I wonder who the parents of the six children killed last year in April by a mobile crane in Tochigi Prefecture blame: the driver or the crane?
Regardless of the cause, does it not seem reasonable that Japan should consider a ban on mobile cranes? How about a ban on automobiles after a man ran down 16 people in Kyoto this April? According to the Japanese Constitution, people have no intrinsic right to mobile cranes or automobiles, so it should be no problem, right?
