The arson attack in a revered Kyoto animation studio killed 36 people and injured dozens more.
It’s trippy for such a technologically advanced country that they still do hangings
The Gundam Firing Squad is out for repairs, and they couldn’t find a pen to write his name in the Death Note.
This legitimately made me laugh
They are very conservative and toxic in many things sadly. It doesn’t sit right with their international image. The country of contrasts I guess.

But…
This is death penalty version of I’m not racist but
Considering how Japan’s justices system is as bad as the US there definitely shouldn’t be a death penalty in ANY circumstances
Plus, that’s just letting them off easy. Life in prison is a worse sentence.
“Life in prison is a worse sentence” depend where
Anywhere that still uses the death penalty, I’m guessing.

According to the autopsies most people died due to burns rather than smoke
Let the fucker hang, and that’s the least we could do

Kinda sounds like you might be for the death penalty…

Yea, you sympathize and thus justify the secondary action. In this case that would be the death penalty.

Im not sure its any worse than any method done today outside of inert gas asphyxiation, which ironically has gotten a lot of pushback. If death penalty is done they should allow a choice of options a state could reasonably accomodate with the most humane one they can figure out as the default.

I didn’t think they still had the death penalty even.
Having seen and been moved by Violet Evergarden, which if I remember right was produced there, I have to say … I think justice is served here.
The company is a rare bright spot in a very ugly and difficult industry.
I understand the sentiment… but murdering that many people is the bad thing. They don’t need to be good guys for you to think their death was unjustified.
And continues to be.
After a few months break, those that were able to returned to work and went right back to cranking out amazing material and stories as if nothing had ever happened. No quality difference between the work done before the tragedy and the work done after. Bless all of them because they are clearly driven by a white-hot passion to create over anything else.
Out of the few kinds of crimes that I feel qualify for a Death Sentence…this is absolutely One Of Them.
There should be an extra clause for death penalties that they should only be given out in cases beyond physical impossibility as opposed to reasonable doubt. Reasonable doubt is not a good bar for killing somebody, but in this case there’s no physical possibility it wasn’t him.
No. Just No. Beyond Any Reasonable Doubt is sufficient.
Don’t try to diminish or weaken the necessity of the death penalty in a first-degree-multiple-murder scenario. The death penalty is always absolutely warranted.
