The wall of that foolish constitution imposed by MacArthur was that thick. Before we could break through it, 23 people were murdered.

The following is a continuation from the previous chapter.
There were countless lessons to be learned.
TBS informed Aum Shinrikyo: “Attorney Sakamoto is criticizing your group like this.”
How helpful of them.
Immediately, they decided to eliminate him, and murdered not only Sakamoto and his wife, but even their one-year-old baby.
An Aum badge was left at the scene.
The police quickly turned their attention to Aum, but then [Aum spokesman] Joyu appeared and blocked the investigation, saying, “Are you trying to infringe on freedom of religion?”
The wall of that foolish constitution imposed by MacArthur was that thick.
Before we could break through it, 23 people had been killed.
On the other side of that wall lay the very ordinary common sense held by Japanese people: that “freedom of religion and individual freedom must remain within the bounds of public order and decency.”
After the incident, freedom of religion was no longer untouchable.
In Kyoto, a man named “Paul Nagata,” whose real name was Kim Bo, a Korean national and the head of the Holy God Central Church, was arrested for sexually assaulting 22 Japanese female followers, including elementary school students, in the name of God.
The fraudulent spiritual sales practices of the Unification Church were also cracked down on.
