No freedom of speech in Japan nowadays

Three days after announcing the cold shutdown of the crippled nuclear power plants, the prime minister Noda was going to give a public speech at the Shimbashi station in Tokyo. Before he showed up, protesters there with a placard saying like "No one trust you! Cold shutdown? The nuclear accident contained ? Who would believe that!?" were restrained by police officers.The prime minister Noda didn't show up presumably following the news of Kim Jong-il's death.

@OriginalCliche1 "make up facts"? How does one make up facts? Facts re facts. I state the facts while you make up lies.

@HomleandSecurity I have no reason to justify myself to you you are a liar and make up facts so are just a waste of space and i defend freedom of speech no matter who it is coming from

@OriginalCliche1 You made no argument against the fact that these are hard left union thugs.

As no mainstream media in Japan has had the moral or political will to report on this story, we shall have to pass it around amongst ourselves. Please share with anyone who is saddened by the sight of a civil population being gently ushered into totalitarianism. Brothers and sisters, these motherf****rs presume polite equals docile and silence equals servile, so please make dissent your resolution for 2012.

Not really surprising. The Right Wing loonies in this country are allowed to do as they please, which includes committing violent acts against anyone they feel opposes them. Any other individual or organization that attempts to protest against the government's asinine policies or the police department's thuggery is quickly dealt with in the manner clearly shown here. I have seen it happen so many times in Tokyo. This country is just like a Banana Republic where the bananas are in the government.
