Question from a reader:
I heard that Mr. Tachibana Takashi from the NHK Party was attacked by an assailant. Is there a possibility that NHK-related individuals might face danger in the future? I’m worried.
About the Safety of NHK Party and Its Affiliates
Recently, I came across news that Mr. Tachibana Takashi from the NHK Party was assaulted. In response, there
are growing concerns that individuals associated with NHK might also face risks. Honestly, it’s understandable for anyone in a position like this to feel anxious when such incidents occur. During my college years, I worked part-time at a judicial scrivener’s office and met a variety of people. Some were passionate about discussing legal matters, while others were adamant in their opinions. What I realized was that the way information is received and expressed can sometimes come with risks. Online platforms often see rampant defamation and slander, which can spill over into the real world.
Specific Risks
As mentioned in user comments, there are opinions suggesting that NHK Party affiliates are particularly at risk. The more visible one is, the likelier they are to become a target for attacks. However, I feel that NHK as an organization is somewhat unrelated to this. As a public broadcaster, NHK does not take a political stance, which I believe minimizes direct risks. Of course, supporters or followers might engage in extreme actions, but that remains an individual’s choice, and there is no need to view the entire organization as a danger. Through my work as a judicial scrivener, I often reaffirm the importance of the law. The law is meant to protect people, and if there are concerns, acting within legal frameworks is the safest approach. Naturally, if one is not familiar with the law, it can be unclear how to behave, which is why gaining knowledge in advance is crucial.
In Conclusion
Reflecting on legal matters and societal situations is intriguing and can sometimes help in protecting oneself. I encourage everyone to share any experiences or opinions you may have, especially regarding moments when you felt threatened or important legal knowledge. I would appreciate your comments, as they would serve as valuable references for my own learning journey.
