Crazy guy blocks train at Shinagawa station

July 6th, 2009 by James

A Japanese man blocks a Yamanote Line train at Shinagawa station, screaming and throwing rocks until JR workers take him down (the video clip is from a year ago, but its still making its way through the Japanese blogosphere):

The JR workers handled that pretty well. In the U.S., they’d be plugging their tasers into the third rail and lighting that dude up like a christmas tree.

Don’t get why they need 10-15 people to move him out of the station, police sure know how to waste resources.

P.S He must be Korean.

Richard: loved your comment!

Joe: Got something to back that up, sport? Parting shots are the mark of the weak.

They should have yelled “ramming speed” and went for it.

He read the Fortune article about the iPhone being more popular in Japan than it really is. Reasonable response, really.

This is what happens when you live in a crowded place together with 30+ million people for too long. ^^
