Coffee Bukakke Man

The spitter, who was nicknamed “Coffee Bukakke Man” by locals, had carried out 5 attacks since the end of October. All of his victims were junior high school or high school girls wearing their uniforms, and all of the attacks involved spitting coffee onto their faces from his car window. His final attack took place on December 7th, when a 16-year-old schoolgirl he spit on was able to come to her senses quickly enough to spot his license plate number and memorize it. This led to the arrest of 26 year-old Yoshiro Sumiyama, who admitted attacking the girls. Sumiyama told police that he was irritated after having been dumped by a woman and carried out the spitting attacks to relieve some stress.

Awesome? Oh yeah! But check out this report from Asahi TV. Don't worry that you can't understand Japanese - it plays like a Daily Show segment, and the cartoon reenactment is top quality.

Further proof that you mess people up after you drop two atomic bombs on them.
