Two Americans were arrested in Japan on Monday after breaking into the enclosure of the beloved Punch the monkey, the 9-month-old internet sensation, police said.

Police in the Tokyo suburb of Chiba detained Reid Jahnai Daysun, 24, and Neal Jabahri Duan, 27, after one of the men allegedly jumped the fence to enter the enclosure while the other filmed.

Japanese Police don’t mess around like America’s do...

And, as I understand it, neither does the Japanese judicial system nor its penal system.

My guess is that they are internet "influencers" along the line of that prick, Johnny Somali.......

Throw them in jail

[Red Badger]

They don’t like ‘jokes’..............

Plus…

A friend of mine, a black guy, was hired to teach English to Japanese students (in a Japanese high school). My friend was shocked by the open racism he experienced from the students.

So I’m guessing those two black guys might not have an easy time while in custody.

Side question: Does Al Sharpton speak Japanese? If so, get him on a plane to Tokyo immediately!

I should have read the article, they were internet pricks and their youtube antics.........

What's sad is that these assholes actually make money from these videos.....

Good. Throw the book at them.

[ronniesgal]

someone pointed out that they are breaking into a monkey enclosure? That’s racist!!

[Nik Naym]

As an American, I am embarrassed.

If anyone from Japan is reading this, please understand that this behavior is not approved by most Americans either.

These monkeys do not represent us at all.

Please lock their asses up for as long as your laws allow. Frankly, you would be doing us a great favor to keep them.

[LouAvul]

You forgot a necessary adjective.

Reid Jahnai Daysun and Neal Jabahri Duan

Mayflower descendants, I see.

Duan is a Chinese surname, as is Daysun.

Jahnai and Jabahri are Arabic

[SteelPSUGOP]

Yeah, Japanese are very racist against black people. They also don’t tolerate lawlessness.

And livestream the caning all over the internet.
