Are those people french indeed or do they just happen to have french citizenship, but are actually foreign-bound people ?

Anyway, those people should be shameful and punished.
And doubly so if they are giving japanese police a lesson…

“The boys have admitted their guilt, telling police that Japanese people should not be so trusting of others.” – So it’s Japanese fault, huh?

I’ve been there in Japan once and I could proudly say that they’re so honest. You can leave your belongings anywhere and you’ll be surprised that no one will dare get it.

I’m French and I find their behavior really lamentable. I hope they will go in jail in order to have a reflection concerning their childish facts. I have the bad impression that the French begin to have a bad behavior in foreign countries (the kidnapper in Mexico, the evil father in Italy etc…)

Do they know their names ?

Great, you 16-yr old dumbasses. You just fucked up whatever vestiges of hospitality that the Japanese may have had for French customers for the next ten years.

This is seriously how shit like racial profiling begins, because of a couple of idiots trying to rook the system.

I’m french and I just have one thing to say, idiots like them should just taste one month of japanese jail before getting banned from Japan for at least 10 years…
“shouldn’t be so trusty of others” Fuck you! I can’t stand all the control in France anymore because of idiots like them. Get them a real punition.

Does anyone know what is the fate of the french thieves? Probably a bunch of “jeunes puceaux”.

I hope they get banned from Japan for at least 5 years and get waved off by those cute cute cute akihabara maid girls at the airport. I could die laughing. And so would most Japanese too…

Probably they go to a french school in Asakusabashi or Iidabashi. Often see a few French kids passing through Akiba on the Sobu line.

BTW the video shows aluminum foil…either they were using it to shield the anti-theft devices or they share a fondness for baking.

“that’s why they have a lot of hatred against religious people”

Or it could be because they have seen first-hand the effects of religious extremism and do not want that ever again. Religious people are just as greedy, selfish, and amoral as the French – check out the televangelist scandals, for example.

The first rule of humour is that it must actually be *funny* – this is just shock value stuff. If you want funny humour about the Germans and the war, then watch Fawlty Towers. In fact watch it anyway.

Japanese people should not be so trusting of others?

Newsflash. Japan is one of the few places remaining in the world where people can actually trust others in situations like this.

These teenage idiots have no concept of long term consequences.

All they did was contribute to making japanese people not trust others in a society which provides a unique experience where things aren’t as messed up as they are in other places of the world.

I imagine some day japan will never trust anyone with idiots like these trying to “prove a point” to japan because japan doesn’t “conform” to their idea of how the world should be.

Humanity, what a waste.

16 year old international school students in Tokyo. Pretty much says it all; retarded rich kids.

But don’t worry French haters, I can confirm we’ve got quite a few similar idiots over here, minus the rich part – so they’re still representative to some extent.

Yup, how else would 16-year -olds be living in Japan except the spoiled rich kids type?

But still,CONSOLES? Wow.

Although, being French, I’m sure they surrendered without a fight.

Another part of the problem is tracable to the shift to part-time workers who don’t get bonuses.. A part-timer getting 750 yen an hour doesn’t give a shit if thieves are walking out the door with stolen goods, not worth thte stress or possible danger from a confrontation, not even worth the effort to pick up a phone and dial the police, or even tell your manager..for 750 yen an hour. Heck the part-time employees probably steal shit, too.

A full time worker whose bonus depends on the company profits DOES care when the company loses money through theft. Management only has themselves to blame, but will they be fired, or can they use “those damn gaijin” as an excuse for their incompetence?

Well, expect more staff than usual to take sudden interest in aligning already-organized products on the shelves immeidately next to you.
