【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."

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.

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."
1 ★: 2021/11/13 (Sat) 14:00:52.
On November 12, 2021, the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Yokosuka Station and the Prefectural Police Juvenile Investigation Division referred six men and women aged 14 to 21 from Yokosuka City and Kanagawa Ward, Yokohama City, to the Yokosuka Branch of the Yokohama District Public Prosecutors Office on charges of intimidation, obstruction of business, and obstruction of public duties for throwing raw eggs at the police station building and a patrol car.
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.
