Since Esca was missing the Japan Times posts, I thought I'd make up for it :haihai:

Teen prankster facing family court

SHIZUOKA (Kyodo) Police on Friday turned over to a family court their case against a 15-year-old boy who allegedly posted a prank message on an Internet bulletin board threatening to randomly kill elementary school students in Kanagawa Prefecture.

The high school student, whose name is being withheld, obstructed police by using a personal computer at his home in Kosai, Shizuoka Prefecture, on July 31 to post the message on the Channel 2 Internet board, police said.

Obstructing police is a violation of the Minor Offenses Law.

Police filed an investigative report on the student with the Hamamatsu branch of the Shizuoka Family Court.

They quoted the boy as saying, "Since I heard a person was arrested earlier for a similar act, I wanted to confirm whether police would really respond to such a message." He has apologized, they said.

Kanagawa police tracked down the boy after being alerted to the message by a local citizen who read it.

Heck, I'll even post my comments about the article right here so you don't get the impression that it was posted by a bot who just posts random Japan Times articles

Concerning the boy who did this - Gee, how daft can you get!?
"I wanted to confirm whether police would really respond"? Next thing he does is robbing a store or something also to see whether police responds, eh?
Hope they lock this retard away for some time...

You just think they were banned. That's the whole idea of yakuza hitman assassin ninjas, you never know when they're there.

It's sort of like the old story about a Florida gas station owner who used to put a sign up in his window at night saying:

"This store guarded three nights a week by alligator. You guess which three."

Something like a Swat Anti-Terror Unit you mean?

@mike
Like the idea with the alligator
