SAITAMA — Police served fresh arrest warrants Friday on two 16-year-old boys on suspicion of killing a disabled homeless man by hurling firebombs to set his dwelling on fire last October in the city of Saitama, Saitama Prefecture, police officials said. On Thursday, two other teenage boys — an 18-year-old high school student and a 15-year-old junior high school student — were arrested on suspicion of killing the homeless man, Makoto Amazutsumi, 60.
Investigations show that the suspects threw several gasoline-filled bottles toward the area beneath a river bridge, where Amazutsumi was living, early on Oct 22, 2005. Amazutsumi, who had leg disabilities, could not flee the fire and was burned to death, the police said.

If he was homeless, what the fuck was this "dwelling" he was in? Sounds like a home to me. Why are there homeless people in Japan?

During 90s old traditions of doing Harakiri when you lose your job weren't that respected anymore. So homeless people started appearing.
In Japan, homeless people live in a blue tent, down by the river.

I'm sure there are some homeless Japanese that live in an old van down by the river.

Fuck Homeless people. THere are tons of jobs around, you just have to be willing to do them. "Oh no, I'm too good to pick fruit or clean toliets." Fuck you. If had a brain and weren't looking for the easy way out then you would at least be living in a shitty apartment. ANd if you werent so fucking stupid when you were younger and stayed in school then you wouldnt be homeless... Its true.
Er, it's kinda hard to fill out a job application when your homeless. What do you put as your address?

While I do agree that there are some lazy ass bums, there are those who are homeless due to abuse, medical conditions, etc. Also, tattered clothes and the smell of feces don't make a good first impression.

and thse homeless lost their high paying job when the bubble burst in japan. When they finally lost it they were too old to find a new job, and companies are much different from america they only hier students fresh out of university or something like that.
government hasn't done a thing about it . There are websights on the internets that have topics about it, but i dont think anyone really would care if i posted them.
