Koichi Toyama Fought the Law (and the Law Won)

October 5th, 2007 by James

Koichi Toyama, the revolutionary fascist who gained huge internet fame after running as a candidate in the Tokyo gubernatorial race under a platform that called for the destruction of Japan, has been ordered to pay a 120,000 yen fine for a traffic violation:

The penalty, which came after Toyama was apprehended for speeding the wrong way down a one-way street, was eight times heavier than the 15,000 yen fine that public prosecutors had demanded.

In handing down the ruling, the court said the fine demanded by public prosecutors was far too light.

According to the charges against him, Toyama rode a motorcycle the wrong way down a one-way street in Kagoshima, traveling at 50 kilometers per hour — 20 kilometers per hour over the speed limit.

“He selfishly stated that he didn’t have to comply with evil laws, and did not show the slightest regret for his actions,” Judge Ichikawa Watanabe said.

Toyama failed to comply with a police summons and he was arrested in June. He was taken to court after he refused to speak following his arrest.

Toyama will be appealing the decision.

If you aren’t familiar with Toyama and his politics, here’s his famous campaign speech:

Hah, yeah, his voice is great. He practiced his seikenhousou well. He sounds like some of the other politicians who have similarly practiced, if not forced, speeches. I think that is apart of the joke.

Its great if you ask me. Whether he means it all or not, its great entertainment. :-)
