T master Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 This is a terrible thing for Japan & it's people as it always is but hmm a home made gun lets think about that for just a moment in the grand scheme of some things posted here . Too i would like to see how the Japanese handle this type of crime & what they do to the person that committed it . Japan as far as i know doesn't have a lot of this kind of thing & i'm just wondering what their consequences are for such a act & how swift the enforcement of them that they are ? Maybe America could learn a thing or 2 . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALF Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 Japan has almost completely eliminated gun deaths — here's how Japan is a country of more than 127 million people, but it rarely sees more than 10 gun deaths a year. Culture is one reason for the low rate, but gun control is a major one, too. Japan has a long list of tests that applicants must pass before gaining access to a small pool of guns. https://www.businessinsider.com/gun-control-how-japan-has-almost-completely-eliminated-gun-deaths-2017-10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw all I needed to know in Tokyo Vice We all know the stats are fake. Per Vox: But as the video above by the Economist shows, behind Japan's low crime rates are some very troubling criminal justice practices. The Economist explained: Some suspects will falsely admit guilt just to end a stressful interrogation, and interrogations in Japan can be very stressful. Police and prosecutors may hold ordinary criminal suspects for up to 23 days without charge—longer than most other rich countries allow even terrorist suspects to be detained. Access to defence lawyers during this period is limited. In theory, suspects have the right to remain silent; but in practice prosecutors portray silence as evidence of guilt. Prosecutors put pressure on the police to extract confessions, and 23 days is plenty of time to extract one. Interrogators sometimes ram tables into a suspect, stamp on his feet or shout in his ears. Interviews can last for eight hours or more. Suspects are deprived of sleep and forced into physically awkward positions. Few people can withstand such treatment. "Not being able to sleep was the hardest for me," says Kazuo Ishikawa, who held out for 30 days before signing a confession he couldn’t read (he was illiterate at the time) to a murder he says he didn’t commit. He spent 32 years in prison and is still fighting to be exonerated. In other words, Japan's criminal justice system is built to rely largely on confessions — confessions underpinned 89 percent of criminal prosecutions in 2014, the Economist found. And the lack of safeguards for suspects means the system often relies on false confessions. https://www.vox.com/world/2015/12/13/9989250/japan-crime-conviction-rate Edited July 8, 2022 by Big Blitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horrendous Analysis: Death of ‘Abenomics’ father may give Japan scope to curb stimulus TOKYO, July 10 (Reuters) - The death of Shinzo Abe, namesake of Japan's "Abenomics" policy, makes any immediate challenge to his legacy highly unlikely but could eventually allow Prime Minister Fumio Kishida to phase out Abe's government spending and monetary stimulus. https://www.reuters.com/business/death-abenomics-father-may-give-japan-scope-curb-stimulus-2022-07-10/ ITS BEEN 3 FREAKING DAYS Tell us there is no Deep State again Edited July 11, 2022 by Big Blitz 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
