I'll admit that, as a Westerner, I do not understand how the Yakuza are allowed to operate with such impunity in Japan. In can't be that Japanese law enforcement is ball-less, spineless and weak against them. If that's the case, then they're useless. Why even exist? Bodies pile up everywhere and the punishment for the boss who ordered it is to walk away from gang life and maybe go plant a garden in Kyoto or something? That kind of behavior would NEVER hold sway in the Western world, and that's why "Beyond Outrage" was a confusing film for me. Whatever it portrayed, that was well done. But in the end, I just didn't get the Japanese way.
