Protest + Poo in Shinjuku

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

 

Yesterday on a sunny afternoon, I went to Shinjuku and decided to snap some random photos around for another new Random Walk that I had decided to post it on my next article. However during that time, When I was about to go around and snap some random pictures near Shinjuku JR station, I saw some exotic act and event being done there. The road was off-limits to vehicles between that time for people to walk/cross the road. Large amount of people can be seen around during that day.

First thing I wanted to show you guys are the exotic act done by the group of youngster. They are protesting against the current Prime Minister Taro Aso which they want him to get out of the political and resign. They were shouting ” Aso Get out! ” and ” Aso Leave ” while holding a bunch of protest banners walking around in groups.

There are more of the youngster in a group protesting against him. There are alot of Taro Aso faces being put out at the protest banners.

I don’t know where they start their protesting destination from but what I see on their banner wrriten that the protesting ends in Shinjuku.

There are alot of people taking out their video and digi camera just to record/take this protest scenes. There are few of the TV station crews are also busy recording this.

These guys are trying to record the scene and I heard them talking about the conflict between the current economy and law. Must be a mess. ^^;;

After few minutes later, some the protester leave the scene like it never happened before. I was surprised to see how they are so angry and motivated on this protest against Taro Aso until suddenly after the protesting is over, they leave the place just like a normal and act like nothing happens just a while ago. LULZ!

 

Back in my country, Protesting is illegal and you need a special permit ( which you hardly can obtain one from the government or police ). If this doing is done in my country, You can see special forces and anti protest polices are trying to stop and catch the protester along with throwing tear smoke gases to the people on the places where the protest held. You can see many innocent people being bitten up by them and if caught, you will get jailed for 2-3 months for this illegal act. It’s almost every year protesting at the west side of my country is a common thing to do and not in my own hometown where you rarely see any people protest around.

Japanese police won’t do anything unless there is a havoc thing going on during the protest. If this happens in my country, I bet alot of polices are holding their bat and ready to stop and beat the protester hard enough so that they can learn their lesson and never held another protest on the street which doesn’t stop them from doing it again since my country has alot of problems on the political parts.

 

Here is the video that I have taken during the protesting.

Another exotic act happens along with the protest scene is that I found a homeless guy pooing in the middle of the street where alot of people are walking and passing by that road. This is the first time I have see this being done in Japan. I noticed this after I walk passed by the shop that sell clothes and suddenly I smell something odd while passing. I thought the smell came from a rubbish bin but then I saw none of it around but this guy. ^^;;

some people are laughing at him especially the surrounding folks for him to be sitting while sleeping next to his poo. ^^;; I spotted this homeless guy countless of times when I was out to the exit of the train station. Back in my country, I never see any homeless folks have done this thing before on a street and only animals poo can be spotted around. ^^;;
