Japanese Police Let Suspect Die from Smoking

Museum of the Hard to Believe:

A man douses himself with Kerosene. Police take him to their station, but can't get him to change his fuel soaked clothing.

Next he asks for a cigarette.
He gets one from the Police.
Next he asks for a lighter.
He gets one from the Police.

And next ....
Kero-soaked Japanese smoker dies in police questioning

A JAPANESE man arrested after dousing himself with kerosene died in a fireball after police who arrested him provided a lighter when he asked for a smoke.
Hifumi Kubota, 45, was taken for questioning to a police station in the central Japanese city of Nagoya on Saturday after a woman who was living with him told police that he was acting violently.
When officers came to his house, "he poured kerosene over himself in front of police", a police spokesman said.
Mr Kubota refused to change his kerosene-soaked clothes at the police station and asked to smoke during questioning, according to the Yomiuri Shimbun and other Japanese media.
Despite no-smoking rules in the building, a police official gave him a pack of cigarettes and a lighter.

When Mr Kubota stood up, his right knee was ablaze and he quickly turned into a fireball, the reports said.

It's "harakiri", you stupid fuck, and it's where you disembowel yourself, not set yourself on fire. Also, "suicide" in Japanese is "jisatsu". Don't act like you know what you're talking about...you're probably one of those nimrods who never went to Japan in the service and thought that Japan was nothing but rickshas and Geisha girls.

The good news is that I don't care how you say what in Japanese or how they kill them selves. And I also don't care if I ever went there or if I ever do, Just like other things or people I don't give a shit about.
