Weird.

Why would it take 3 months?

’Are you crazy?’

’I’m not crazy! The world is crazy!!’

got him.

His action last month proved that he doesn't agree with current government while the rest normal Japanese agree with their government no matter what. So anyone who doesn't agree with current government in Japan will risk to go to psychiatric evaluation, whether can be considered as normal sane person or no.

They first charged him with the lesser crime "on suspicion of obstructing business" and kept him locked up for 3 weeks (hoping he would confess) and since he remained silent the whole time, they decided to charge him with "suspicion of violating the firearms control law by manufacturing explosives" to be able to keep him locked up for another 3 weeks. Japans forced confession tactics at its best.

3 months?

Me : Why did you do it?

Kimura : The angry giraffe behind the TV told me to do it!

Me : Welp......my job here is done! 2 straight jackets for him, please!

3 months psych evaluation at the expense of us tax payers is not necessary. He knew what he did and he had a reason. I'd say its pre-meditated.

Everyone has forgotten about this lol. Sorry Kishida, your attack wasn’t even worth 15 minutes of fame

What is going on here? Not only does the attack look like a copy cat, but the whole story looks like a carbon copy of Abe's assassination. Not a single word on the progress of the investigation of last years incident for months! Seems like this incident conveniently fills the void. And next, we will have the same story about the Okinawa:n woman?

Righteous

Confess to what? There are literally hundreds of eye witnesses, physical evidence, caught red-handed. Like walking in on your wife in bed naked with the milkman. No need for a confession

That's what the Jpolice does! Beat a dead stick with a horse to make it look like work!

Prosecutors will stop at nothing to keep any suspect detained and isolated before trail. They like to have vegetables in court, it is far more convenient to sway Japan's imbecile, rubber stamping judges.

Anyone who does something this dastardly is obviously mentally Ill in some respect. Was he completely bonkers and unaware of the implications of everything with voices in his nut etc or was he just annoyed and his emotions went hay wire. I guess only time will tell, let’s see

a request from prosecutors to keep Ryuji Kimura detained for the examination, expected to begin soon, to fully assess his mental state at the time of the attack.

totemo yasashii, Japanese prosecutors :)

Its a pity they are not that much worried about the mental state of all other criminals they prosecuted before...

After his test mark my words he'll be released justified by something and a bad movie will finally see its logical finale :)

They will torture him psychologically for three months.

The justice system is cruel and unusual in Japan.

The authorities in Japan (police and prosecutors) are extremely good at "gas lighting". They are desperate to get Men's Rea.
