With a justice system like Japan's I am surprise that one was not found guilty.

The one that got off must have put in a higher bid than the others.

Nothing about the "Fire Inspectors" who approved the building year after year?

its all Yakuza based. Yep, Yakuza lit the fire. Nobodies got burned, so who cares? , and 7 years later a verdict is reached with a few suspended sentences, or basically bribed judge and politicians equals no punishment. These same people are gonna be shocked and beaten when the poor here rise up and go to town.

you don't believe it, I am not surprised. you never see it in the news, the news is censored, like JT, but I saw it last week. 800 homeless queuing for day jobs. Pay is 10,000 yen from government subsidy, but the Yaks who hire them for those construction jobs take half. after a while of enduring this, the 800 went mad, rioted, and the Yaks ran away, called the cops, and fire trucks arrived to spray them down. this happened. I saw it. I was there but it NEVER made the news....

how did I get too see this?...a homeless man lives under a bridge near my home. I buy him smokes occasionally and chat with him over a beer sometimes. so he told me, and I went, and I saw.
