Not only are gangs, there are generally aging phenomena in Japanese gangs, and members of the sixties and seventies are abound. A group of older "old people" still rushed to kill at the front line, making people laugh.

Changzhong Tian Haoshi. According to the surveillance camera near the scene at the time, a man wearing a helmet rode a motorcycle and fired, and the county police determined that the man was 60 -year -old Zhongtian.

What is even more regrettable is that the Japanese police found his trace through the bus card used by Nakada. The core leader of the gangsters in the Tang Dynasty usually did not travel in private cars. The reason was that the group had insufficient funds.

In 2011, Japan began to implement the "Regulations on Violence Groups" to punish companies and citizens that provide benefits to the underworld organizations, which made the wealth of Japanese underworld organizations worse. "Fortune" magazine estimated that Yamaguchi Group reached $ 80 billion in 2015, but now, many members have no fixed source of income and even steal food collectively.

The regulations also stipulate that gangsters cannot open bank accounts, rent houses, and purchase insurance. The gangsters must show their identity when they play golf balls and stay in the hotel, otherwise they are crime of fraud. Even if they leave the underworld, they will continue to be subject to 5 years of constraints.

Japanese reporter Suzuki said: "(now) If you show you a gangster, you can't engage in economic activities, it is really difficult."

Lack of young people to join, the aging of Japanese gangsters is not surprising. The Japan Police Department reported that since the age of the gang members has been collected since the department's dynasties, it was found that members over 50 years of age had accounted for 51.2%in 2020. The ages of 70-79 have also increased significantly, accounting for more than 10%.

A veteran of the Yamaguchi group said helplessly that they were facing a crisis of survival. "Affected by the new crown virus, many stores are closed, and the members of the lower levels are economic constraints. It can be said that there are only a handful of gang members who can maintain their livelihoods. Continue. "

"Self -cultivation" of gang members

The embarrassment of gangsters has attracted the attention of Japanese media, and the "source of funds for gangsters" has appeared on the hot topic of Twitter in Japan. According to reports, Japanese gangsters are facing a "transformation" predicament and re -searching for the way of making a living.

The construction project of a large number of workers has also become a good choice. According to reports, many gangs have participated in the construction of the Tokyo Olympic venue or nuclear power plant.

At the same time, the gangs also began to pay attention to re -establish the image and integrate into society faster. For example, the Yamaguchi group builds its own official website and creates newspapers and publish a gang "cultural propaganda".

Another report said that after the outbreak of the Japanese epidemic, the police had searched the headquarters of the Fukuoka gangster "Tonren Society" headquarters in Fukuoka, Japan. What surprised the media was that although the gangsters and the police had a positive conflict, its backbone epidemic prevention measures were very standard and the mask was quite neat.

But these do not mean that the gangsters have completely washing their hearts. After the epidemic, some gangs had a hacking of hoarding masks, buying back and selling business, and initiating "national difficulties". There are also people who have reduced income due to the epidemic. In the view of the Japanese police, gangs are still a huge threat to social stability.
