementary school students gathered at a venue in Mishima City.

 28 students from 4th to 6th grade participated in the contest. It was called the "Egg Throwing Contest!"

 There were four main rules:

　- Throw a boiled egg as far as possible using any throwing technique.

　- If the boiled egg breaks, there is no record.

　- Using a single sheet of newspaper, glue, staples, etc., participants come up with ways to keep an egg from breaking.

　- Participants compete to see who can throw the farthest a boiled egg can land on the floor.

 In this contest, participants create a protective container (buffer) for an egg using a single sheet of newspaper, and then compete to see who can throw it the furthest without breaking it.

 The key to victory is flexibility and ingenuity in figuring out what kind of buffer to make to keep the egg from breaking with limited tools, and how to throw it.

Instructor:

 The idea isn't bad. However, throwing it wrapped up like this is difficult. How you throw it is important.

 The organizer, the Mishima Boys and Girls Invention Club, holds hands-on classes twice a month, and this contest was a special one held once a year. The instructors are people who used to work for manufacturers in eastern Fukushima, and they teach children the joy of making things.

Instructor:

 We want the children to learn by being taught something by someone outside of school. This time, I want you to learn about creativity and challenges by solving the given problem.

◆Learning from Failure

 Ms.Lino came up with the idea of ​​"Accordion Strategy," which involves repeatedly folding the newspaper used to wrap eggs. This idea aims to increase its strength and cushioning.

 How do we make it stronger? Accordion.

 Ms.Lino:

 I'll double it. But it seems pretty weak. I want to strengthen the non-accidental sides. Since newspaper is thin, I thought it would be difficult to make it stronger.

 After completing the first prototype and throwing it...it flew far enough, but the sound it made when it hit the ground made me realize how powerful the impact was.

2: ★: 2022/08/23 (Tue) 12:13:00.32 ID:CAP_USER.net[2/2]

 Ms.Lino learned that things don't always go as planned, so he made multiple prototypes and repeated trial and error in preparation for the real thing.

 Mother, Emi:

  Sometimes doing things exactly as in the textbook doesn't work, so I encourage my children to try different things, tinker with things, fail, and then think about what to do next.

 Lino:

  We'll try our best and try new things! Our goal is to win!

◆Let's compete with unique ideas!

 On the day of the competition, each team will use the ideas they brought to make their own cushioning material.

 One team used shredded newspaper as a cushion, while another wrapped eggs in accordion-shaped newspaper like the straw used to wrap natto.

 There were also a variety of ideas, such as leaving the eggs exposed and making a three-dimensional boomerang out of a long, thin stick.

 Rino combined a teammate's idea of ​​making a box out of newspaper with her own idea of ​​using accordion-shaped cushioning.

 The winning team recorded a height of 11.53 meters. The idea was to stuff small rolled-up pieces of newspaper into the gaps between the newspaper wrapping the egg, and miraculously, the egg didn't crack even once.

 Winning participant:

  If you use newspaper like a spring, the egg won't crack at all.

 Winning participant:

  It was fun, and I learned how to make an egg not crack.

 Lino narrowly missed out on winning, but he managed to keep his egg intact one of his two throws, setting a record of 5m 46cm.

Instructor:

 I think each team made something different, their method of making it, and their philosophy were all different. Everyone really tried their best, considering it was their first time.

 This contest taught the children the importance of innovation through repeated failure and success.

Perhaps it gave the children the motivation to use their ideas to try new things.

 By the way, the children apparently took the boiled eggs used in the contest home to eat.

There must be many poor children who would rather eat it than throw it.

Egging in Japan …Part Ⅵ 〜〜Egging attacks during the COVID-19 pandemic: Onslaught on the homeless by elite university students

 【Baseball】 Someone poured kerosene on the Ichiro Memorial Hall and threw instant noodles and raw eggs at it...the perpetrator said, "I wanted to make a mess."

1: 2020/04/15 (Wed) 08:33:44

 Since the end of last year, the Ichiro Memorial Hall "I-Fine," located in Toyoyama Town, Aichi Prefecture, the hometown of former Major League Baseball player Ichiro (46), has been the target of repeated incidents, including kerosene being poured on the area and raw eggs being thrown at it. The Aichi Prefectural Police and Nishibiwajima Police Station arrested an unemployed man (48) from Minami Ward, Nagoya, on suspicion of property damage in connection with the incidents. The arrest took place on March 25, 2020.

 According to police, the man is suspected of pouring kerosene on the mat at the entrance to the museum and throwing instant noodles and raw eggs at it at around 1:45 AM on December 8, 2019, and at around 11:40 PM on March 18 this year, defacing it.

 The man has admitted to the charges, saying he "wanted to deface the museum."

 The museum's representative, Ichiro's father, Suzuki Nobuyuki (77), filed a report of the incident with police.

 Security cameras at the museum captured footage of the man pouring liquid from what appeared to be a plastic container and throwing eggs. The man is said to have never met Ichiro or Nobuyuki.

 The museum opened in November 2000 and displays memorabilia related to Ichiro, including his baseball equipment.

 Nobuyuki said in an interview, "I'm glad the incidents have stopped. I'll be watching closely to see how the investigation progresses."

【Kagoshima】 Out-of-prefecture license plate. Eggs thrown at me. Even though it's a neighboring city with no confirmed cases.

1: Saturday, May 16, 2020, 8:09:40 PM

 Even across prefectural borders, we're all in the same community. Let's join hands and overcome this difficult situation.

 On May 15, 2020, the mayors of Minamata City, Kumamoto Prefecture, and Izumi City, Kagoshima Prefecture, which are located on the border between Kumamoto and Kagoshima Prefectures, where the state of emergency due to the spread of COVID-19 has now been lifted, issued a joint message. The background to this is said to be the tense atmosphere surrounding COVID-19 and the insensitive behavior of some Japanese people.

 The messages from the mayors of Minamata and Izumi emphasized, "While we are still being asked to refrain from non-essential travel across prefectural borders (even after the state of emergency is lifted), we understand that this does not mean we are being asked to refrain from activities that are essential to our lives, such as commuting to work or school, or shopping, which are essential for daily life." They called for unity among the citizens of both cities, saying, "As fellow residents of the same community, we can overcome this difficult situation by understanding, cooperating, and joining hands."

 Many residents regularly cross the prefectural border between the two cities for commuting to work or school, or shopping. As of that date, there have been no confirmed cases of COVID-19 in either city.

 However, according to Minamata city, earlier this month, before the state of emergency was lifted, they received information that "eggs were thrown at a car with Kumamoto license plates in the parking lot of a supermarket in Izumi city." A senior official in Minamata city told the Asahi Shimbun, "I heard that a shopper from Minamata was told by another customer at a (different) supermarket in Izumi city, 'People from Minamata, shop in Minamata city!' There are fewer infections in Kagoshima prefecture than in Kumamoto prefecture, so I think there is a difference in attitude."

 "We want to overcome this together, hand in hand, without being divided by the prefectural border," said the official, explaining the significance of the message.

 Both cities posted the message on their websites the same day.

【Kobe University】 A Kobe University student threw an egg at a homeless person, causing him to bleed. Video available.

1: 2020/06/22 (Mon) 03:41:31

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMe6EGy9szk&app=desktop

 It has been revealed that a male student enrolled at Kobe University threw a raw egg at a homeless person's face and posted the footage on Instagram.

 The student has received a job offer from Panasonic, a major electronics manufacturer. A photo of what appears to be the student's job offer ceremony was also posted on Instagram.

 After news of the violent incident spread online, including on 5channel (formerly 2channel), the male student quit Instagram.

 All data appeared to have been deleted, but videos, photos, screenshots, and other data were saved by other users as "evidence" and posted online.

 A male student at Kobe University wrote the following in the description of a video he posted on Instagram: "A 'scream' worthy of a boss to a scumbag sleeping in the middle of the night in a big city! He took a running start and threw a raw egg with all his might, hitting the homeless person directly in the face (mouth)! Blood was coming out of the homeless person's mouth! Incidentally, the homeless person didn't wake up!"

【Kumamoto】 A Kumamoto resident threw a raw egg, saying, "Don't bring coronavirus from outside the prefecture!"

[Sad News] A Kumamoto resident was like a native (primitive man) throwing eggs at cars with license plates from outside the prefecture!

 Egg-throwing perpetrator. "Don't bring COVID here!" Excessive vigilance leads to discrimination.

2020/6/23 11:00 (JST)

 "Don't bring COVID here from outside the prefecture!"

A raw egg was hurled at him, accompanied by an angry shout, and shattered against the rear window of a car.

 A 52-year-old office worker from Tosu City, Saga Prefecture, still recalls the scene.

 The man, originally from Mifune Town, was returning from a family funeral in mid-May 2020 after stopping at a convenience store in Yamaga City and was returning to his parked car with Saga license plates.

 The attacker was an elderly man on a bicycle. His wife and the man, who were inside the car, were stunned by fear and shock. "We tried to call the police, but were too scared to do so. We quickly left, not wanting to be victimized any further."

 Sudden, one-sided hostility in our hometown of Kumamoto.

 The victim recalled, "I was upset that they attacked us without even checking why we came from outside the prefecture."

【The infamous self-restraint police】 Why do the self-restraint police throw eggs at ordinary people but remain silent about nightclub owners (The YAKUZA)?

 Inquiries about discrimination and human rights violations related to the coronavirus are continuing to come in from within Kumamoto Prefecture.

 In many cases, strong vigilance against infection is a contributing factor, and government agencies responding to the situation are urging people to "base their words and actions on solid evidence and facts."

 A woman in her 20s from Kumamoto City was refused treatment at an osteopathic clinic in the city in May 2020, after being mistaken for a patient living in Tokyo.

 The woman was job-hunting. Her grandmother, who came with her, said, "My granddaughter has an interview in Tokyo..." When several employees heard this and started talking in the back, they told the woman, "We can't treat people from Tokyo!"

 Unable to contain her frustration and sadness, the woman left the clinic without receiving treatment.

 She responded calmly, thinking, "They were probably overreacting because of their growing fear and suspicion of the coronavirus."

 As of the 22nd, the Human Rights and Dowa Policy Division of public institutions in the prefecture had received 32 consultations regarding discrimination. In Kumamoto City, a total of 10 cases were reported to the Kumamoto City Human Rights Policy Division, Kumamoto City Public Health Center, and Kumamoto City Board of Education.

 Furthermore, discrimination complaints have been received by the Kumamoto District Legal Affairs Bureau and other organizations.

 A woman who was refused treatment expressed her hope that "people, including those who overreact, will be able to understand the feelings of victims."

◆Listening to the Voices of Those Involved

 An associate professor of sociology at Kumamoto Gakuen University said:

　Regarding COVID-19 discrimination, anxiety and fear about the invisible virus are leading to excessive vigilance toward visible infected people.

 The actions of the "self-restraint police" (Note: These are not actual police officers, but ordinary civilians, most of whom are unemployed elderly people at the bottom of society who are harboring frustration and feelings of inferiority. They are a group formed arbitrarily to thoroughly monitor neighbors and enforce self-restraint, calling themselves the "self-restraint police." They have no official character whatsoever.) are motivated by a distorted sentiment that "I will not tolerate people who engage in risk-increasing behavior while I am self-restraining!"

In Japan in particular, there is strong pressure to conform and mutual surveillance.

 If even medical workers and people engaged in economic activity are oppressed, the risk to society as a whole will increase.

 Imagining such a situation would require tolerance, but in reality, it is not easy to ask people to be tolerant of those around them.

【Yokosuka】 Six men and women threw raw eggs at a police station and a patrol car, creating excitement over the heroic tale of "rocket fireworks at the police station."

 According to the announcement, the six men were traveling on mopeds in the early hours of August 7, 2021, when they threw one raw egg at the window of the Kinugasa Ekimae Police Box, which is part of the police station, and at the right rear door of a patrol car waiting at a traffic light on National Route 16 in Miharu-cho, Yokosuka City. They also threw eight raw eggs at the entrance to the police station, disrupting its operations and obstructing the performance of official duties.

 The six men were friends. An unemployed man (21) from the same city had previously recounted a "heroic tale" of setting off a rocket firework at the police station and throwing raw eggs. Everyone got excited and ended up buying raw eggs at a supermarket near the police box.
