The dangerous trespassing incident specifically targeted a popular baby Japanese macaque named “Punch”
Okay, the headline out of context had me losing my mind lol
who recently captured the hearts of visitors for adorably hugging and carrying around plush toys.
Fucking pieces of shit.
Ah, the irony of viral social media outrage at someone attempting to generate viral social media engagement.
The Japanese quite famously do not take kindly to this or other kinds of jackassery.
That's a lie. Every time it happens, they slap them on the wrist and sends them on their way.
Korea on the other hand locks them in prison while citizens rough them up.
Japan needs to stop letting "nuisance" folks get away with shit.
I defer to you I do not actually know you are correct. I do know how I heard that Japan's cursive system involved execution and that is it. Traditionally. There was like the death penalty and that is it the fuedal in Japan, hard world.
As to the koreans, I worked at a place where there were Koreans and I would wave at them and they would snub me I asked someone and they told me the Koreans are very hierarchical and to not believe in acknowledging existence of those below them. Hold on
They let Johnny Somali walk out of Japan though. And the same for that other idiot that is now a boxer.
Let's hope they learned their lesson and this time give out an exemplary punishment
I thought they were arrested for doing a move called a baby monkey punch that was terrifying at first.
Same lol, I was staring at the headline and the subtitle for a long time trying to parse together if there was a missing comma to figure out the context
At least there was no punching of baby monkeys involved so I'm slightly less outraged than expected
It's a bad headline. It really needs a "Named" between "Monkey" and "Punch".
This brazen attempt to manufacture online virality at the direct expense of living animals has sparked widespread outrage across social media platforms.
Everyone sees themselves as a theoretical hero rushing to defend animals. Yet most of those people pay for the dismemberment and slaughtering of animals. I'm so tired of the selective outrage.
Dennis Leary: My fluffy little dog.. He's so cute- There's the problem. We only want to save the cute animals, don't we? Yeah. Why don't we just have animal auditions. Line 'em up one by one and interview them individually.
Dennis: What are you?
Otter: I'm an otter.
Dennis: And what do you do?
Otter: I swim around on my back and do cute little human things with my hands.
Dennis: You're free to go. And what are you?
Cow: I'm a cow.
Denis: Get in the fucking truck, ok pal!
Cow: But I'm an animal.
Dennis: You're a baseball glove! Get on that truck!
Cow: I'm an animal, I have rights!
Dennis: (pointing at leather jacket) Yeah, here's yer fucking cousin, get on the fucking truck, pal!

Found the ve- oh, wait. Nevermind
We really need a global black list for travel for these kinds of assholes. Keep them in their own shithole country and never allow them to leave anymore. Like these guys or for example johnny somali.
Easy, just stop letting Americans in (and screen Brits just to be safe)
We already have that. It's weaponized to mostly ban people of Islamic faith.
We shouldn't have such a db
Indeed and it will be expanded to include people like me, I might already be on it, because israel.
If they're in jail, they're lot traveling.
No need for some unachievable world wide "asshole no travel list", the authorities of the affected countries just need to do their job properly.
This is one of those things were the victimized nations mostly are self-selecting by not treating people doing this kind of shit hard enough.
These fucking morons are not going to learn until they receive real consequences for their actions.
I hope they see real time in a Japanese prison.
Those 98% conviction rate better work wonders this time!
What the 99.9% Figure Actually Measures
The conviction rate tracks only cases where a prosecutor has formally indicted a defendant and brought the case to trial. It does not reflect the outcome of all police investigations, all arrests, or all cases referred to prosecutors. This distinction matters enormously. Japanese prosecutors decline to indict in roughly 60% of cases referred to them by police, meaning fewer than one in three cases that police hand off ever reaches a courtroom.1 The 99.9% applies only to that narrow slice of cases that survived the screening process.
This makes direct comparisons with other countries misleading. In the U.S. federal system, prosecutors indict more than 80% of referred cases, but over 97% of those are resolved through plea bargains where the defendant agrees to plead guilty in exchange for reduced charges or a lighter sentence. If you counted those guilty pleas as convictions the same way Japan counts trial outcomes, the U.S. federal conviction rate would also exceed 99%. The roughly 83% conviction rate Americans typically hear about applies only to contested trials. Japan has no comparable plea bargaining system for most crimes, so nearly all its cases go to a full trial, and the 99.9% figure reflects verdicts after that process.
I remain confused why a currency needs a community.
No community means nobody to scam!
currency is powered by faith. if nobody believes in its value, then it has none.
Oh so that's why on 30 April at night we all get together on Blocksberg to chant about how much we love the euro.
EUROLIEBE! EUROLIEBE!
EUROLIEBE!!!!!!!!
Like America isn't hated enough around the world already.
I hope they throw them in jail for a year. Make an example out of them.
The globe hates Americans.
I pity most Americans
I despise a significant number of them
I spend a lot of time in the US, my fiancée is American
The problem is that even the good people have been beaten into submission
They have given up, because (and this isn't untrue) they see the problems, but they're bigger than what they can deal with when they're stretched close to their breaking point already
This is by design. Those with the power know exactly what they're doing, and it's working.
While I agree with much of that, I think regular Americans are to blame. America became what it is because of the carelessness and naivety of the culture. Americans could have had spines decades and decades ago, but instead chose to live with arrogance as a prided cultural trait.
Where are you from? I just want to live somewhere where my voice matters again.
Meme Coin? Still working? The latest grift are ai-something, not the old crypto scams
AI can also do crypto now, if I ain't mistaken.
This is inexcusable and indefensible. I hope the judge thinks so, too.
