Japan executes notorious cannibal killer

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

[LoneRangerMassachusetts]

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.

[Army Air Corps]

The sack of filth received justice.

[BlackVeil]

Exactly so. He is very dangerous, has committed dreadful crimes, and shows no remorse. I am very glad to hear that he is gone.

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?

[NormsRevenge]

Hell, if this was in California, the 9th circus would probably hire him as a short order cook.

[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.

Not 100% certain, but I believe it’s hanging.

"kono risuto ni hairitai ka detai wo shirasete kudasai"

Could you please translate.

[blackbart.223]

"Not 100% certain, but I believe it’s hanging."

That will get the job done.

[Ronin]

Good bloody riddance!!!

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

[sushiman]

I was living in Saitama very near Tokyo when this wacko got caught and shall never forget it . My own daughter was only a year and a half at the time and my heart went out to the poor families who lost their kids .

[Dr.Zoidberg]

Indeed. A method of execution I wish we would reinstate.

Cheap, easy and the rope requires no electricity to operate so it’s carbon neutral.

[Ronin]

Hanging. I approve. Rope is reusable.

And the interesting part of it is that the person will not know he is going to be executed until they take him out of his cell and escort him to the room with the rope hanging from the ceiling.

Nor are executions announced to the public beforehand.
