Man, the Saikyo line is seriously like the old west.
I'm on that train everynight after work, and it seems as if the craziest of the crazies are on there.
Que Ozzy's 'Crazy Train.'
The groping is so bad that in the during heavy commute hours during the morning and evening hours, there are seperate cars for women only. Recently, there have been 'gang gropings' going on...where a group of guys will surround a woman and wouldn't let her run.
Whenever you see the pictures of people being backed into the train with a battering ram, odds are it is the Saikyo line.
I can't even begin to express how crowded these trains are...and as a results tensions are always high.
Thus it deservingly earning the moniker of the 'Psycho line.'

I've many scars.

I always imagined the train gropings to be more of something exaggerated for hentai, rather than a real life event. Not say I thought it never happened, just not that often.
That's really quite saddening, if true.

Here are some more details on that incident.

Yeah, women definitely scream, and call out for help...but these scumbags ain't very bright.
I was on the Psycho line after work one night last week, when I heard screams for help coming from the other end of the carriage.
Also, mace really isn't an option, since a lot of these trains are so crowded that you don't even have the arm room to reach into your bag and grab it. And even if you could get a hold of it, and sprayed it on your attacker(s), you would end up spraying half of the people in the car. Also, I get the feeling that mace is illegal in Japan.

My abdomen has become armor like because of all the scar tissue.

You have got to be kidding me.
This is some epic stupidity going on here.

Woman in Japan who don't scream need to learn to scream, loudly! However, I think that is only half the problem, as society doesn't seem like the type to come and help, I've seen people look the other way when people are in trouble be it a fight or someone passed out on the road. Shame.

I wish there was some type of public awareness program or something of the nature that attempted to eradicate that "Just sweep it under the carpet" aspect of reporting crimes.

what's even more sick is how they stuff people in trains, which idiot came up with the idea to fill trains so crowded there's no space to breath in?

@kitsuneconundrum:
They don't have tasers in Japan, they only use their ki.

If you're robbing a bank and start to hear "KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMEEE......" you know you're busted.

Regardless, "He was taken to the station office, where he punched the woman in the face again" that made me laugh, hard.
Still fucked up, though.

It still is completely uncalled for to punch her in the face repeatedly.

A 21 year old that can't control his emotions like that is slightly disgraceful.
03/30/09
This has less to do with respect and more to do with NOT PUNCHING PEOPLE IN THE FACE OVER NOTHING.

And the ultimate sign of respect is rubbing on a woman's bottom/breasts. You should SEE how respectful the train rides are...

I've never punched anyone over a game, but I'm sure I smashed quite a few controllers over a TV.
Maybe games do lead to violence?
I kid.
03/30/09
we're still bestfriends.
but yeah, I've smashed, thrown, and kicked a lot of controllers in my time. especially the S-Type for the original X box, now that controller could take a beating.
I took an s-type by the chord once and whipped it against the wall and it bounced back and hit me in the face.
after that I stopped...
I don't know why an old woman would tell someone to stop playing a cell phone game, but I can't imagine why you'd hit her....6 times.
03/30/09
haha. Well deserved.

Gives a new meaning to Smash, doesn't it?
