Yakuza keeping looters at bay in Japan?


Here in America, if someone farts too loud everyone begins to loot their local Wal-Mart. In Japan, after a huge Earthquake and Tsunami, it seems that crime and looting is rather low. Why is that?

“In times of crisis, there are not Yakuza and civilians or foreigners. There are only human beings and we should help each other.”- Yakuza Boss

It seems major yakuza familes have squads that are patrolling the streets, just like police would do says Slate. Good to know that even people that are considered criminals can realize that you should help your neighbors when they are in need. Kazuma Kiryu would be proud!

    Worst is someone with no moral values than a criminal.

    This is interesting, and good to see I guess. Though the Yakuza probably own a good amount of those shop that would get looted anyway, so they may just be protecting their own interests. Just sayin'.
