TOKYO —

A 25-year-old graduate of the faculty of law at Tokyo University, who had been arrested for posting a threatening message on his blog against bureaucrats of the Ministry of Education last November, was on Tuesday charged with posting threatening messages against professors of the university.

Fumihiro Maeda was arrested again for posting messages on his blog saying he would kill three people at the university, including two female professors. Maeda was quoted by police as saying, “Professors intentionally hide facts and deceive students in their lectures. The Ministry of Education and Tokyo University are conspiring to keep children ignorant. ”

Maeda graduated from the university but has been unemployed, police said.

threatning the profs is not the best but i think he has a point cos there are few majors at uni which is really applicable in the real world .i think is about time we take a look into uni educ again to redifine its aims,goals and more

Perhaps this guy should hangout with the students at Keio. (See: Another Keio Student Arrested for Possessing Ganja in JT). He could use some chill out time. On the other hand, he got all the way through Tokyo University's law school and didn't know it was all a game? Too much time spent with his head in the books, juku, and extra lessons and not enough in something I like to call 'the real world.' Just a guess.

Maeda graduated from the university but has been unemployed, police said.

With his winning personality, I can't imagine why ...

But I look forward to the many defenders of the unemployed around here stepping up to explain how it's not really poor Mr. Maeda's fault he's such an asshat.

this happens when you take away the grass, they start having strange thought instead of chilling out

Why is the fact that 2 of the professors involved are female? Does it make it a worse crime than if they were male?

Well he is university graduate of law. Not all such people agree of what they teach them in faculty, it is only when they face reality of justice the table is turning different way. Sure he gave them a hell. Perhaps a word with shrink could clear up this matter.

Should be able to represent himself then.

It sounds like a conpiracy the University is trying to hide from the students. LOL

there is no reason to try and make a connection between them other than your usual trolling
