Satoshi Uematsu: Japanese man who killed 19 disabled people sentenced to death

A Japanese man has been sentenced to death for a stabbing rampage in 2016 which resulted in the death of 19 disabled people at a care home.

Satoshi Uematsu said people with disabilities who were unable to communicate well had no human rights, said broadcaster Kyodo.The case is one of Japan's worst mass killings and has shocked people in a country where violent crime is rare. In an earlier interview with Japan's Mainichi Shimbun newspaper, Uematsu had said there was"no point in living" for people with mental disabilities and that he"had to do it for the sake of society".Uematsu previously said he did not plan to appeal against any verdict or sentence.During the trial earlier this year, the former employee of the Sagamihara care home did not dispute that he stabbed his victims.

But his defence team pleaded not guilty, citing their client's mental state. They said he had been under the influence of drugs at the time."He was in a condition in which either he had no capacity to take responsibility or such a capacity was significantly weakened."Prosecutors though insisted Uematsu was mentally competent and that the rampage was"inhumane" and left"no room for leniency".

I don't begin to understand how Boyling hides in plain sight.

He is mentally disabled for his actions!!

Should do this in the uk but nope because of the lefty do gooders we wont

This is that eugenics belief and we can all see how insane this person is, but when the person was Andrew Sabisky many people supported him and his beliefs what does that tell you? All are equally insane because they wish to justify mass murder, just some wish it from the womb.

WTF?! What a shitty society

Hopefully sooner than later!

A fascinating case for forensic psychiatry though.

'He abused marijuana'....... Is a defense only someone who has never smoked it could come up with...... Lol...... 😂 😂 😂

Seems reasonable

Good

Use him for coronavirus vaccine trials

God I wish we still had the death penalty. As soon as someone is convicted of their crimes with NO reasonable doubt just one BANG in the back of the head live on tv

In the UK the 'withdrawing treatment' is practised which is close to what Satoshi Uematsu advocated in his letters to the authorities: namely 'forced euthanasia of disabled people'. People are disgusted with his stabbings, rightly so, but the 'wt' doesn't seem to bother many.

Bring it back here now.

Viva death penalty.

Satoshi means Saint.

Good job, Japan. In Canada, he'd be out in 25 years.

He damn it

Ian Duncan Smith: Hold my beer

Discrimination against disabled people isn't uncommon in Japan.
