    This is truly idiotic. Here we see the true authoritarian face of the LDP government. Shame on them.

    Usually i love to bash on'them'japanese...

    But here they have a pretty big summit and a police force that is mainly trained to deal with lost cats and dudes trying to take upskirts picture without getting caught.

    If they can keep trouble outside. It's better for everybody.

    So you aren't allowed to participate in demonstrations in this country?

    YES, because it is a democratic country, 'Japanese' democracy.

    I'm all for freedom to protest, but when it comes to events like a G-8 Summit, some people get too "excited". There's always a lot of vandalism and mob activity during the G-8.
