Korean Protestor Breaks Into Japanese Embassy

AP: Man Protests Sex Slaves at Japan Embassy
A South Korean activist scaled a wall of the Japanese Embassy on Wednesday and staged a brief protest of Tokyo's refusal to acknowledge it forced Korean and Chinese women to work as sex slaves during World War II. Oh Sung-taek stomped on a Japanese flag and shouted anti-Japanese slogans for 10 minutes atop one of the buildings before he was removed by police, witnesses and a police officer said. He wore a placard with a picture of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe that read: "Destroy History Distortion". Oh was among 100 protesters gathered outside the embassy for a rally that has been held every Wednesday since 1992 to demand that Japan apologize and compensate World War II sex slaves, also called "comfort women" for Japanese troops.

That doesn't mean anything. There are elements of these Korean and Chinese movements, that will demand an apology weekly and regardless of what is said by the J-government, will brand it incomplete or lacking in some aspect. There will be no satisfaction for those particular groups, because they are not really seeking one. This is just their banner for J-bashing.

There is a thread somewhere in FG that lists all the apologies, lacking or not, and it is a bit surprising to see how many there actually have been. It is also interesting to note that the war has only been over for 62 years this year and just how many of these people are claiming first hand knowledge of the carnage brought on by the Japanese military. I am not saying there were not horrorific things heaped on various peoples during the war, but I am wondering what the anti-Nippon lobbies are going to do when those who have a real claim to mistreatment die off. Who will they use for the rallying point then?

What a lightweight. Dedicated Korean protestors light themselves on fire or take a kitchen knife to the stomach.

Good point Pete! He could have at least did a swan dive off the roof when the heat arrived!
