7 death row Aum cult members moved from Tokyo detention center

FINALLY, after more than 20 years the sentences have been finalized and closure can come for all the victims, their families, and the country as a whole!

I am not an advocate of the death penalty, however there are cases, in my opinion, where it serves a purpose, and THIS is one. I highly doubt these people can be rehabilitated back into society, many if not all were rather well educated and KNEW what they were doing!

They have been living off the taxpayers money long enough. It's time to end it!

people like them do not need to live in the society i wonder why they had to keep them this long before execution, they are heartless.

Gas vice Hanging is more approbate way to end their lives on earth.

The death penalty needs to be abolished in Japan.

"members of the doomsday cult" "that left 29 people dead"

SMH a very dangerous innocent public suffering.

I did not know my city had the ability for the procedure. * Fukuoka.

Judging from past executions. It will be done and over with quickly.

This type of punishment is not something you are in support of or not.

You either support it or you do not. I fully support it. These animals committed a heinous terrorist attack on

unsuspecting Japanese citizens going to work. Using an agonizing gas.

Kniknaknokkaer Said it best.

Hanging is from another century

Barbaric and outdated, the death penalty is unbecoming of a supposedly "advanced" country.

@zichi

Thank you, for pointing that out. I am tired of people saying they don't want to "waste their taxes" when the death penalty costs more in the end.

EU has a strong anti-capital punishment policy and will not sign FTAs with countries that maintain death penalty.

If Japan mass executes Aum followers now, then the EU-Japan FTA is doomed.

These terrorists deserve execution

One Japanese lawyer I talked to said that every morning prisoners on death row are extremely nervous about whether today is the day they're to be hanged. As the morning approaches noon they breathe a sigh of relief only to relive the whole experience the next morning and the next, etc., etc. Those on death row never know until the morning of the execution.

I don't feel any sympathy for these killers, but it'd be really weird to live through the exact same stream of emotions and anxiety every morning. Kind of like that movie Groundhog Day with Bill Murray.

Judging from past executions. It will be done and over with quickly.

Judging from history here, I can tell you know little of how things are here. It could be sooner, but more likely later, or never, and they die in prison.

I'd be willing to bet that more people die here on death row, rather than by having their sentences carried out. Or it's at least 50/50.

Big blue sheets lmao.

Executions will not bring back the victims.

Maybe they are planning to execute them all on the same day which is why they are spread to different execution facilities

It's absolutely amazing that no one has remarked on the the timing of this move of Aum

members from the Tokyo Detention House. Coinciding neatly with the 'Moritomo scandal'

and questions about Prime Minister Abe and Finance Minister Aso's honesty, this move

is clearly meant to deflect the public's attention. Cynical politicians!

If they wanted to be cost effective with the executions. They would build an air tight room with multiple holding tables lining the room then suck all the oxygen from the room that way the kill the most number of death row inmates while lowering the cost of the executions.

GoodlucktoyouToday

Hanging is from another century

so was their crime

Executions will not bring back the victims.

No but it will at least end their free ride on my tax money for their crimes!
