Are these the nutjobs following Kota Kinoshita?
I don't know who's nuttier, the protesters or the city that doesn't even have someone trained in radioactive material handling but simply decided they will just burn the debris without bothering to tell the residents.
Shame on the Japanese government.
Glad to see the Japanese standing up to the fuckwits who run Japan..also good to see not everyone in Japan is in a stupor and the penny has dropped that they are all going to be slowly poisoned by their government...
Slowly? Surely you jest.
I find the pregnant woman to be far braver than any of the employees on hand. She shows true courage.
Is it not illegal to move or disturb such waste around a pregnant woman? Clearly she has no protective equipment in her possession.
The police may be breaking their government's own laws. There is no honor among thieves. Cowards!
laprimavera: Please let us know if there is a legal defense fund. These patriots deserve whatever support we can offer. May God bless them all.
Happy to see people looking down the barrel of the gun and telling the government to fuck off ! I bet this doesn't even make the TV news in Japan , or it will be just given a glancing report maybe.. Come on Kita Kyushu show em what your made of !
At least it's been covered in asahi: http://www.asahi.com/national/update/0522/SEB201205220013.html?ref=rss
I hope this is just the start and the Japanese start throwing their spears at the government. I saw them measuring radiation as the trucks approached. There goes Hosono's argument. Stand up Japan and bring the government to its knees.
I would also like to see the Japanese take down the fake Japanese expats. They are doing nothing but adding to the destruction. Luckily, they are just a handful of idiots hanging on to their paychecks here. Does 我田引水 ring a bell?
According to Fukushima Diary, radiation measured around the truck jumped "from 0.06 to 0.612 μSv/h". "After the truck left, it went down to 0.098 μSv/h again".
"Not radioactive" my ass. They should ignite that stuff in government personnel bedrooms. Let them enjoy some radioactive incense.
So what happened? Did everyone get arrested? Did the trucks finally get to enter or were they turned back? Getting differing info in the media.
From what I read on Fukushima Diary, it sounded like the trucks dumped the cargo and then left. The measurement was taken after the truck had unloaded... so who knows how much more radioactive it was with the cargo onboard?
That's the way to go! It's clear that the Japanese oligarchy is used to do as they want and they need to be confronted to a massive citizen movement to change that. It's also the only thing that Japanese citizens can do: that or be slaughtered like radioactive sheep.
Go, Japanese People in Resistance!
Is it merely coincidence that one percent of the population are psychotic?
They are burning it on the west coast??? 22 truckloads iirc. The police don't even take respiratory masks. Suicide mission, eh? How much does it pay? Can i keep putting nutritious nucleotides on the table every night for me, the wife and the kid? Pick me, coach!
Oh, so the video is "Off Air", eh?
The hyperdimensional scissors at work again, perhaps?
The video link was valid during the live cast only. They are archiving it, but since IWJ is a subscription site it will be available to subscribers only once archived.
Anon 12:12...why do you automatically name call protesters as "nuttier"? Why are they silly people to you? Perhaps they should stay home and let the government continue its way and not offend you. After all, do you live in Kita Kyushu? Perhaps you should reconsider your words in the future.
These brave people make me regain hope that Japan is not lost yet.
Let's hope this is the start of mass protests and a new era of citizen awareness that makes it impossible to govern Japanese people like animals for slaughter.
In Germany it started in a similiar manner and scale in the early 1970s, paving the way to the German nuclear exit last year, done by just these political parties who once pressed to install nuclear.
I am sure the Japanese will be way faster when they just started to move!
Big respect and many thanks to these brave citizens!
Big respect and thanks to LaPrimavera and the others who keep informing people about what is going on, and so actually being the spearhead of the nuclear-critical citizen movement!
Truck radiation.
