So the Olympics are barreling ahead. But why?
Start with billions of dollars at stake, a contract that overwhelmingly favors the IOC, and a decision by the Japanese government to stay the course, which might help Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga keep his job.
Remember folks...This isn't about YOU, this is all about the ¥, and the PM with his selfish agenda.

They should have put spike stripels behind his car or janned his tires with a knofe while he was still in the parking lot. Then ise their metal stick they carry, break the window and pull him out. This could have been avoided if they just used a little non-lethal force. But no, they rather sit there for 6 hours asking the man nicely to please come out.

This causes total confusion for the Japanese. This is the j-gov't onve again doing a half @ss job, with half @aa measures. There is no balance! There are two choices:
Lock it down-Virus can't spread
Open it and have the virus spreadAt this point the gov't has lost their mind and has become completely clueless as to what they should do.

They refused to leave and then wanted out? I understand locking the door when they refused to leave, but when they decided they wanted out, then open the door and let them out! Here is a better idea..don't put them in the facility in the first place. While they are waiting to be in front or a judge or whatever process, let them oit and give them an ankle monitor!
