Akihabara deemed lawless area +
You may have heard of the recent crackdowns by Japanese police in Akihabara. Well it seems this past weekend the patrols were eased a bit, and normality returned to Akihabara… for a moment at least. Seems Yahoo News Japan reported Akihabara to be a lawless area and that attracted hordes of TV camera crews trying to get the scoop. Akiba-blog wrote that reporters were asking random people “aren’t you gonna take some sexy pictures!?” Many of the crews were trying to get public opinion on what they thought of the “lawless Akihabara”. But despite the sea of cameramen, the cosplayers and low angle picture takers were back out in force. I wonder if the police detail will pick back up next weekend. Source Akiba-blog

What? Because of a few socially inept people having a bit of fun they declare the area lawless? What???
How about the police crack down on all of this Hip Hop practice sh!t that is happening at many stations. All of these ghetto wannabe’s trying their super moves are blocking my path.
Then again, I deliberately walk into their practice area in the hope of picking a fight with them.
