If he had only come to California — he would have been set free after a few months in jail....

Japan is the only major industrialised nation other than the United States to apply the death penalty and has been stepping up the pace of executions...

Must be a communist author to conveniently forget China executes and is industrialized.

[libh8er]

Is it a coincidence that the two countries in the free world that impose the death penalty also happen to be the world’s two largest economies.

[Anti-Bubba182]

So what if he is mentally ill! Such arguments are ludicrous in horrific cases like this. One could take as given that a serial killing pedophile cannibal is not right in the head.

Tsutomu Miyazaki has finally been sent to where he belongs: HELL!!

Not to sound a little sick but how do they carry it out there?

[FlingWingFlyer]

I never have been able to figure out what being an “industrialised nation” has to do with the death penalty. Must be one of those artsy-fartsy, “intellectual” college kid things.

The Japanese take order strictly. You are safe in Japan, even on the streets. They don't make excuses for those who have assaulted society.

Good bloody riddance!!!

The only thing about this story that disappoints me is that it took so darn long to stretch his neck.

おめでとう!

Miyazaki, 45, was nicknamed the "killer nerd" for his obsession with sexual cartoons and pornography. But defence lawyers contended he was mentally ill and could not be held fully responsible for his actions.

I'll never understand why the mentally ill should get a free pass on murder charges. That's totally crazy

For less serious charges I'm not opposed to their mental state being considered. But not on murder

[AmericanInTokyo]

That little twerp who also went crazy with the hunting knife in downtown Akihabara (Tokyo) a week ago, also a lowlife, no-life, "nerd" hopelessly into manga and video games with no connection to reality nor appreciating humans as actual PEOPLE, will get HIS two I would guess. I give it maybe three or four years for him. He will get the rope as well.

The pace of executions is increasing, no doubt.

[Luke21]

Good for Japan. My compliments.

"The atrocious murder of four girls to satisfy his sexual desire leaves no room for leniency," Chief Justice Tokiyasu Fujita said in January 2006 when he upheld his death sentence.

Mr. Justice Fujita is my kind of guy.

Japan executes notorious cannibal killer

I wonder what he ordered for his last meal.

[Broker]

Executions are for the protection of society; regardless of the sanity of the criminal. Elimenate the threat.

Recycled rope without notice or fanfare is an honors society.
