What about the case of Issei Sagawa, a Japanese college student in France? - 04-26-2010, 08:26 PM

Issei Sagawa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THIS TOPIC:

* I removed this part in case it offended other members, please refer to the link above *

He was caught trying to dispose of her remains in a local park and arrested by French police, then later sent to an insane asylum. However, his wealthy father was able to get Issei deported to an asylum in Japan, where he only stayed 15 MONTHS before being released a free man.

What really makes this story sick and demented, is the fact that Japanese society (overall) literally EMBRACED this man. Instead of being socially shunned for his actions, he became a minor celebrity, openly discussing his crime on talk shows and radio broadcasts in exchange for money.

To this day he is still a free man living in Japan, without a care in the world…


I saw his documentary on a show called "Most Evil", and simply could not believe what I was hearing as they described this unspeakable injustice. I simply can't imagine what Renée's family and friends were and still are going through because of this.

This is the ultimate form of injustice in my opinion, because not only did he serve such a small sentence, he actually benefited financially and socially for what he did.


They're up in your face, they don't think you belong
Man, you got it, you got it goin' on
What breaks the weak just makes you strong
You got game, baby bring it on, bring it on
