While diplomatic pressure may have caused him to be prosecuted, I don't
think it will have much effect on the jury's decision to convict or not.
Of course the man is ruined either way. Defending himself against the
manslaughter charge will probably take everything he has. then there is
the prospect that Hatori's family may bring a civil suit against him.
Even if he is acquited of the state charges, he may face the cheerful
prospect of being charged with violating Hatori's civil rights by the
federal government.

In light of all this hassle, maybe it's not too smart
to kill unarmed people who are not making any actual threats
to your life?

An apparently unarmed person is approaching you despite the fact
that you have a gun pointed at him and told him to stop. What
are the consequences of allowing him to get close enough to use
a hidden knife on you? Of allowing him to grab your gun, take
it away, and shoot you with it?

The man was apparently in costume and prowling around a side door. Just
how do you suppose the homeowner was supposed to know if he was
armed or not? More than one person has gotten themselves killed making
the wrong assumption about whether or not a prowler was armed.
Frankly, most people with even the most rudimentry intelligence can
understand that it might be best to 1) stand still, 2) run away when
someone points a gun at them. The last thing you would expect an innocent
person to do in this situation is walk toward an armed man.
I don't know what happened that night. It is for the grand jury to
decide, but I really get furious with people like you that are apparently
happy the man will end up in financial ruin regardless of whether or
not he was justified.

Phil, do you have a window at work that faces toward the street? If
you do, please go take a look at it. See that woman driving down
the street? What are the consequences of her taking a grenade launcher
out of her car and launching a grenade at your window? Better shoot
her now while you have the chance, eh?
If an unarmed Asian was walking toward me (wearing a tux, I heard?)
I wouldn't be pointing my gun at him and telling him to stop, I would
ask him how I could help him.
But that's beside the point. I'll grant that we don't have all
the facts, but from the facts we do have the guy acted incredibly
irresponsibly. If someone was breaking into my house I would
leave by the back door and go to the neighboor's house where I
would call the cops.
I would not shoot him, despite the fact that I have the gun and
know how to properly use it. None of my possesions are worth
killing over.
From what we know so far, the shooter had no reason to think a
life was in jeopardy, and that is the only condition on which
it is justified to kill an intruder.

The whole reason the hassle started was that he DID think that he was
threatened, and had no way of knowing that the deceased was not armed.

What an incredibly stupid thing to say. If a stranger is on my
property uninvited and I order them to cease their advance on my
person and they disobey, I may well blast `em. If it appears
imminent that they will come into range such that they will be able
to mount an attack upon myself, or other member of the household
and they are NOT heeding my warnings to cease and desist, I believe
there is nothing unreasonable with shooting, barring any outstanding
circumstances.

If that is the way you would respond, regardless of circumstance,
then all I can say is that the world is better off without stupid
people. Circumstances can make all the difference in how one should
respond to any given development. There are many (I would hope most)
circumstances in which I would do exactly as you state above, but
likewise there are also those that I could imagine, under which I
would have a weapon ready in case someone was intending on getting
cute.
The fact is that if you are uninvited on someone's property, you
run the risk of being injured, *especially* if the owner/resident
gives you some sort of reasonable oreder and you fail to obey.
What is a person to think? Assuming the best in people is something
I think most folks want to do, but anyone whose brain actually
functions and is not from Never Never land knows that this is an
indulgence that often cannot be reasonably afforded, if one does not
wish to unnecessarily endanger themselves.
This kind of thing is a balancing act, a judgement call. Some persons
are VERY frightened, many for good reasons. I am very leery of any
person or persons that would be so quick to second guess another's
actions in such situations as you appear to be. Maybe this person is
a rotten motherfucker that saw an excuse to smoke a gook. If so, let
the court prove this and let him fry. On the other hand, perhaps there
is some reason that this person felt genuinely fearful in the
general case and that the behavior of the deceased served only to
confirm his fears to the point where he felt it was kill or be killed.
I don't know enough about the case and I suspect that neither do you,
so perhaps a little restraint is in order rather than making summary
condemnations without just cause.

Simplistic nonsense. Would you leave your wife behind? Your kids?
Your Dogs and cats? I certainly would not. If I were alone, then
perhaps I would make my escape and call the heat. If you would
allow your family to be endangered/harmed/killed for the sake of
preserving you high and mighty sensibilities and morals, that's your
business. That's the beauty of America: anyone is free to be as stupid
as they please. Personally, I hope you have more guts than that.

And your life? You make these absolute statements so easily it seems.
Have you ever been in such a situation? I have, and I made my best
pitch to kill the motherfucker. Dunno if he lived or died, and I don't
care much either way. I'm still here and that's all that matters to
me.

As you yourself state, you do not have all the information, so how
can you make such a statement and expect anyone to take you seriously?
How about waiting until the court does its thing and THEN make your
evaluations?

impaired idiot, he knew what weapons are, even guns. They DO show

were, and knives and tanks and bombers and grenades etc. and so forth.
That he would not know what a gun was is almost inconceivable. This
sounds like you're making excuses for someone else's utter and
inexcusable stupidity, if indeed he was warned away as has been stated
here.

CNN had Peairs on tonight as well as his defense attorney and the
prosecutor in the case. CNN did a "it's the gun's fault" morality
play. The real information was not in the commentary but in the
interviews of Peairs and the attorneys on both sides. It was
Peairs wife who answered the door and encountered the two
teens who, apparently, were boisterous and peculiarly dressed
enough to frighten her badly. She urged Peairs to arm himself.
He did and went to investigate before calling the police.
When he went to the door, Hattori, apparently taking it for
joke ran toward him and ignored two orders to stop. Peairs,
who described himself as being more frightened then ever
before in his life by the strange behavior of the rapidly
closing teen fired his revolver, wounding Hattori fatally,
in a perceived need to protect his life as well as his wife
and 3 children <11 and under>. The prosecutor seemed
sympathetic, noting that homeowners have a right to
self defense. He did not seen happy or hopeful about the
case. Peairs was very grieved, as were all involved.

Actually, such events are extremely uncommon. There were only 677 such
deaths in 1986, out of a population of over 250,000,000: It would
be literally acurate to call this a "one in a million" accident (ok, about
two and a half in a million...) It is, however, not uncommon to _hear_
about such things, since the news reports such tragidies far more
frequently that similar, more common, non-firearms accidents.

Agreed. But how about the lives of your wife & children?
Look, I'm not saying that the shooting was justifyable in any
way.
I'm just saying that we shouldn't color our opinions
with conjecture. Wait for the facts to come out. Don't
"knee jerk".

That would be unwise. If someone was attempting forced entry into
your house, and did not depart once you made your presence inside
known, you must assume they intend to hurt you. (Unarmed criminals
after mere property will generally avoid occupied dwellings).
By going outside, you make yourself vulnerable to the intruder or
their compatriots. And if you have dependents in your house, you
may be leaving them unprotected. Proper response is to barricade
yourself and your dependents in some area of the house (a bedroom
is preferred) where you can see all entrances and exits clearly.
Call the police and wait in your "safe room" until they arrive to
deal with the problem.
If the intruder breaks down the door to your safe room, shoot them
without warning. Anyone who breaks into your house (despite your
announced presence) and comes looking for you is a clear threat to
your safety.
>From what we know so far, the shooter had no reason to think a
>life was in jeopardy, and that is the only condition on which
>it is justified to kill an intruder.
Almost correct. In most jurisdictions, one may legally kill to
prevent death or grave bodily harm (i.e. maiming, rape, etc).

Actually I think 677 would include everybody under 25. For children
under 15 there were 280 accidental firearm deaths in 87. I don't know
how many of those involve one child shooting another child. I assume in
some cases the accidental shot was fired by an 'adult'. By the time you
get in the late teens then a lot of the firearms accidents are probably
hunting related rather then accidents around the home. To put the 280
figure in perspective there were 1300 accidental drownings for children
under 15 in 87.

But they're not at all triggy happy, are they? NOOOOO... Empties two guns
into another scum-sucking pig, and then feels the need to empty ANOTHER
one into his bullet-ridden body? I thought cops were only supposed to shoot
if necessary and then not shoot to kill (unless threatened by another
miltant pig with a bigger gun, I guess). Why didn't they just beat the
'muggers' over the head with their clubs? Cops seem to enjoy that, too.
Okay, so it was an accident that he shot another officer, but this reminds
me of those phrases like: "No, I didn't murder him, officer. He fell on the
butcher knife! (30 or 40 times)" Honestly, folks..
Just goes to show you: Never trust a cop. Every cop I ever look at looks like
he thinks everyone around him is a serial killer on the run. If cops had their
way, they would shoot everyone they thought might have done something wrong
at some point in their life on-site.

My own personal theory on this event-we-do-not-have-

dressed for a Halloween party, thought they had found the
Halloween party, and if he saw the gun, Hattori thought someone
from the party was trying to scare them with a fake. It may
have been explained to Hattori that Halloween is a time people
dress funny and try to scare each other. It may even account
for any reported boisterous behavior when the wife of the shooter
answered the door.
Since it was many days before the actual Halloween date, the
homeowners would not be expecting trick-or-treaters or thinking of
Halloween in any way. If it had been actual Halloween, the woman
might not have been as frightened at the door, but again she might
have been, since Halloween has been used as a cover for crimes.
In any case, theories aside, anyone with common sense can
make a fatal mistake -- none of us are immune, I think.

Bullet-ridden? Ha ha ha ha! You obviously haven't heard the story.
These guys blew something like 14 to 17 rounds at the two undercover cops.
They put TWO into his bullet-proof vest, and ONE into his neck. And that's
it. The other rounds? Well, they don't call NYC "dangerous" for nothing.

I read about this one in the Friday's (11/20/92) Boston Globe. That
article didn't mention anything about the Transit Cops (the ones that did
the shooting) yelling `Freeze'. The article did mention that, "Within
seconds, the two white Transit Authority Officers unleased 21 rounds of
gunfire. One even stopped to reload, then resumed firing before realizing
they had shot a fellow undercover officer..." The officer at the wrong end
of the guns was listed in serious condition with a bullet in his neck. Two
other shots were stopped by the officers vest. So there were nineteen stray
rounds during that encounter. Sounds like any bystanders were at more
risk from the Transit cops than their target.

What's the LIKELIHOOD of her having a grenade launcher? What's the LIKELIHOOD
of somebody who sees you pointing a gun at them, yet refuses to halt, having
GOOD intentions?

If he'd previously appeared to have tried to gain unauthorized entry to my
home, and continued to do so, I certainly might point a gun at him. His being
Asian is irrelevant. Asians commit crimes just like anybody else.

When somebody advances in the face of armed force, it indicates to me that he

Actually, as someone pointed out by e-mail, the number I gave is
for everyone under the age of 25 (Which is quite different from
"children"). A more realistic definition of "children" cuts the number
to 60 deaths (ages 7 and under, a reasonable number since at this age
children can learn to safely handle firearms, or at least learn what
_not_ to do...).
>...But I don't think that
>15 per year in this small state is an extremely uncommon event by any

Would you consider children drinking Drano (or other household chemicals)
and dying as a result, "extremely uncommon"? I've certainly never heard
of such a case, either by personal experience or through the news. However,
there are 68 deaths (among children age age 7 and under. 558, if you
think everyone under 25 is a "child"...) However, while I hear frequently
about the dangers of children finding unsecured guns and how laws holding
the negligent owner especially accountable, I have heard absolutely no
mention of any such discussion or porposed laws concerning toxic chemicals.
If the real purpose of these laws and discussions is to save children's
lives, why is this?

Then Hattori was the victim of other people's irresponsibility, and I
mean from back home. When you go to a foreign land, it is YOUR
responsibility to have all the vital information needed to keep
yourself safe. Different lands have different laws and customs
and you are subject to them, regardless of how much you may or
may not agree with them. This reminds me of that consummate asshole
Paul McCartny when he waltzed into Tokyo with several ounces of
marijuana (and coke??) with him, thinking that he could just do it.
Lucky for him the Japanese were kind enough to let him go. Had he been
in (shucks, I forget... is it Malaysia??) one of those SE Asian island
nations, he would have been arrested and EXECUTED on conviction.
I am sad that this young person was killed, and perhaps the shooter
was not justified, but from what I have read here so far, it seems that
the poor youth was either terminally stupid, or shamefully ill prepared
by his parents/society/whomever to make a long term journey to a
foreign land. There is not much that one can take for granted when
traveling abroad. In some places, the most innocent indiscretion is
enough to make your life forfeit. It is hard enough when you are on
the ball; one cannot afford go around with their head seated firmly
in their anus and expect to get away with it.
My question is: if he was not properly educated, why not?

What about the ramifications of what was probably an expression of
fear and horror on the face of the shooter? I doubt he was smiling
kindly and speaking in a gentle and polite tone. Did Hattori not
know what fear/anger/hostility were?? I am sorry, but this whole
premise that he had no concept of what was transpiring sounds like
just so much apologetic, myopic bullshit to me. It would take an
awful lot of powerful convincing to get me to believe otherwise.
However, if you or anyone else has any conclusive evidence to support
this assertion, I would honestly love to see it.

I am very disturded by this. I think that these activites will send a
bad message to most Americans and give many Japanese the wrong idea.
This "Rambo"
training method is all wrong. The key to surviving in America is
intelligence and "a cautious spirit and more importantly "openess of
mind". There is no one in Nippon or America more Pissed off at this
event that I. But, to have young or any Japanese for that matter
trainied to use a gun for the sole purpose of
protection is stooooopid! Would not Nippon become the "terrordome" that
America is? I have no doubt that these Rambo training camps will make
Japanese kill
Japanese and other in Nippon more quickly and more easily. Just like in
America.
My heart is sad now by this information. Nippon will destroy itself from within

>Also there are information services that sell information about the

I think that the use of the word terrorist is even more danger. I think that
it would bring about negative responses that would send a lot of people right
to hell. Americans can hardly be considered as "terrorist" in the terror sense
of the word, of course. This individuals was an "Asshole with a gun"
ready to "Shoot anyone without {family values} or isn't like him". For
those of you who have a problem with this I'm saying in this statement
that this "killing" was motivated by race. But this should not throw
Japaese off of their square. Japanese must win these 'frontiers' and
help to create a new involved humanity.
I say frontiers because Japanese and most Asian in Asia are relatively naive
to the outside. Naive does not mean Stooopid in this case. Just unfamiliar. The
average Japanese only had contact with the outside for about 140 or so
odd years
(counting from perry's entrance). A gun is never the answer. Although, the "By
any means neccesary" laws applies also.

I agree that the training, as described in the article, sounds a
bit ill matched to the task of allowing a Japanese person fare
well in America. But to say that it will cause havoc is sheer
nonsense.
>Would not Nippon become the "terrordome" that America is?
Terrordome? America? Are you KIDDING?? What America are you
talking about? I have spent most of my life living in NYC,
arguably the most dangerous city in America to live in, and while
there is far more violence here than I feel the ought to be, there
is not nearly as much as the media would have you believe. In all
my years of frequenting the worst neighborhoods in NY (South Bronx,
Harlem, Bushwick, lower east side, etc), I have been attacked only
once, and it was my own stupidity that precipitated the assault.
I'm not saying violence is not a problem, for surely it is, but the
problems that are REALLY flushing this country down the tube are
only remotely linked to violence, at best.

Get bent. You imply they are not capable of thinking their way
out of a wet paper bag. The Japanese and Chinese and other Asian
peoples have seen more violence throughout their history that you
could shake a fucking stick at. They have not, in general, just
fallen off the proverbial turnip truck. Your implications are vile,
obscene and rather repulsive. What makes it even worse is your
rotten, ignorant, and self deluded attempt to cloak your words in
false piety and moral superioriy. I have more respect for the
Klansman that says "nigger go home". At least he is forthright,
however misguided he may be.
Your attitude reminds me of the Catholic Inquisitor that declares
someone a heretic and has him burned alive in the holy name of
Jesus Christ. And to top it off, they cried about it! Shit.

Although this was aired right after the incident in the US,
I think most Japanese people know that this "survival" training
is not for the US. It's for South American and other Asian countries.

It is not just America that is being targetted. I think plenty of

Based on what you have said here I think it is safe to assume tha tyou never
commit any kind of fax paux when you visit foreign countries. You know before
you go whether the country is a one kiss or a two kiss country. You know
whether you should bow or shake hands. You know that showing the soles of your
shoes is an insult of severe ramifications. You learn all of this BEFORE you go
and are then able to assimilate all of it so that you never make a mistake
while visiting that foreign land. Or have you ever visited a foreign country?
Have you ever lived in a foreign country? From your statements I would guess
not. What you suggest is wholely irrational on a practical level. Moveover, if
it were possible to learn all of the things you suggest before coming here then
there would be little need to come here.
But fear not. All of the student who come here after will have been thru SWAP
school so as to know how to survive the likes of Peairs.

Obviously, you are White. And, stupid. Everyone knows that America is
the crime,
violence and murder capital of the world. Since, America's inception, You dick,
violence ha played part in Americans history. From the Semi-genocide of
the native American to Black African Slavery to the American Civil War
to(need I go on you dickhead) I know some places in NYC that you would
never walk out of. Come the Harlem with me Faggot(oh! sorry fallas)wimp.

little confused at your train of thought. But I answer with what I see;
The point that I was making is that no matter who is the perceived
"terrorist" humans must, with Japanese in perticular and Asian in
general, stop "training/conditioning" for violence. We are wiping
ourselves out. Though, my calculations, when God said, "Be fruitful and
multiply". We, as humans, are way
off the mark and completely out of sync. Poor creatures driven by ego,
pride, lust and tradition. Wait let me go back up to this guy again! See

Partially correct. My impression was that these courses were designed
not just for travellers to the US. In some places in the middle east
the dangers do resemble a war zone. Heck much of the middle east is
a war zone. Simulated terrorist attacks are appropriate for travellers
to that area of the world.
As for survival in America there are several important factors.
1. Awareness. This is the big one. You must know where you are, where
not to go and above all what to look for to avoid attack by a two
legged predator.
2. Understanding the culture.For those not used to living in a place
where an ordinary peasant has at least a partial right to defend
himself you must understand that you should stop advancing if
someone points a gun at you. Above all do not run towards a nervous
man who is pointing a gun at you. It probably is not a joke.
3. Try not to resemble the local two legged predators.
I don't understand what you mean by openess of mind. In my dialect that
means that you are willing to accept a wide range of ideas or to at least
consider them. I don't see how that applies here.

Knowing how to protect ourselfs has not made the US a terrordome. The
problems we have had with violence have incresed even while skill
with a gun, has decresed. Our violence problems are due to cultural
problems that are far more complex than your simple minded and bigotted
statements indicate.

Horse apples.

America is headed for trouble but for reason that you don't seem to
understand. Some examples.
1. Breakdown of the family unit. Likely due in large part to a
socialistic welfare system which fosters dependancy and encourages
the break up of families via. the rules of qualification. This is
a topic way beyond the scope of a simple post. Books have been
written on the subject.
2. Loss of a moral consensus. Due in part to number 1 as well as the
teaching of relativistic morality. There can't be much consensus
when what is right depends on how you feel at the moment.
3. Excessive government intervention in every day life. The war on
drugs for example. Compare with the violence of the prohibition
days.
4. Excessive government control of the economy. Government spending
and borrowing is consuming much of our wealth and destroying our
industry. Most of this is entitlements but excesive commitment of
US military personnel and equipment to the defense of other
nations is also a significant factor.
5. Government sponsored "solutions" that only make the problems worse.
For example solving the crime problem by disarming the victims.

Like most sweeping statements this is not accurate. They aren't
always the answer but sometimes they are a very good answer. It depends
on the questions. If guns are so damed useless why do we spend so much
money providing them to the cops. We could save even more money by
disarming our military. And we can immediatly pull all of our troops
back to the US and stop supplying defense to asia and europe. They
won't need any time to beef up their own defenses since guns are never
the answer.

Obviously, you are Yellow. And, stupid. Maybe everyone without a

the murder capital of the world at 44 murders per 100,000 population
per year. Places like NYC and Washington DC are about 7 in a bad
year. Many undeveloped places of the world are much more dangerous
than the US. Facts, man! Be careful with your facts!

What are you proud of? That people from far east Asia are labeled
as "yellow?" You're yellow and proud? Of WHAT? Jaundice as a
result of prolonged infection of active Hepatitis-B virus? 8-).
IMHO, there's nothing to be proud of if you're a STUPID member of
a non-caucasion ethnic minority in America regardless whether you're
black or yellow. Before you go shouting slogans such as "I'm black [or
yellow] and I'm proud," you should think of specific reasons why you
should be proud. Are you proud that blacks disproportionately commit
more crime, are in greater poverty, and less educated, etc... Are you
so proud that Japan is so reluctant to participate in UN Peace Keeping
Operations, are hunting whales to near extinction, rape the world's
oceans of protein with its drift nets, is a democracy yet it
can't even care enough to elect a diet which isn't affiliated with the
yakuza...
Your pride is misguided. Please don't continue ranting this racial
pride bovine excrement. The best that can be said about pride is at the
different levels, from individual to national, pride should be carefully
exercised constructively rather than using it as a means of comparing
two ethnic groups. True pride doesn't need a loud speaker...it speaks
for itself.

Never said it was. (In most places its a misdemeanor.) I said

Then you called a country a "capital". A capital, my friend, is a
city. America isn't the capital of anything. Also, the figures I
cited were per capita figures and could easily be used to compare a
city, Cairo--the murder capital of the world, to the US. If we take
the US as a whole the murder rates per capita are much, much lower.
You've said many times you admit when you're wrong. But you can't, you

You're just not used to hearing a white person say what they think in
a public arena. I'm not gonna blow hot air up your ass like a lot of
people do and say: "Rikiya, I'm sure you have valuable things to say.
If you just weren't so quick to use bad language and inflammatory
racist statements, I'm sure you could make a valuable contribution to
our discussion." BullSHIT! I don't think you have even one single
solitary valuable contribution to make, except showing how "stoopid" a
person can really get when they work hard 24 hours a day at it like
you do--an example of what not to do. A batsu. A matigai. A reigai. An
international symbol with a big red giant X through it.

I feel very comfortable talking with you! Yes, I do mean at least aware

But indirectly it does. What I mean is this. A lot of. Well, I should
start out on the phycholoigal side of the issue. Lets not fool
ourselves; a gun means power. One can say protection but you can run
away to be within protection. Ya' know what I mean? .. Just by showing a
person a gun is enough to scare the hell out of them. Don't fu*k with
me! How do you know about cultural problems. If your pro-gun that most
certainly you were pro-Bush. Do you live in a Ghetto?
f*ck no. Do you live within the inner city? Fu*k no. Did you collect
food stamps so that your family can eat because your black and (as much
as I hate to minic
this guy)as Ross Perot said, "When things get get bad who gonna suffer
the most you people". "I mean your people". Definately, fuck no. So,
your just a caucasian, Reganite, Bushhead, suburean individual talkin'
shit. I see that you are affliated with a lab, so I know to don't have
time to go out and let's say
march for the homeless. You know it winter right? How much did you give to the
homeless last year. A couple of dollars. Do you think that someone can
live off of that. And, why are you saying two-legged predators some many
times? Don't you
that a perdators are animals. Man is not a predator! Does these terms
make it easier for you to kill? Oh! don't worry it was a two-legged
predator! Is that what you'd say. Wake up and smell the
cohee(Coffee)motherfuc*er! Shaffer is that
Irish! I like the Irish! I'ma give you some advice: Take that gun and go to
the nearest river throw it in. And, tell your rifle bubbies to do the
same. Now, Withdrawal is a hard thing. It will be like you were on
drugs. Crack. At first,
you'll say, "Why did the hell I go and do that for!" And then after a
while you'll feel like you lost your "best friend". And this is when
depression, insecurity and paranoia(even though your paranoid as f*ck
now) wiil set in. But,
you'll find another friend; that's right! What you use to call a
two-legged predator. Think about it! I know the Irish their strong and
and they have a fighting spirit. Ah! I just though of as new phase. Ah!
this is great! Drum roll
please<<<<<<<<<<<<<<drum roll>>>>>>>>>>> "The Fighting Irish"! I
getting to be
quite mother*uckin genious!!! Think I'll go have a drink! The Irish can drink
too. The two do go together a lot of times. If you don't get rid of those guns
you gonna be drinkin' and a fightin' and a shootin' just like real dodge. I'ma
get the fu*k out of you way. Well, I have to go. And, about the "M"
word! Just practising American Freedom. Please, don't have offense! I
highly agree with your military statements. You know I saw a movie here.
Called "Full Metal Jacket" by Stanley 2001, anyway,( why he made this
movie is interesting to me)
but in this movie a certain general says to this soldier,"In every dink, gook
there's an American waiting to get out!" I apply this to you,(somewhat)
"In every repubican there a Democrat struggling to get out!" I like alot
of your statement.

I'm proud of the fact that Almighty God had the ever lovingkindness to
make in his image. Which is the way I am. Now, Educated men such as
yourself maybe
understand this. Obviously, you don't have any close black friends. DFid
they invite to their home for thanksgiving, or spent Christmas? Treat
you like a family member? or do you sit a the lab all day. Eat at
McDonalds on Christmas?
This Black and I'm proud get African American an identity in the 70's. You must
these people were the son and daughters of slaves. Oh, yea, your a
social darwinist so that was ok with you I assume. So, Indentity, is
important them just like anyone else.

Excuse my friend. But, Have you ever bother to keep an eye open for
white on white crime. Or, since the Media doesn't say therefore it does
exist. Right? I
tried about black on black al;l the time. White about White on White
crime. Your pretty well conditioned dude. Segretation had a lot to do
with being less educated. Your know Chinese live in Baruku section in
Nippon. Their less educated. Because Japanese on purposely hold them.
Or, is it social Darwinism
again. What a likely excuse.

I know your culture. Since you are ready to accuse of being rastist again. Show
me up on the sceen where I said that a person was stoopid because they
were white. Would you please. Ya' know assume to much. And , this my
point, your not use to a Japanese calling you white. There is nothing
wrong with being White. Contrary, to your limited education, I have
many, many white friends. Both In America and Nippon. But, they are not
you all. What do you all expect out of Japanese? Tad, you should wait
up! If you could see my e-mail you wouldn't believe it. I have more
Japanese in Nippon on my e-mail then the whole s.c.j.
About eight to ten times more. And, as always, I'll be honest about 85%
of them agree full with what I say. Now, don't get my wrong I get some
tough critisms
especially, form Keio University.(CMU's "sister" school). My e-mail is 532.
Now, as I said before show me where I directly told ANYONE THAT THEY
WERE STOOPID BECAUSE OF THEIR COLOR. Now, put your heart where your
mouth is bit*h!
Show me! Anyone of you all can participate! Just because I say to a
white person
that he is stupid doesn't mean because of his color but his think or
attutude. Show me bitch! Ya'll can cry that Racism shit but you can't
prove it! That is
your personal problem. Do you actually think that I could continue to a school
to a school that is 75% White and be a racist again white publicly on a
international communication system. DON'T BE SSSSSSSTOOOOPIDDDD!!!!!!
Fuc* you, man! This has to be your education! So, I won't blame you personally.
But, Really think about it. If I were racists do you think that I would take
all this time writing to ya'll. No other Japanese from Nipppon takes
this much time with you all. Mr. Lambert said something a while back, "
Not to many Japanese (in Nippon) write to this program". I can see why
most of you all are
some of the most self-centered, egotistical, close-minded conservative(
I'll be kind this time) people(damn, that was hard) I see that most of
you only went to my country for only a short time. I've here for Six
years Tad.
Now, you claim to have some "close" minority friends. Where are they? I
just seen one Asian-American. Where's all these black people that you
claim to help.
I'm not doubting you but where the fuck are they? No, you get your rocks off
calling me racists. Just because I called a person who is white stupid.
Not, because he's white but because was stupid in that point in time.
Your an Asshole. I was right in the beginning. I don't want to be your
friend anymore.
I don't think that no Japanese(from Nippon) would want to be your close
true friend after they see what on the inside. You are very stupid for a
college
student. As usual higher mathematics and science in amost non-existant
in your intelligence, alot of you all critized my english and spelling
ability but I
could have also critized you all on your math abilities but I'm not that mean.
I'm the stooopid one, I took all this time to reason with you all when you're
a bunch of hopeless losers(and you all know who you are). You can't go
anywhere,
afraid of your own "America" citizens, very unfair to "other" Americans.
Just plain hopeless. And, if I were to ask do you care you would say No!
Show me Tad! Where I said a person was stupid because he was white!

This is a joke! The Somali's haven been staving to death
since the election ya' know. What I think is remarkable is that Bush
spent four years as President of this great nation. And, eight years as
Vice President and never did
damn thing for the staving people of Somalia. Now, after an embarrassing lost
he wants to be on have a little more time on the record books. The
People of Somalia and Etheopia have always meet starvation right in the
face for many, many many and years. But, as the real waffle king steps
down. The America people have spoken. Mr. Bush this will be forgotten.
By Americans as well as Somali's. You took to long. Tvelve years! But
since this is human life that we are talking about I'll give you the
benefit of the doubt and say, "Better late
than never"! And, "A job well done"! Now, if you can do something about
Sarahaval and S. Africa and toubles at home here in America. They might
re-elect
you on a recount.(just Joking) I am surprised about your involvement in the
transition. I respect you very much althought I suspect that there is
some kind of "watch-dog committe/team hired by congress to keep
everything fair. Good job, sir! And, between me and you, don't put all
your "money" on Kemp in '96. I don't think that another republican will
be in the White House for another sixteen years(two for clinton and two
for Gore)and I have the feeling that by this time
America with be ready for a Black or Other "Minority" as President of
the United States of America. This Great and beautiful land touched by
the Grace of God.
Good luck. Oh! Sorry, to hear about your mother. I know that you made her very
proud and honored as a son to his mother many times especailly by being
president. I feel real sorry , Sir. If, she had a son like you she must
have been a grand lady herself. Please, accept my condolences. And, I'll

*sigh* 'cause if you -could-, and did, you'd find out just how wrong
you are. but i suppose that's too simple... certainly not as much

actually, i think you're a lot more intelligent than you let on. so

That's it. Just relax. Now then, you have shown the intellect commonly
associated with carrots and other roots. You have stated nothing other
than your skin color as justification for considering your remarks. You
have also claimed you were proud of your skin color, as if it made any
difference. You have also insinuated that you might "come after" some
who disagreed with your viewpoints. Yet you have failed to make a case
against the opinions you are so ready and willing to oppose.
Frankly, your extreme lack of ability to compose an argument, let
alone compose a substantial retort, is quite enough to make me wonder if
you can tie your shoelaces in a strong breeze. I make it a point of
personal pride to allow others the freedoms I so enjoy until they prove
they are incapable of handling this responsiblity. In light of this, I
would still be leery of allowing you access to anything sharper than a
Twinkie. In short, "Gene police! Out of the pool!"
If you wish to spar with me, take it to e-mail. I'm certain
the others here would rather not listen to the resulting words.

So we have someone pretending to be a spoiled rich Japanese kid
who is so excited about being away from any oversight that he just
can't stop bragging and talking dirty.
It must be a joke, because not even a spoiled rich Japanese kid
who is excited about being away from any oversight could act in
such a consistently stereotyped way.

Asano-kun seems to be excessively racist or to just be offensive in order
to generate attention. It seems that one of his victims replaced the word
"white" with the word "yellow" and posted it back at him (after submitting
the grammar to a sanity check). Asano-kun fell for it hook line and sinker.

On the contrary, I take amusement out of Mr. Rikiya Asano's
(sometimes) incoherent and irrational articles (if I can call them
'articles'). I enjoy reading every time he post something and someone
replies to it by a rational, quite sounding argument. It's very
interesting to see the differences between Mr. Asano's articles and
those which were replying to his...don't you think?

Rikiya Asano
Seeing that reasoning with you is a waste of time, I must go on!
Recently, I read that this author/ director made a movie about how to deal with
extortion for gangsters. Now, I admit this is a very touchy subjuct for
me. But,
I feel no fear because I love Japanese very much. Number one, I don't
think that
there is no Yakuza or Yamaguchi-gu. And, if there is it is good for Japanese
society. Now, wait a minute, let me explain! Someone has to keep the
businessman in check, seeing that the law isn't doing a good job. The
LDP are businessmen and work hand in hand with business. The LDP in out
of touch with the people! The gangsters would not have been so stupid as
to attack this person. These were a bunch of kids who did this. Putting
the public in fear is a device that will
backfire in the future. Real Gangsters would have waited until a person
would have tried the methods of this director and then reprimanded the
person so that freedom of speech would have been protected. The modern
way of the Gangster is
to have the people on your side. Since, the majority of the gang members
are mostly made up of society's outcast. The Gangsters also have a love
for others
and their environment. They have for one reason or another fell through
the cracks that are left when people of greed do their dirty works of
desire. I am
in an abyss as to why this imgination was conjured. We wiil effectively
deal with the problems of Nippon at their roots. The opinions of the
American(especailly in regard the "White Only")are nothing. And, only
work for the destrution as(if it was for the ideas of the democrartic
party which are made up of a real American representation)America is(or
was) headed for Destruction. To be a great leader one must change and
constantly revolutionize
itself for the good of this members and also the fair treatment of those
who oppose. Every Gangsters know this. These were the work of kids.
Really!

Less than that. I was unemployed and more concerned with keeping my own
body fed and out of the cold. (Note that I refused to sink to food stamps
or welfare. I worked minimum wage jobs and paid my own way.)

Man is a predator. Check the dentition. His teeth are for cutting meat, or

or other men. Socially speaking, some people prey on their own species.

So far, you have told one person, "Obviously, you are White," and told
him he would "never walk out of Harlem." You have told another that in
looking back at his name, you have concluded he is Jewish, so you would
cut him some slack because you liked that. You have asked a third
whether he was Italian from his name. You have asked a fourth "What
kind of Blackman are you? One who would sell out his own people."
SOMEONE here is obviously obsessed with race and nationality, and it's
pretty clear who it is.

Ah, but a student visa holder threatening US citizens is frowned
upon by the State Department.
I had a Christian Lebanese friend deported when I was in college.
His "crime?" Telling someone he was "going to kick their ass."
Sound familiar?
Remember that the FBI, at least, monitors the net, Rikiya-san. It'd
be a shame for that expensive CMU education to be interrupted by
your battleship mouth overloading your rowboat tush.

In defense of the racists though, there aren't many places they

If it is likely that kissing a person once on the cheek, rather than
twice, is likely to get me into a dangerous situation, then you are
damned right I will do my best to learn about these things. This
kind of information is , generally speaking, not hard to come by.
Whether or not a person learns it is a matter of having a sufficiently
circumspect attitude about things like this. As far as this young man
is concerned, I feel he may not have been properly prepared by his
family and culture to deal with the potential hazzards of traveling to
a foreign land, *any* foreign land.
What if a person comes to America from a land where it is a customary
gesture to greet a person by running up to them whilst yelling loudly
and growling and baring your teeth? Do that in NYC and you are likely
to get hurt, if not killed, by a reasonably frightened citizen. The
onness is, therefore, on the visitor, to know that such behavior is not
acceptable in the foreign place. Yes, I know the example is contrived,
but this is essentially analogous to the accounts of Hattori's behavior
in that he engaged in unwise behavior that could be construed as
potentially life threatening to the native inhabitants. Fatally poor
judgement.
>You know that showing the soles of your
>shoes is an insult of severe ramifications.
In fact, I was going to use exactly this example in another post, but
chose otherwise. I know this and yet I have never been to Saudi
Arabia and environs. This is information of fairly major significance,
similar to not drinking alcohol or fucking their women. Before I
travel abroad, I do some basic research exactly so I am less likely
to get myself into any kind of trouble.
>You learn all of this BEFORE you go
>and are then able to assimilate all of it so that you never make a mistake
>while visiting that foreign land. Or have you ever visited a foreign country?
Learn, yes... assimilate... well one can only do their best. Also,
there is a BIG difference between making a grave error in behavior
around people who know who you are and what your business is vs.
complete strangers who do not know you from Adam. If I slip and
show the soles of my shoes to my host, who knows that I am a foreigner,
I am likely to be able to make my sincere and profuse apologies. If
I do likewise in a cafe (or whatever) to a complete stranger, who in
hellknows what amy happen. I may not be given the chance to explain,
therefore I must be ever so careful, and my behavior MUST become
conservative in the extreme since, in some respects, I am as a small
child, learning what is OK and what is not.
Likewise, there is often a BIG difference between mistakenly committing
an insulting act and a *threatening* act. Generally speaking, it has
been my experience that folks are at least willing to hear an apology
before passing any judgements. You may still get your head handed to
you, but poeple WILL listen beforehand. On the other hand, acts that
are perceived as possibly life threatening are acted upon INSTANTLY.
Hattori's acts, as I have read about them here, sound as if they could
reasonably be seen as threatening. I was no there, so I cannot say
for sure. If he did indeed act as foolishly as has been related in
this group, then I am by no means sure that Peirs (sp??) was not
fully justified in acting as he did.
>Have you ever lived in a foreign country? From your statements I would guess
>not.
I traveled nearly the entire European continent alone, beginning at
age 10. I lived there for months at a time as a child. My folks
put me on a plane in June, and I would return on my own in September.
Not bad for a 10 year old (: I did this for 4 years.
>What you suggest is wholely irrational on a practical level. Moveover, if
>it were possible to learn all of the things you suggest before coming here then
>there would be little need to come here.
I am not suggesting that one learn ALL there is to know. I suggest
that you learn the basics of the culture, particularly when it is one
that is substantially different from your own, and behave accordingly.
Finding out what things are likely get you into very hot water is not
in any way difficult. As I said before, go to Malaysia (??) with a
1/4 gram of coke or a joint, or some heroin for personal use and you
will be put to death, if caught, no questions asked. If I am unaware
of this, and am caught with a joint in my pocket, whose responsibility
is that? MINE. PERIOD. Sure, there probably are places where the
laws are capriciously designed and enforced with the idea of trapping
foreigners. There may be no way to know about all of them, I agree,
but the USA is not some bumfuck backwater republic largely unkown to
the worlds population. There is little excuse for being unaware of the
most fundamental aspects of American life if you intend on traveling to
the United States. The same can be said for basically any other nation
as well.

I'd be a bit more careful with those threats. If I were ever to
actually take you seriously (which ain't likely), you could find
yourself eating those threats, and perhaps a few other things you
would probably find highly unpleasant. But if you ever feel the
overwhelming need to be so incalculably foolish as to even consider
trying to "Fuck [me] up on sight", you may find me at 13 Old Monmouth
Road, Freehold, NJ. I'll be happy to hear from you, but you'd best

2 questions:
1) Riki, (why does this remind me of a little mongoose?) what is the
right way?
2) Don't most people on the net think this is probably some feeble
attempt at Japan bashing? No one can be as "stoopid" as our favorite son
pretends to be. I imagine this is some undergrad who is probably sexually
frustrated, and is trying to get t.p.g. subscribers lathered up in a sweat
with his xeniphobic drivel. I'm hoping if we ignore him he'll get bored not
being the center of attention and go get some hand cream and relieve his
tension. Lonely people like Riki need attention, and negitive attention is
better than none at all...

jason 'Think!' steiner
died. that sucks.)
the question i wanted to ask is, are Japanese really that ignorant
about the dangers of someone wielding a firearm? i recently started
watching anime (japanese animation, usually more serious than the
typical US fare) and i don't see how -anyone- who watches that could
not know what guns do. the artists who did Appleseed, at least, knew
enough to draw Colt service automatics right down to the last screw
and the serial number on the side. with the amount of blood & general
mayhem depicted i'd expect Japanese to be as much or more aware of
violence as someone who grew up watching american TV. probably more so.

I, for one, am quite willing to help him in this quest. Noting that
my challenge to take his flames on me to e-mail has so far been unanswered,
I am seriously considering breaking my die-hard rule and starting a killfile.
Any net-gurus happen to have a good line for the various newsreaders
that will remove this obnoxious punk, and *only* him, from my otherwise-good
dose of daily News? I'd hate to miss re-hashed subjects, but his username
only would be limiting enough.

This may be the key to understanding this action..perhaps the good President
has decided that this is a 'bad' thing to do economically...and since he got
defeated by a bad economy, this little stab could make things a bit worse for
Mr Clinton..who has a BIG battle against him already...and if they forget that
it was Bush that helped do it, they might not remember to re-elect the good
guys..;-)

And let us not forget the Japanese killing, torture, and enslavement
of hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Chinese in the 20's,
30's, and 40's while we're playing "who's the racist".
Do you "like" the Chinese, Rikiya-san? Do they make good slaves?
Or is only the Real Whiteman(TM) guilty?

The documented raping of the women before they killed them would, IMHO, count as
torture.
Rikiya-san seems mighty quiet on this issue. I guess racial purity wasn't quite
the shield he was anticipating.
Are you out there, Rikiya-san? Do you accept your guilt?

This assumes that Japanese draw some correlation between anime and reality.
Furthermore, this makes some assumptions about where that line is drawn. For
example, Wile E. Coyote routinely tried to drop things such as safes, very
large boulders, trucks, etc onto the Roadrunner's head. Said items usually end
up landing on Mr. Coyote. Yet not many people draw the conclusion that one can
survive being crushed under a safe.
The point being that while the may well be some correlation between reality and
anime, where the line is drawn is the important (and as yet undetermined)
aspect.

Agreed. Besides, reading through arguments between David Veal, Andy V.,

as watching the "dream team" take apart the competition in Olympic
