I was watching the telly today and on one channel they had a story
about how someone had robbed a million yen from an ATM in the Post
Office of one of the earthquaked villages, then they had a few
villages commenting how terrible, they couldn't forgive such an act,
etc, and one of the commentators in the studio (I think he'd been
wheeled in for the Sepponian election) commented that on US telly
they'd been coverage of how noble everyone had been, helping others,
etc with the quake and typhoons, so surely only gaigins could have
done it.

Oh, the immediately preceding article had been on the various fake
appeals for money for quake victims, but absent comments from the
public or the guy in the studio about how horrible *that* was.

Personally, I'd rate robbing an evacuees house as the worst
(thankfully no reports of that), second fake claims for money, and
third robbing ATMs, with regard to the amount of misery, or abuse of
victims that these crimes entail.
