Now deceased man said he was Satoshi Kirishima who was allegedly member of radical group in 1970s that bombed Japanese firms
A dying man in a Japanese hospital told police that he was one of the country’s most wanted fugitives and had been on the run for nearly 50 years for being part of a radical group that carried out bombings in the 1970s, police have said.
After receiving a tip, police went to the hospital near Tokyo last week to question the 70-year-old man. He told them he had terminal cancer and wanted to die under his real name, Satoshi Kirishima, instead of his alias, and disclosed previously unknown details about the bombings, police said.
On Monday, four days after the questioning, the man died without police having confirmed his identity. DNA tests conducted on him and on relatives showed they were compatible, Kyodo News reported on Friday. Police would not confirm that report.
Yeah, I’m pretty left leaning, but these guys basically said “You Mitsubishi laborers work for a colonialist corporation, therefore you’re fair game.” That’s beyond fucked.
Are those labourers in some minute way culpable for the evils perpetrated by their employers? Sure, I could see an argument for that. After all, they freely chose (or at least as freely as one can choose in a society where labour is compelled for those with little money) to sell their labor. Is that commensurate with death? No way in hell.
The second you consider a plan involving injuring blue collar workers who are just trying to make ends meet, it’s time to rethink your philosophy.
“I disagree with McDonalds’ business practices, so I shot the kid behind the counter at my local franchise.”
Didn’t it say no one was injured in the attack he did?
Usually the kind of guys that support this kind of crap usually align pretty darn well with the kind of guys that think that “the revolution must be protected at any cost”
