It'v a good thing they cought the culprit. But Tachibana will probably become even more popular after this incident. While I totally get the anti-NHK sentiment, I don't think Tachibana has the answer to Japan's problems.

You're right.
I've often thought that the best way forward for him would have been to join a left leaning party with the caveat that his NHK policy is implemented by the party. Any left leaning party would gain to have him as he does have a sizable following.

There was a reason why the attack happened to him.
By the way..
Stop bullying NHK..

This is just libel.
He has never suggested that.
This false information was spread by Tachibana's rivals after taking a quote of him from a long discussion out of context, where he using a hypothetical to make the case that it is impossible to fully get rid of war in this world, by saying that unless you get commit genocide to get rid of all the people who give birth to a lot of kids, it was imposible, even stating that he thought that was not the solution.
It is incredible that you are spreading this misinformation about a politician that just survived a murder attempt. It almost seem like you are trying to inspire others to do the same.

What’s with all the knife crime?

Tachibana and his opponents need to learn a lesson from John Lennon. Give peace a chance. It worked well for Lennon in the 1970s.

Glad he's OK...so he can keep exposing NHK as a gaslighting propaganda wing of the LDP

No guns

If Miyanishi had had a gun then Tachibana would have suffered the same fate as John Lennon.

This demagogue spreads many falsehoods and insults to distort election or democracy everyday from social media and Youtube, Besides even inciting his believers to harass, and already corners plural person to suicide.
But they justify themselves, never stop harassments and falsehood and insults.
Somehow, police department or prosecutors do nothing.

what its "controversial" agitator repeats "destroying NHK" but that nuisance actually destroys democracy, not NHK.

NHK is a gaslighting wing of the LDP. That citizens can't comment on its website when their tax dollars pay for NHK is telling. Keep the public misinformed and compliant while we raid the public coffers and peddle piffle about the need to increase immigration...for our slush fund windfall while providing jack squat to the public...ie.daycare, food self-sufficiency, post secondary education for our youth, training for whatever jobs there will be when 50% of current jobs will have been rendered obsolete within the next 2 decades at minimum!

Exactly.
