Seriously, what is wrong with people [GRAPHIC TEXT]

[Dowly]

On November 22, 1989:
Junko Furuta was a girl in Japan who was held captive in a house by four boys. There, she was raped countless times, then tortured to death in unimaginable and incomprehensible ways for 44 days. She was 16 years old.

DAY 1: November 22, 1988: Kidnapped
Kept captive in house, and posed as one of boy's girlfriend
Raped (over 400 times in total)
Forced to call her parents and tell them she had run away
Starved and malnutritioned
Fed cockroaches to eat and urine to drink
Forced to masturbate
Forced to strip in front of others
Burned with cigarette lighters
Foreign objects inserted into her vagina/anus

DAY 11: December 1, 1988: Severely beat up countless times
Face held against concrete ground and jumped on
Hands tied to ceiling and body used as a punching bag
Nose filled with so much blood that she can only breath through her mouth
Dumbbells dropped onto her stomach
Vomited when tried to drink water (her stomach couldn't accept it)
Tried to escape and punished by cigarette burning on arms
Flammable liquid poured on her feet and legs, then lit on fire
Bottle inserted into her anus, causing injury

DAY 20: December10, 1989: Unable to walk properly due to severe leg burns
Beat with bamboo sticks
Fireworks inserted into anus and lit
Hands smashed by weights and fingernails cracked
Beaten with golf club
Cigarettes inserted into vagina
Beaten with iron rods repeatedly
Winter; forced outside to sleep in balcony
Skewers of grilled chicken inserted into her vagina and anus, causing bleeding

DAY 30: Hot wax dripped onto face
Eyelids burned by cigarette lighter
Stabbed with sewing needles in chest area
Left nipple cut and destroyed with pliers
Hot light bulb inserted into her vagina
Heavy bleeding from vagina due to scissors insertion
Unable to urinate properly
Injuries were so severe that it took over an hour for her to crawl downstairs and use the bathroom
Eardrums severely damaged
Extreme reduced brain size

DAY 40: Begged her torturers to "kill her and get it over with"

January 1, 1989: Junko greets the New Years Day alone
Body mutilated
Unable to move from the ground

DAY 44: January 4, 1989: The four boys beat her mutilated body with an iron barbell, using a loss at the game of Mah-jongg as a pretext. She is profusely bleeding from her mouth and nose. They put a candle's flame to her face and eyes.

Then, lighter fluid was poured onto her legs, arms, face and stomach, and then lit on fire. This final torture lasted for a time of two hours.

Junko Furuta died later that day, in pain and alone. Nothing could compare 44 days of suffering she had to go through.

When her mother heard the news and details of what had happened to her daughter, she fainted. She had to undergo a psychiatric outpatient treatment . Imagine her endless pain.

Her killers are now free men. Justice was never served, not even after 20 years.

I don't believe in heaven nor hell, but if there is hell, let them ------- burn there 'til end of time.

This +1

What the hell is wrong with these people. This is disgusting that they could have the gall to do anything this extreme.

This is a tragedy because they're able to walk free while her family suffers in agony at the thought of what she went through.

What the hell..

The sick part is, they probably think of themselves as real men walking around and strutting their stuff. Yeah they re real men alright for beating up a helpless tied up victim and torturing her for no particular reason at all. I know one thing, if I was older and had a daughter (Im 19) and this happened to her, I would make it my mission in life to hunt these sick bastards down and get them all.

not to be racist or anything

this sort of thing happens in japan quite a lot, I think it has to do with their society

[Alex]

Do you think so ?

[Torplexed]

I'd send them to clean up Fukushima with their tongues.

Actually you kind of are falling into totally unsupported stereotypes. Not that Japan's entertainment industry is doing it a lot of favours, but statistically rape and murder are far less prevalent there than in most Western countries. Rather, there is a greater tendency there to sensationalize this when it happens. Which by the way is precisely what that type of write-up is intended to do.

Not to say there's any lack of completely horrible stuff everywhere in the world. Sadly, you can find some of it in virtually any country in the world - something like this can never be explained rationally or culturally anyway, only total psychotic madness can drive people to rationalize something like this

At the same time though, it shouldn't take this much to outrage people. The average rapist or pleasure-killer isn't all that much better.

The difference between Japan and America is that you know that an American father, brother, uncle etc would spend their lives and their savings to kill those men. And be smiling when dragged to the courthouse.

Commonplace enough that we hear about it from time to time. We musn't forget that there is also good in the human race. Without that nobody would have to question the motives of those boys... we would already know by heart.


Maybe a better question would be: what drives me to do the right thing?

[kiwi_2005]

You would have to be seriously mental in the head to do that to another human being. Psychopaths.

Exactly!
The japanese entertainment industry and the explicity of the media is a proof that there is still something right about the catharsis theory.
At least it seems to be true in their society.
