Summary
Steve Lee Hayes, a 65-year-old American tourist, was arrested in Tokyo for allegedly carving family members’ names into a wooden Torii gate at the Meiji Shrine.
Surveillance footage led police to his hotel, where he was detained.
Hayes admitted to the act, which could result in up to three years in prison or a fine of 300,000 yen ($1,900).
The Meiji Shrine, a significant Shinto site, was built in 1920 to honor Emperor Meiji and Empress Shoken. The incident occurs amid a surge in international tourism to Japan this year.
It’s because he’s American and Lemmy loves to shit all over Americans.
M pretty sure the dude would still be a piece of shit regardless of what country he was shat from.
Yeah he would be, that’s not the point of my comment nor the point of the comment I replied to. Would he get the same comments this thread is giving this guy? Nah. Lemmy loves to hate on Americans. If he was German or Swedish, the amount of vitriol would be very much lessened.
refer to my reply to you, there is a reason people shit on americans
People generally shit on americans because they’ve earned a international representation of themselves that got even worser recently
We know not all of you americans are horrible but we still do like to shit on the horrible ones
