I am starting to think that it is better to have some kind of protective jacket under the clothes and a leather collar around the neck like Marines used to wear.

Near the train station? 1.5 kms away? Relevance of that headline escapes me.

Probably more significant that it was outside a ramen restaurant. Seems organized crime has strong ties to the ramen industry in Japan.
