There Are Bad People In The World


Osaka burglar smothers newborn, ties up mother


OSAKA (Kyodo) A 2-week-old boy in Moriguchi, Osaka Prefecture, was killed Wednesday night by a suspected burglar who sealed the baby's lips and nose with
adhesive tape to stop him from crying, police said.
A tarp covers the
crime scene Thursday where police continue to investigate a murder-burglary in Moriguchi, Osaka Prefecture, in which a 2-week-old baby was killed. The burglar also tied up the baby's 22-year-old mother, Izumi Yamanaka, after he broke into her house and made away with about ¥50,000 in cash — which was a gift celebrating the birth of the baby, Reiya.
Yamanaka's 48-year-old mother found the two when she came home around 11:20 p.m. She called police and the baby was taken to a hospital, where it was pronounced dead, police said. Yamanaka went out to the entrance of the house when she heard the intercom ring around 6 p.m. She left the door unlocked after she found nobody there, and about 45 minutes later a man broke into the house, police said.
Police quoted Yamanaka as saying that the man — dressed in black and wearing a black knit cap, a white mask and white gloves — put the adhesive tape on the baby's lips after it started crying in its crib in the first floor living room.
The man also bound Yamanaka and tied her to a refrigerator with adhesive tape, police said in quoting her. He searched through the house for about 15 minutes and left. The man was about 170 cm tall, police quoted Yamanaka as saying. The baby's grandmother also told police she saw marks on the body suggesting the newborn was beaten.

A new Feeling

For the first time in my life... wrong.

For the first time in a log time I feel at peace. Completely at peace. Normally I have some... thing swirling around in my head giving me all kinds of random stress. Not today though.

Is this how straight people feel?

Yeah that is a dumb question but one that I often find myself asking. I guess I could probably ask, "Is this how white people feel?" I think that would imply some racism or at least a bit of setting apart and feelings of inferiority in my mind. I don't feel inferior to straight people. I feel outnumbered. Overwhelmed. The one black sheep standing out in a see of flamingos. (You thought I was going to say sheep didn't you?)

Anyway the reason that I feel so peaceful is that I finally, as planned, told my parents that I was gay. It was an interesting experience. I'll talk about it in detail later. I'm still trying to iron the kinks out with my family. My parents seem to believe that they can pray the gay out of me. So during my now mandatory weekly calls home we pray for a couple of minutes after I tell them about my life here in Japan.

It is an arrangement that cannot last long. I don't want them hanging on to false hope, but I don't want to force them into some type of Pride parade. I took me a long time to become comfortable with myself and I want to be sure they have that same time, but I want them to realize that this thing is out of their hands.

Does that make sense?
