in my country, everyone would appear as “idiots”. it would be much harder to find these “idiots” cause everyone will waving and smiling or even making peace sign in front of news broadcaster.

idiots.
i wouldn’t make the effort to make a video about it.
but they sure should be ashamed.
it wouldn’t bother me if it’s something like a weather report.

Please stop thinking that 2ch is somehow connected to 4chan.
Beyond the whole anonymity thing, it’s a much different culture.

I have to wonder, how many out of the people here who are expressing their disgust with 2ch have actually used it and have had a bad experience? Or are you just retelling what you’ve heard elsewhere online how 2ch is the apex of online immorality?

As for the idiots waving at Mom on TV, I couldn’t care less what happens to them since I do agree, they were asking for it. Now is it acceptable to start up an Internet manhunt for their “transgressions”? Questionable. Is it acceptable for these peoples’ lives to be made miserable for some time on? Join me pointing and laughing any time you feel like it.

Yes, I’m quite aware I’m an asshole myself.

It’s like 4chan, except 4chan targets legit targets sometimes.

Idiots will be idiots, and I think some of them silently approved of the murder on 2ch methinks?

Very sad that these people can’t even show a bit of respect and regard for the reporting of what went on in Akihabara that day.

what about going after the shameless cameramen that film blood stained sidewalks and people lying in a pool of blood? . . .personally, I think that those people who are posing just are clueless and don’t need to be part of some internet witch hunt. there are better ways of spending one’s time.

It’s a shame people people did such stupid things on camera, but in all reality, exposing them to the internet mob will just lead to more gas suicide cases.

what’s wrong with looking at the camera anyway? They’re not doing any harm to anyone. I bet people there are also people around the world who would do the same thing in front of a live TV camera. People on 2ch should pity these guys. Ridiculing them on youtube and the entire 2ch forum, they dont deserve such harsh treatment.

I imagine that to be able to attack someone mercilessly from behind the shield of righteousness as well as anonymity and share the experience with all your cyberspace comrades must be awfully gratifying.
This isn’t anything new on 2ch … it’s only that Japan Probe is picking up on this particular case this time around.

Oh my God, I myself railed at the shameless idiots but I didn’t think that some Japanese would be this pissed. And 2-chan, of all groups of people to be pissed.

The same thing happened when during the reporting of the Jun Hase murder in ’97. Idiots will be idiots. And having been near the scene of on-the-street reporting numerous times, I can safely say that if you’re there for more than 10 seconds, you know pretty much what is going on. If you can’t hear the reporting, you can at least see and hear all the ambulances, fire trucks, police cars, people crying/screaming/talking, etc…No excuses for those morons.

All reporting is “live” and this particular reporting took place after the cleanup, perhaps some of these fools were not even aware of what had transpired there that day in the hours before they had arrived.

If you can read Japanese, visit this site.

It is the Japan’s largest BBS, which is ugly and stupid in nature.

The idiot who was praying at one of the scenes in this tragedy is a fraud and should be called on it. I think this wanted video is a bad idea, I don’t think we should give them more air time as it is…

To let their family, and/or co-workers know that they find people being murdered amusing?

I agree. People make mistakes. Stupid ones. REALLY STUPID ones. But those type of people need to grow up and simply aren’t worth the time. Isn’t it better to do all you can for the grieving families then go off on people who can’t stand to miss out on 15 minutes of fame?

Could someone please explain to me (and any outsider) what this “2 channel” site/forum is all about???

Perhaps these are small town people (from Yamaoku or Inaka) in the big city for the first time, and not accustomed to such a big event.

Of course, since Akihabara is the place for electronic stuff they are drooling over the fancy big city TV equipment.

It’s the same thing here in Phoenix Arizona USA we have people waving at the camera during serious news events. It’s today’s youth they have no feelings at all!

Look like a bunch of half-wits – and unfortunately you can’t expect idiots to act like normal people. Giving them a good beating won’t do any good.

One of my questions is: Do they know that the reporters are reporting the mass killing? We all know about the mass killing before seeing the video. But maybe these people have no clue? We have no way of telling.

People do stupid things in front of crowds. News at 11.

Going after these people seems criminal to me though, exposing them to an internet mob seems far worse than acting like an idiot in front of the camera.
