- In the Edo period, samurai had a legal privilege called kirisute gomen, or the "right to strike and leave". If a commoner did not show the proper amount of deference, such as averting their eyes and bowing as he passed, it was considered a threat on the samurai's life.A sensitive cop loses his temper when he gets the finger and decides to break the law and violate a man's rights. Until cops are held accountable for this behavior it will never stop. 2 more rotten apples.

- It would look prettier without the white supremacist faces on it
- Thatβs cause American perception of drinking is affected by 400 years of Puritanism and temperance. The average American would see someone having a beer at lunch as an alcoholic. As a consequence, when we do drink, we go overboard cause we donβt know how to do it healthily
- Replying to @v1sig0thThe most obvious difference between this practice and modern abuse by police is if a samurai was found to have struck unnecessarily, they could be put to death or compelled to commit ritual suicide, and sometimes have their lands seized. A modern cop might get fired. Might.
- Replying to @v1sig0thWhenever I see these videos of police attacking or arresting a person for essentially just being rude, I think about kirisute gomen. To police, a threat to their authority is conflated with a threat to their life.
- Replying to @v1sig0thTo defy the etiquette of class and disrespect the authority of the enforcer was to deny the enforcer what the state deemed he was owed for his title, and to deny that was to challenge their honor. And honor was a life and death matter.
- Replying to @JR16_0501 @karbonbased and @LayahHeilpernYou got grifted, bro. You were the target. Everything Tate said is bullshit to get you to give him money. Now he's in jail and you're still falling for it.
- Replying to @justinlin2018 @RAYNS_WORLDD and @Kittenfish817If you lose enough T by sitting down to piss for it to make a difference then you didnβt have a meaningful amount of T to begin with
- Replying to @OldFatHomo @roadtoserfdumb and @sethmpkAs opposed to capitalism, where you get starvation, genocide, AND abusive landlords
- Replying to @v1sig0thIn this environment there is no difference between the title and the man. A threat to honor is a threat to life itself. So a samurai was given the legal right to respond to disrespect with lethal force, a single strike with their sword.
- Replying to @v1sig0thThe samurai was expected to spend 20 days at home away from work, a paid vacation if you will, in order to demonstrate their contrition.
