Can understand but can't sympathize with his feeling, such cases are likely to increase in near future.

What the hell's he complaining about? He knew the system! He had the chance to save his money during his lifetime...but I guess he forgot that he has the right to protest and demand better from his own government! Probably complaining because he doesn't have enough to go to pachinko!
