      I see where you're coming from but it could also be a tactic thing. Like he knew if he wouldn't do the procedures the guy would've probably go to another surgeon and get work done there - maybe without before and after pictures.
      On one hand it was smart. The man felt safe while the surgeon gave the photos to the police so they actually were ahead of him without him knowing.
      On the other hand I'm pretty sure that surgeries on your face wouldn't be done without anesthetization so he should have just called the cops instead of doing work and letting him leave???
      So yes, he could just be a greedy asshole. But it could also be the case that he tried to do a "smart move" I guess 🤷‍♀️

      Ya, Id say it's less about her kindness and more about her street smarts, or lack of. Her ignorance to the ugly world around her made her not consider the idea of someone who could be a predator.
      Sadly in her case, biking to her home aka leading him to her home was mistake number one since now he knows where you live and mistake number 2, going into his house. She barely knew the guy and was enticed by the money offer, truth is if the guy was going to give her the money she could of waited in the cab or waited outside for him to come out. If he didn't come out , the just accept that you aren't getting the money.
      It's just a shame that lapse in judgements such as the temptation of a paycheck are enough for people to make a mistake that would end up costing their lives. If you ever have a bad vibe about someone, never follow them to a locale that would leave you defensless.

    So, I am NOT blaming Lindsey for what happened to her, I want to make a different point. In case you ever find yourself being followed, under no circumstances do you go directly home. This is the worst thing you can do. What you do instead is to first try and lose the person yourself and if that doesn't work, you immediately contact the authorities. They will not be able to arrest the person in most cases but they will be able to hold them for a certain amount of time which then allows you to leave safely.
    You still might want to avoid going home directly. Maybe visit a museum or something like that, anything public that has a entrance fee and cameras is good.
    After you reach home safely, make a detailed note of what happened, what the person looked like and such. Share it with family and friends.
    For the next couple of weeks, avoid the place of the encounter under all circumstances or never visit the place alone. Make sure somebody is with you and never take a direct route to that place or from it back home.

This is what the death penalty is for: To keep the innocent safe. Also justice, to get rid of the evil from the midst. Why should the murderer be allowed to breathe and continue living when the victim had her life cut short so horribly?

      @@jamesmaier5544 4H i think. The first 2 came, then waited 1H for 5 more to come, and 3 more hours for the last 2 ^^. Japan has this culture of shame, that says that even if you are innocent, you tend to recognize everything and just submit. Hese public apologizies for anything and everything are really something. They hated Carlos Gohsn because he ran away without taking responsability (whether he was guilty or not was irrelevant). They do not prosecute everyone they put under arrest, but there is a 98% ratio of people convicted if they do end up prosecuted in Japan. Trials are just formalities. The inquiry is what determines your culpability rather the trial, and you have no right to have an attorney before the trial. So, they will try to make you say you are culprit by all means possible. Remember the taxi. He thought that everything had to be fine, or maybe, convinced himself that it was not his problem and tried to avoid any kind of trouble for himself. Before the guy in the video said that he left, i already knew for sure he would leave within minutes. It was obvious. There is always this idea that "it must be nothing". I bet they never really expected anything going on, and even if something did, it was nothing big. Probably the policemen never saw more than petty theft in all their years in the Police. There are reasons why they don't have guns. Well, but now, even in Europe, our Police don't always have guns. So, there are all kinds of little differences in Japan that contribute to explain this fiasco, and i must say, i didn't expect things to unfold any differently.

    We are quick to victim blame, but forget that the average human can fall for any psychological trick. We see this and think “I would never fall for that.” But a lot of us would. I have lived in Japan, and I now live in Korea. The cultural differences are very very different to pick up on and students studying abroad are constantly wondering if it’s a culture thing or a personality thing.
    -A man followed me the other night while walking home from the station before speaking to me. I was able to get rid of him, but circled the streets to be safe. Was he a pervert? A possible serial killer? Just being nice? I will never know.
    -I am currently tutoring a man who approached me in a bookstore and I agreed because the extra cash is very convincing. We only meet in public and he seems nice enough. But he could have very well been another Tatsuya.
    In Japan I was more risky. I put trust into men I met on Tinder I shouldn’t have. One tried to take advantage of me and another stole my wallet. I now understand how risky my behaviors were and how much danger I was constantly putting myself in. I could have been killed.
    Anyway, my point is. Don’t victim blame. The human condition is overwhelmingly predictable

You can also look at research done on involuntary celibates and aggressive behavior.

He proceeded to apologize for the fake photos and shmoozing about how he did it to just get a chance with someone as beautiful as me. Told me he served the military for over 10 years and loved to cook. He asked me if we could go back to his apartment so we could get his wallet to pay for the food... I paid for the food and secretly texted my sister to call me and say I needed to leave as an emergency. After the date I blocked him on everything and for several weeks he went on to make fake profiles asking what he did wrong and begging to meet up again. His final message showed his true colors as he cursed me out and said women like me don’t deserve to walk the Earth. I whole heartedly believe if I were to go to his apartment that day he would have muddled me or kidnapped me.

    I remember this happening at the time as I only lived 9 miles from her home address in Brandon Coventry U.K. Goes to show that something like this can happen to anyone anywhere, but when it’s close to home it’s even more shocking. She had her whole life ahead of her and to loose her life in this manner was incomprehensible. It’s her family that had to bear the brunt of this and try to continue with their own lives after what happened. How they did I will never know. Being a mum myself I’m not sure I could go on without one of them missing then finding out the consequences, I would want to die along with them. You should never out live any of your children, that is not how the sequence should ever be. My eldest son is now 35, born in 87, Lindsay would have been 38 this year and presumably a mother herself if the course of events hadn’t have happened.

      "Only"? That does not justify their crimeS (because its PLURAL), especially unlawful debt collection. Also, we should not glorify the culture of impunity, that does not make them good people. Crimes are crimes and should be sanctioned by the state's respective laws if we want to make a society that is livable and safe for everone. Plus, if these crimes are "rarely PROSECUTED", then the state itself sabotages
      the safety of the people whom it swore to protect as mandated by its constitution. I mean really... if I were a resident of a specific country where the culture of impunity thrives, I would not feel safe and would want to leave as soon as possible.

    I lived in Japan and worked for the same company as Lindsay when this happened. The police were absolutely useless and there is no way he wasn’t assisted by his parents while on the run. It’s very taboo to be outside barefoot and that was always a point that annoyed me. He would have been VERY obvious and he should never have got as far as he did. There was somewhat a mentality amongst my students and Japanese people around me in general that it was kind of understandable that he did it as she was so beautiful and she did go back to his house. The general belief being that he just wanted to rape her and killed her in accident. It was a really shitty time and I felt really unsupported by the company and unsafe in general after seeing how people reacted. The perpetrator has a fan club and is fetishised by some women in Japan. I hope he rots in hell.

      If Issei Sagawa killed and cannibalized a white woman due to his severe obsession with white women and Japan failed to imprison him for life...is this then any wonder? He's old and helpless now but he has had decades free. In those decades since he had no access to white women anymore, he was forced to shift his interest to japanese women. So, imagine. They let that live free. They can thank their lucky stars that he didn't snap and attempt to hurt a japanese woman. He had a prior r*pe charge too of another white woman. He wanted to cannibalize her also. She fought him off. But not to worry. His rich daddy made that one go away too.
      They'd prioritize trash on the street before they'd prioritize women's safety and dignity. And they're not unique in that regard.

      By rehabilitated, they most likely meant inserted into the workforce. Not like released with a firm warning and a slap on the wrist. Even if he should be deemed rehabilitated, his life would still probably remain hell, working from a lower security prison or under extra strict monitoring and sanctions.

    Thanks Adrian for the Vietnamese coffee clip. This one was scary. The fact that this guy ran all the way to her house is crazy!

One thing that I am learning from all these cases is always trust your INSTINCTS.

      I had the worst gut instinct when I used to work as a lab technician and happened to be alone in the laboratory one evening (and at that time there's pretty much no one in any of the lab rooms). a man came in to use our equipment but even after being finished with the analysis he stood there. I couldn't see him bc I was facing away from him (doing my own thing) but I felt the worst feeling, I felt threatened. I quickly remembered "always trust your gut instinct" and stopped what I was doing and almost ran from the laboratory room. next week, same day, same hour, he showed up again but this time I was not alone and that was actually my last week developing my project there. I still don't know if I was in actual danger but I do feel like I was, bc I never felt anything like that, my body was screaming "run"
