Doddering defender

Whilst Japan is still relatively safe compared to many countries, crime levels are slowly rising. A situation that the media has been more than happy to exaggerate, gladly forfeiting balanced coverage for short-term commercial gain. The often sensationalist reports whipping up unnecessary fear and anxiety, especially amongst the elderly.

Resulting in some pensioners taking decidedly drastic defence measures.
