The Japanese Riot! Demanding Withdrawal From Korea! And Closure of Narita!

Yesterday I posted the story about how far American society has collapsed with the story and video of fighting - as well as people getting run over by a car - while they waited in line for a job at McDonald's. 

Things are very bad in the USA and they are going to get much worse. 

The economic problems in Japan are very bad too, but there is one saving grace about Japan and the Japanese... They don't riot and protest and go batsh*t crazy and violent like the Americans do. Do they?

Here's a link sent by regular reader diego.a with a 1961 video about a "riot" against US troops.

More proof to add to your article: Japanese Students Riot Demanding US Withdrawal

No riot gear costumes, tasers, or pepper-spray. Few nightsticks, but lots of pushing and shoving. You could get more injuries at a soccer match riot. Even their motives were better than US rioters. They are even better dressed. I even had to go back to 1961 to get this!

Thanks diego.a. Cool video!!! But wait a minute! Is it true that the Japanese are too docile and absolutely will not riot like westerners? I'm not too sure about that. Here is a video from Oct. 20, 1985 of a left wing group known as Chuukakuha leading a riot in an attempt to stop Narita airport expansion. Especially pay attention from about 1:00.... This will blow your mind. The sh*t really starts hitting the fan from 2:00 ~

Here's some more from riots and demonstrations against the original construction of Narita in the late 1970s.  I remember these well. In the first video, the demonstrators actually took over, sacked and occupied the control tower at Narita:

(The sound on this one is missing for the first 2'50" or so)

The next video is from a collection of unedited videos of the riots. I have added the first of the series here for you.

Oh, and there's lots more where these came from. Here's a photo of Japanese students rioting against the renewal of the US-Japan Security Treaty in 1960:

So, perhaps thinking that the Japanese won't riot and are too docile maybe a bit presumptuous... What happens when Japan is no longer an extremely wealthy country and the youth have no jobs?... Like it was in 1960?
