Japanese Band Shows Beheading Of Hostage At Concert
- Dec. 28, 2004
|
|
News.com.au is reporting that a Japanese broadcaster has voiced anger and apologized after sponsoring a weekend concert at which a rock band played the Internet footage showing the beheading of a Japanese hostage in Iraq. Tokyo Broadcasting System said it had no forewarning of the stunt. "Showing this kind of video in public can never be forgiven on humanitarian grounds," the network said in a statement. "As the sponsor, we offer deep apologies to the family of ( Shosei) Koda, people who came to the concert and other people concerned," the statement said, without naming the band that showed the video. Footage of Islamic militants decapitating the 24-year-old backpacker was shown on a large screen during Sunday's concert in Urayasu, the city east of Tokyo that hosts Tokyo Disneyland. KLACK, a Japanese band that was one of 12 groups featured in the concert, showed the video for more than 10 minutes, local media reported. Koda, described as a gentle but naive young man, became Japan's only hostage executed in Iraq after travelling to Baghdad as a tourist and searching aimlessly for a hotel. An al-Qaeda linked group associated with Iraq's most wanted man, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, posted a video on the Internet demanding that Japan withdraw its troops from Iraq within 48 hours. The demand was rejected by Tokyo. A week later, the group released footage of three hooded men pouncing on Koda and beheading him.

1) Terrorists kidnap Japanese Citizen and threaten to behead him unless Japan meets their demands
2) Japan doesn't negotiate with terrorists.
3) Terrorists follow through with threat.
So now an outspoken Japanese band reminds the people of its government's fuckup. Perhaps they need to be reminded.

I love how you people are so quick all the time to blame governments and such while putting no blame or personal responisibility on anyone.
READ AGAIN:
"Koda, described as a gentle but naive young man, became Japan's only hostage executed in Iraq after travelling to Baghdad as a tourist and searching aimlessly for a hotel."
A TOURIST? A TOURIST?!!!!!!!! HOTEL?!
Don't you people realize that war or no war, these terrorists will go after anyone and everyone they can? They hate you and they hate me. They hate everyone and have no qualms about brutally killing someone outside their own kind. That's why we are there. But, you people don't get that concept. Have fun with all your leftist conspiracy theories which you will never prove.

And what Iraqi's have said this? The ones you see on CNN? Do you ever bother to think why and in what context they say things? Regime change happened only very recently. These people must live in fear for the moment about Saddam coming back to get them. Don't forget, he was in power for many decades.

Well, the ones that are saying the Japs should have negotiated. NO COUNTRY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WILL NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS. Think about it, if you give in to one, you have to give in to all. If this is a form of protest, its a pretty lame one. Anyone who uses the dead as their crutch (micheal moore) probably doesnt have a valid point anyway.

Drop the stupid '80s movie catch phrase. We (the U.S.) have been negotiating & dealing with terrorists for hundreds of years & are doing it today. Sometimes it works & sometimes it does not......Anywho, if the guy wasn't a spy or looking to make $ writing a book he must have been a retard wandering around in Iraq since his country helped invade & occupy. The risks were well known to all reading the news...

It was tasteless to show the video of a man getting beheaded during the bands performance. If you have to show graphic images like that to get the audience attention then you need to be focusing on your musical writing skills instead.
That being said, I would argue that the American military are far worst in the atrocities that they have committed then the terrorist themselves. The terrorist of Al-Qaeda killed 3,000, which itself is a horrendous act, but America had committed an ever greater atrocities in Iraq in the name of freedom. The British medical journal the Lancet has reported that approximately 100,000 Iraqi civilians have died due to the American invasion of Iraq. A United Nations report released in November 2004 found that severe malnutrition in Iraqi children had almost doubled since the U.S. invasion. Evan greater atrocities were committed by US force in Vietnam. If this is how America spreads freedom, hopefully this will be the last time. I don’t think the world deserves anymore in the form that America is delivering it.
Iraq is in a state of chaos today and America leaving would in some regard help stabilize the country. The insurgence would lose its purpose to fight the American military. Iraqis fighting each other would pale in comparison to the destruction that that US military have caused to Fallujah.

bonscott... you've seemed to have your arguments well thought out. But you're wrong. you're speaking only on America's terms. What about the Iraqis? are you so sure they wanted a democracy influenced by another country? it's almost like forcing democracy on a country... and this makes it an invasion. INVASION. and i stress that iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. This whole iraq thing is just business. with thousands of lives thrown in.
Not every country/culture is suited to have a democracy like the states. different things works for different people.
Mr bonscott aka the real elvis... you probably think you're very smart. but you're just good at invoking the Americans to agree with you. But remember... the world is not just America.

fucking losers.
as for this war on terror, first off....I don't take sides but I really don't agree with what GW is doing in Iraq. This war was basically triggered by 9/11 and we all know that OBL was the real culprit in that. When the U.S. went to war in Afghan, I was all for it...OBL was in Afghan, no prob in going in there and kill the terrorist bastards. But after, a sudden switch to Iraq? And Saddam's regime was crippled and Bush kept saying that he was getting his hands on WMD. Nowadays, I rarely hear GW ever mention Osama Bin Laden...what is he thinking? this president doesn't know his priorities.

Oh but the 'elections' will set things straight just like 'shock & awe', the taking of Baghdad, death of Saddam's sons, Capture of Saddam, the deck of cards 'terrorist' captures, the puppet gov't 'Sovereignty', breaking the insurgency's back in Fallujah,etc..........let me guess "We're turning the corner."

is not exactly the best spot to pick for a vacation.
Anybody dumb enough to vacation in a war zone isn't losing much by being decapitated. His cranium was probably empty, anyhow.
And fo a band to display this during a performance? Sure, in a free country, why not? Freedom of speech means having the freedom to potentially offend some people. It also means those people are free to complain. But to stop it (the showing of the video) is censorship.
The more people are confronted with the atrocities of war, the more likely one of two things will happen:
1) citizens of the world will unite against the barbarism of war
or
2)people will just be de-sensitized to the violence.
The second option is more likely.

The real reason we're in Iraq is for revenge, oil or any of that cliche bullshit liberal crap that you've been forced to swallow so taht you can seem as "intelligent." We're in Iraq because they broke a treaty of letting U.N. inspectors in to check if they had any WMD's , which was established at the end of the last Gulf War. At the same time Hussein was planning how to hide these weapons in the dessert. It took nearly 3 months to hide them, or atleast thats what one of those Iraqi former government officials said. But think about it a dessert in which we are not familiar with, tehy hid the weapons and it took them 3 months to hide them, they didnt mark or keep any records of where they were hidden, imagin how long it will take us to find them. They're there. Its just the liberal media CNN, MSNBC, and what not, that makes you guys believe "well its all for oil and revenge of his daddy."
next time you look at this info thats given to you on the news look a little farther into it.

It seems to me that the only ones who should be apologizing is the Japanese government for not pulling the fuck out of Iraq. The only alternative to showing this video is simply burying it with the rest of the news. Although it is a disgrace to the memory of the man beheaded. Maybe the band was trying to make a statement or maybe they were just sick fucks. Until I know, I will reserve judgment on this one.

The band who did it hasn't been charged/punished for violating any laws. What we have here is the person in charge of the concert apologizing because he disagrees with what they did. That's all. No one is saying they shouldn't be able to do it, but rather that they should've shown common human decency and not done so.
Which is the real issue here, common decency. While the reason behind the 'stunt' is not known - it doesn't matter. Whatever they were trying to do - they could've done another way without disrespecting the family of the victim. The 'news' is out of hand with the atrocities they show, but you kind of expect it these days. However, a concert - regardless of whatever fucked up message they wanted to send - is not the place for such things. Concerts are for entertainment - especially a large multi-band event like this.
The victim may have been a tool for 'vacationing' in Iraq - but that doesn't mean his family should have to constantly suffer.
Of course the Japanese goverment did the right thing by not giving into the terrorist demands. To say otherwise is simply fucking ignorant. If they had backed out - the terrorists would simply continue making similair threats in order to get their way. It would never end. The only way to make sure that it stops is to remove the terrorists altogether.
...and yes, they are terrorists.

That is the reason Bush gave to go to war with iraq in the first place, because saddam broke the UN treaty after the first gulf war. You aren’t telling us anything new. America had spy satellites taking pictures of every square foot of Iraq leading to the war. If Saddam was moving weapons into the desert, I think the government would have a good idea of where they are. It was intelligence failure of the CIA that told bush that they have WDM. As Tenet told Bush, “it’s a slam dunk!”

Thier governments dont openly support terrorism and its not like insurgents wear a uniform. That is the 1st reason why the laws of the Geneva convention should not apply to any of them. I never said nuke the towelheads so get your fucking posts staight you brainless fucking turd. If my wisdom misleads you I would say that is because your brain is like a colander. It leaks...it has holes in it. You can't get the facts straight. You are such a brainless sheep that you just follow the logic that sounds easiest without thinking it through for yourself.
So now you think we should invade these countries based on the fact that their private citizens, of thier own free will, decide to fight against the coalition in Iraq? Actually I think we should stomp Iran and syria. We have some problems there that we created and now need to clean up? Do you think China sees N. Korea as a threat? Who do you think N. Korea is more of a threat to mainland U.S. or China. If there is an arms race in Asia who will it be between? Remember...It takes 2 people to have a race and If one is N. Korea...the other would be...you see if you can tell me knife.

with what the band did, but I support their right to express an opinion. There really aren't enough details as to the motive behind showing the beheading, so, making any judgement is impossible without more information. It's certainly an unpleasant occurence, but there are alot of things to consider before condemning this as 'wrong'. And to compare this to the magazine that put that morbid pic of Dimebag on their cover? There's a difference between political motives, entertainment shock-value, and simply selling a story to make a buck and passing it off as 'powerful, hard-hitting journalism'.

............anyone thinking that Saddam was just a tyrant and not a terrorist does not have the facts. Saddam took control of Iraq with terrorist actions. Not the least of which was calling a meeting of hundreds of the highest ranking Iraqi government and military officials when he first took Iraq through a military coup. He then brandished a list of upwards of 100 people who had spoken against him. While Saddam sat on his stage, feet kicked up and smoking cigars, he had his men read the names of these people 1 at a time whereupon they were taken out of the crowd and 'dealt with'. Not 1 person on that list has ever been heard from again. (This was all videotaped). We probably just dug their bodies up in one of the hundreds of mass graves we've found over there (only the ones we've FOUND). If leading a country through the fear of annhilation is only considered a tyrannical act, we would be as naive as the person who posted Saddam is just a tyrant. These acts are called genocide and feed the hand of terror - therefore Saddam is a terrorist. His acts of aggression against his own people and neighbors (Kuwait and Iran to name a couple) are legendary and his victims lie in the hundreds of thousands (maybe millions). Yet people still think this was a plot thought up by President Bush. How stupid can you be??? Did you ever wonder why warlords controlled much of Iraq outside of the biggest cities??? Because Saddam turned his back on their behavior and by ignoring it, he condoned it. For God's sake, he let his son torture the Iraqi National Soccer Team because they didn't do well in the World Cup. C'mon, use your brain instead of the mindless rant of some Democrat on television.

to everyone who sees nothing wrong with the band showing the video and/or think the poor guy deserved it. Would it be okay if Linkin Park showed a video of Dimebag's murder on stage?

Unfortunately, it is their right. Would it be tasteless?? Yes. However, the message would be different. Obviously these Japanese morons think they are making a political statement and I believe they should have the right to make this statement. I also have the right to make the following statement:Klack not only has used poor judgement in showing this video, their obviously non-matured reasoning has shown that their political opinions are not worthy of a second thought. In translation:you stupid fucks, have some respect for the families of this poor soul.

I saw them open for crue. They blew crue out. Crue had the bigger stage though. Hard to compete with that production.

cornelius proves on every thread that he's an immature fool. Just read any of his posts. You should be ashamed to associate Pantera with your delusional asshat rantings.

The USA supported Saddam's terrorist actions when he took the power in Iraq, isn't Fox news letting you all know that??
Actually the USA supported Saddam in a very long time, it wasn't until he kicked the American companies out of his country and nationalized the oil industry they started to go hostile on him.
It happened in the same way in Afghanistan. Osama was an ally to the US in the fight against communism, you trained him and gave him weapons. The training and the weapons made it possible for him to murder 3000 innocent people.

The band is just a bunch of moorons. If you heard their sounds you could tell. They are totally nameless. They just did this for a self-advertisement!! The kids didnt even think how serious this gonna be...Tons of japanese websites are blaming about them rightnow.
They wont be punished by law but they would get a massive punishment from the media.
I'm sure they would never be able to play a show anymore.
If you could read japanese take a look.

KLacK is a cool band. regardless. they are a japanese sexpistols.. they are ruthless skuzzy punks who dont give a fuc*ing shit about anything cept how messed up this world is. they go were few bands dare not.
there music may not be great they many not play thier instruments well.but they have attitude.
Also previous before this situation.. they were featured monthly in a japanese music magazine known as CURE/FOOLS MATE but were banned from ever being in it again.
Dont judge this band.
