火事場で、病人のお爺さんを救って、さっさと、消えた配達員の話だが、ええ話や。

Artiaga's eyes begin to fill with emotion. "We have to help each other out. We kill each other. We fight. We gotta help each other out. I don't feel like a hero. If it was someone else, I'd help them, too."

イスラム国よりも、メキシコ麻薬組織のほうが怖い、と

Mexican drug cartels are worse than ISIL
Western obsession with the Islamic State is fueled more by bigotry than any genuine assessment of risk or atrocities

残忍性、性奴隷の搾取　宗教性、その規模など、どの点をとっても、イスラム国よりも、メキシコ麻薬組織のほうがすごい、と。

外国人と思って日本人を逮捕

「不法入国韓国人」で逮捕…実は日本人、何で？
2014年10月26日 08時01分

　兵庫県警尼崎北署は２５日、不法入国した韓国人を装った日本人男性（２５）（兵庫県尼崎市）を入管難民法違反（旅券不携帯）容疑で誤って逮捕し、約２時間後に釈放したと発表した。


　発表によると、同日午前３時頃、同市内の飲食店から「男の客ともめ事になっている」と通報があった。署員が駆け付けたところ、男性が片言の日本語で「フェリーのコンテナに隠れて韓国から不法入国した」と答えるなどしたため、署に任意同行し、身元を確認できないまま逮捕した。

　ところが、経緯をただすと「本当は日本人。うそをついてすみません」と打ち明け、スムーズに会話を始めた。家族に連絡して日本人であると確認され、謝罪したうえで釈放したが、男性がうそをついた理由はよくわからないという。同署の西村章雄副署長は「今後は適正な手続きを徹底したい」としている。
