Alone at a time of danger

This time, I would like to talk about "Alone at a time of danger" which opinion was written by Peter Sidell. He responds about the news of the murder in Saitama prefecture. The woman was found dead by her colleagues who wondered why she did not come to work for two days. When she was found, her hands tied together and her head covered by stocking. Sidell said that she would not have died if the neighbors did something. Her neighbor said he heard her screaming and the sound of hitting the floor from second floor, but he did nothing and she was found dead after two days.

He also mentioned about the news of raped woman in the bathroom of the train. In this case, there were about forty passengers in there, but they could not stop or tell the conductor, because the man also threatened them. They just pretend they did not hear woman crying, and taken to the bathroom for rape. At last, it was woman herself that reported to the police.

By reading or watching these news, Sidell thinks that in Japan, no one would help you from the danger. So, you must protect by yourself.
