Glorious Nippon suddenly seems less glorious when these fucking losers remember that they still have laws. Also is it normal for them to avoid naming a 36 year old man? It's not like he's a minor.
That's one of the good parts of the system. The accused deserve privacy.
That always happens in Japan, where the suspects aren't named in police reports to the media. Tetsuya Yamagami's name wasn't known for a few days after the assassination if I remember right (guy who shot Shinzo Abe). The person who set fire to KyoAni is still unknown. I was once told it had something to do with how japanese law enforcement will send cops to tail criminals for a while after the crime, but I have no idea. I don't know the specifics.
I'm pretty sure they named the KyoAni guy, he's getting the death penalty I think
Oh, you're right. His name is Shinji Aoba. Everything I read about him suggests he's incredibly depressed and mentally ill. He's a murderer but he's clearly not in his right mind, so the death penalty seems overwhelmingly harsh.
