Japanese legal experts have speculated about whether the KyoAni arsonist’s apparent mental illness may make him ineligible for the death penalty.
According to leading lawyer Masaru Wakasa and psychiatrist Tamami Katada, KyoAni arsonist Shinji Aoba may be able to escape death due to diminished mental capacity. Wakasa cited Article 39 of the Japanese penal code as evidence that a sufficiently mentally ill individual may be found not guilty of his crimes, and Katada suggested that Aoba may have such an extreme form of schizophrenia that he believed the thoughts were “being stolen from his brain”.
However, the fact that a genuine novel submission was received from Aoba may negate Katada’s claim.
Law professor Osamu Watanabe has taken an opposing stance, saying that Aoba’s actions required a great deal of forward planning. The premeditated nature of the crime can be seen by the fact that Aoba brought and transported a large quantity of petrol and took appropriate tools with him. The fact that he shouted “Die!” during the crime also showed that he understood the consequences of his actions.
Aoba currently remains hospitalized due to burn injuries.
Aim for life in prison instead, the death penalty too lenient. Dying is easy, living is hard.
He’s mentally deficient. He would be alive for the sole purpose of being a worthless bitch of a leech. Kill him, show the world you don’t give a single f♥♥k about retards with mental illnesses WHEN THEY BREAK THE LAW AND KILL SEVERAL PEOPLE!
f♥♥k this c♥♥t. He will never understand the full weight of his crimes and he never will. His incarceration is horse s♥♥t.
Execution is bullshit. Torture is another matter…
Except torture is illegal, so even if we wanted to have this asshole tortured it’s not gonna happen. That’s why we should settle for death penalty.
putting him on “indefinite” death row could work
Life incarceration can be torture in its own right.
Execution is a torture by itself. Just imagine being on a death row completely helpless knowing that you would die and nothing could be done about it.
This is the kind of mindset that just incentivizes people in doing whatever the f♥♥k they want and commit crimes.
I suggest to take a good look at how prisons look in a civilized society of the 21st century, they are not labor camps.. you can actually adapt in there and live a “decent” life by feigning rehabilitation.
Nowadays “mental illiness” has become a handy excuse to pardon criminals from the maximum penalty and it will only become worse. Death penalty is the solution, it has always been for hundred years.
You don’t let live a man that burned to death dozens of people, he is just a cancer that needs to be purged.. it’s that simple.
lock them up in a mental institution for the rest of his life. Now that will be the best verdict. He is definitely mental and a danger to others so he should be treated like one for the rest of his natural life..
I don’t agree. Usually the person dies in an instant. Poof, and all his crimes are vanished along with him, hooray for the humane execution! No, he needs to suffer. He needs to die slowly over the course of months or years. Do not sent him to prison. Subject him to tortures, let him starve, feed him just enough to barely survive for the next few months. Cut one of his finger off each day. Then his penis, then the limbs… pour acid on his wounds and inject some adrenalin to save him from pain shock death. Open up his anus and stick barber wire inside. Let him starve for a few days and then give him a bowl of insects and spiders to feed upon. And guard’s urine to drink. Stab and cut him slowly every day, and in the end, subject him to Scaphism as the final form of torture that will deliver him out of this world.
This would be fair I believe.
See that’s where the problem begins, I too personally think the fucker should be tortured for a long as time even after begging to die just like those who do mass rapes and murders and those thieves who steal from far too many people or past certain amount of cash but then the moral police would kick in and perhaps even pardon the fucker’s crimes because “he wasn’t being treated humanely” even if he didn’t do the same for others.
did you know that in japan the detainee is not told when the execution is? if its even set other than with a lottery.
What an overly used liberal s♥♥t phrase, why not just also throw in “with great power comes great responsibility” anyone who kills anyone, on purpose, and not in self defense, is insane anyway. Just kill him and be done with it, he killed 30 people, he doesnt deserve 3 meals a day and a roof over his head.
What are soldiers.
It’s not easy getting the death penalty in Japan. You maybe waiting years or decades for your turn and they never tell you.
So… like most people? Knowing you’ll die, maybe today, maybe in some decades, but you’ll surely die and most likely it’ll happen with no one telling you the schedule beforehand.
Valid point there. What’s a better way to send someone to Hell than to give them Hell firsthand XD
I see, The same penalty like Bitch/Slut from Shield Hero. The death penalty would be instant and would be a get out of trouble card.
same thing to Donald Trump
Why?
Seek help for your mental illness.
Just make sure it’s a prison filled with other violent convicts located where the weather is terribly depressing.
Plus in prison everyone knows what he did, and he could get anally raped as punishment. Win-win, tbh
Western media consuming rat spotted, prisons in first world countries that aren’t the US are usually picnic summer camps
Whoever defends this unprovoked mass murdering wretch for getting anything other than a decade of death row and the rope deserves the rope as well
Because of all the weebs in there trying to avenge KyoAni, I assume? Must be millions, nay BILLIONS of them in prison, obviously.
In case that one went over your head: It’s unlikely for a muscular thug (who’d anally r♥♥e somebody) to also like cartoons.
Prison-r♥♥e also looks more and more like a fairytale to scare youngsters… while making law-abiding citizens believe that even a lenient punishment can still be horrible for a perpetrator in the long run. I’m not sure it pans out that way. Many prisoners either join a gang or stay out of trouble and play DnD or some s♥♥t.
“In case that one went over your head: It’s unlikely for a muscular thug (who’d anally r♥♥e somebody) to also like cartoons.”
Why?
Putting him in prison costs money though, we are paying for a criminal to stay alive.
Death would be too easy. Let him rot in a cell around the rest of the inmates. And who knows, he’ll probably piss someone off in there and get himself killed.
You’re paying for him to stay alive? No you’re not. And going by your logic, we should just execute all criminals because we’re paying for them to stay alive. Prison is meant to serve as a punishment – the Japanese tax payers are paying for him to stay alive and suffer for the rest of his life in prison, not for him to enjoy a luxurious stay at a fancy hotel suite. I would say it’s better for literally millions of Japanese civilians to pay a fraction of a fraction of a yen to keep this man alive as punishment than to let him have the easy way out and execute him.
well yes, if rehabilitating them into a productive member of society is not possible then putting them down is both the ethical and economical choice.
keeping a person jailed for life benefits no one and is both wasteful and inhumane.
and rehabilitation is almost never possible because of the information age we’re currently living in, no one will hire a person with a record forcing the released back into a life of crime. releasing a criminal in such a society is irresponsible and harmful to everyone else in that society.
in short not only is executing all but the least serious offenses logical but it is the ONLY ethical choice.
You forget the term “institutionalize” humans adpat and get used to their environment and surroundings, In a couple of years the prison to him will be “home” and not so much suffering anymore.
You underestimate how luxurious these prisons are these days. And every [whatever currency you use] spent on prison is a [whatever currency you use] not spent on something more useful, like healthcare, or public services,
You are right on that.
Prisons nowadays can even be compared to hotels.
In my country, there is prison built just for big names in the goverment and its pratically a 5star hotel for them.
Or we burn him alive. An eye for any eye.
You are apparently too retarded to understand the concept of it costs money to house prisoners and that money would be better spent else where dumbass
So what you’re saying is that we shouldn’t be spending money on housing prisoners? I.E. either don’t arrest anyone, or execute them all? You retarded or something lol

The answer is making prisoners work for their living expenses (plus some more to raise the GDP for all I care), you absolute brainlet…
Let those criminals do real life PUBG
You must be young, the film was called Battle Royale. But I agree with you, I would like to see this organised.
Living is easy when you have your meals hand delivered to you, you get free room and board, you get free TV/Internet/Books/etc., you get cash for working simple jobs like laundry, road clean-up, etc.
It’s a huge waste of ta payer’s money. Just kill the fucker already.
Thats stupid. 5c .22 bullet and ditched in a forest for the buzzards to clean up.
But Id rather not do that at all and just give him a medal and convince him to do the same to square enix.
Personally I’d use a 30.06 or a 7.62x54r or just some 00 12 gauge buck shot so his head explodes.
Let him be in jail until the end of his life, a far worse penalty than easy escape death.
with this thinking, the human right retards are overjoy…
And make sure he has a warm bed, doesn’t have to work and has a proper meal every day – all paid for by taxes. Y’know, other people’s money.
Good. Death is too easy of a punishment, he deserves to rot in prison for the rest of his life.
Painful death. Either electric chair or burnt to death.
I agree, the James Field treatment is a provingly effective strategy. The easy way out is what they want.
Lawyerese bullshit.
Give this guy what he gave others. A painful death.
Just kill him now and save the trouble
Life in prison is the more appropriate punishment. While I understand that may be a controversial opinion, death sentence just means he never has to think about all the people he killed, or not being reminded about how he will be able to do nothing for the rest of his life as he sits in a cell. Despite him being mentally ill, he still had capable thought to plan out his crimes, but still, life in prison will make him think about it all. He had the mental capacity to hurt and kill, he has the capacity to think about what he’s done.
and who does that benefit? certainly not the criminal or his victims nor their families, not society as a whole. in fact the only people who have anything to gain from that course of action are the people who get paid to care for the prisoner which says that the whole thing is a waste of resources.
i propose instead we harvest his organs both swiftly ending his existence while saving multiple lives in the process…
Thing is you’re thinking of him as a rational human being who will feel bad for his deeds. Truth is life in prison wouldn’t be that different from his life as hikikomori, except for the fact that he will never ever be worried about food or other needs. Heck, in time, with “good behavior” he might even get a small tv or something.
What about the death row progression they have then?
Or he could spend the rest of his life patting himself on the back for achieving his goal of getting revenge on the people that he thinks plagiarized him.
Whilst getting anally raped day-in day-out by angry prison otaku?
so… if you were to be very angry with some guy, would you r♥♥e him in revenge?
No but there’s probably a lot of people in there that would shank him good.
I would take pleasure in it
>angry prison otaku
Just how dull do you have to be to spout such idiotism.
Less dull than someone who can’t get a joke I guess 🙂
This is like the 5th time you’ve made the anal joke comment now, pretty fixated on faggot porn and it’s fine you like watching faggot porn like most western numales but this is unrelated, prison is a luxury and only serves to redeem people that haven’t done heinous s♥♥t like this
“prison is a luxury”
Not when you’re getting anally raped day-in day-out by an angry prison otaku
You seem fixated on faggot sex, are you also into scat criminal, apologist? Maybe there’s some sort of correlation between feces lovers and fangirls trannies like you that suck the dick of mass murderers
