The following is taken without permission. 



	TOKYO (UPI) -- The government soon will offer advice to youngsters on
proper behavior when confronted with ``an angry, gun-toting American,''
the Mainichi Daily News reported Wednesday.
	The move is partly prompted by the well-publicized case of Yoshihiro
Hattori, a 16-year-old Japanese exchange student who was shot to death
Oct. 17 in Louisiana while on his way to a Halloween party. Hattori and
a friend mistakenly approached the house of Rodney Pietri, who fired
when Hattori failed to obey the command ``freeze.''
	The story got front-page coverage in Japan, which prides itself on
its low crime rate.
	Many Japanese now understand at least the English word ``freeze,''
but the new education program, which is aimed at high school and
university students planning to go to the United States, will also
explain how to react when confronted by ``gun-toting Americans,'' the
Mainichi said.
	The Ministry of Education initially earmarked $98,000 to pay for a
general education program aimed at all Japanese students, but following
Hattori's death the ministry changed course and devoted the sum to
students actually planning to go to the United States, according to the
report.
	The government plans to produce a handbook that will explain American
manners, culture and school life -- in addition to proper deportment when
confronted with a gunman. 
	Since 1986 four Japanese students have been murdered while attending
high school in the United States.

Yes, there is. And I don't leave home without it.
Call "ABC Kouku Tenimotsu Service" at 3545-1131 (add 03 if outside Tokyo)
to arrange a pickup. [I'm not sure if a reservation desk has English

This is becuase US no longer gains from oil exportation. It is better
to buy Plutonium from Europe and spare oil money and buy American, for
Weatern people. That's the way you think.  We never forget the fact
that  US first force us to abondon our army, and force *defence* army
second.

I think the arguments are silly because the plutonium is made of used
uranium which is already exported from Japan to France. If it was safe
in one way, why not in two ways?

My question: as these trucks are (ugh) such a part of everyday Tokyo life,
why would they even bother?

Well, contact with the yakuza is most likely fairly common. Still, several
million $$ just seems a bit much for the "service". Shoot, I'd stop 
criticising the LDP for a mere $100,000. And I'd promise not to use a sound
truck for a paltry $50,000 :-)

      I'm Japanese also........ I do have some questions. But, I will
talk about
this remorse thing. It should be looked at when he said that he was
"that he wished the gun would have backfired". No, this needs attention
now. Do you think that a people would "yell" "freeze" like a
cop(policeman) and not realize that this is a kid. And, fire into his
chest. "freeze", as we know it was, "yelled"
once. But, I believe that this redneck also realized that he had a "Jap,
Chink, or Gook-you chose). i feel that he expressed remorse only after
he heard that there would be a great jury indictment. One doesn't have
to be a painter to know that the majority Asian kids are smaller than
American kids.(Because of the intake of Beef, milk and sugar) Young
Yoshi was probably a small kid compared to an American kid his age. 
Well, I can not control myself at this point. But, let me say this young
yoshi did not die in vain. Many young people have died in this way(most
are Americans) change is likely to come in some positive fashion.(yusuf
Hawkins, Do young Doung, Jimmy Hernandez, ect., ect.,ect.. Also, I have
only one doubt that this man will not  go to jail. And, that would
depend if the exchange family that Young Yoshi was living with actually
lives in the same town. My experience with this culture(redneck) directs
me to feel that there is more than a slight chance that if it is to the
advantage of their own and they could get away with it they would,
without a doubt, side with their "own". And, if I may go on, I think
that it is very strange that the exchange family has remianed silent.
They also took the responsibility of "childcare". I haven't heard s&it
from them. I think that they should have been the first to comment-
sinse they were here already. This is a sad sad sad story. It should be
remembered that it was the culture of this state that elected one of
America notorious racist(David Duke) to the government. And, the love
that they showed to him in the presidential primaries was unwaivable. 

                       I hope the family well. I will never forget Yoshi
Hattori. It will be one of the names that I will consider for my son(if
I have one).

In most cases, the police are not permitted to "start gunfire" at all, only

Whether or not an act of murder was committed has is yet to be seen.  The

Hi everybody,

I would like, once again, to remind all of you, especially those in Southern
California, that there will be a LAVAS walk-a-thon this coming November 28.
The time and location of the walk-at-thon is as follows:

                on Saturday, November 28, 1992
                AT: MILE SQUARE PARK, FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA
                Gathering location: Site # 19 (Edinger & Ward)
                        Registration: from 8:00 to 9:15am
                        Walk: from 9:30 to 11:30am
        Picnic and live entertainment: from 12:00 noon - 2:00 pm

That means we have approximately 23 days to promote and to prepare for this
event. I will start a list of walkers and sponsors from SCV net. You can
participate as either a walker or a sponsor or both. I strongly encourage
those who live in Southern Cal. to come out and walk. For those who do not
live around the area, if you can not come to the walk-a-thon, you can help by
sponsoring the walkers. So email me if you want to walk or to sponsor or both.
I will try to keep this list as updated as possible.

It's  a good idea, but it violates copyrighted law...

In a city somewhere in the world, there was a Catholic church across the
street from a synagogue.  Every once in a while, the parish priest would look
out the window of the parish house, just as the rabbi left on a journey.  Each
time, the rabbi would cross himself before walking down the stairs.  This went
on for several years, until, one day, the priest decided to ask the rabbi about
it.  Catching him leaving one day, Father William asked Rabbi Feinstein, 
"Excuse me, Rabbi, but, each time I see you leave your synagogue, you make the
sign of the Cross.  What does that mean in your religion?"  "Ah,", said the
Rabbi, "you simply misinterpreted my gesture.  Each time I leave to travel, I
just check myself out... you know, (making the gestures) spectacles, 
testicles, wallet, and watch!"

Cheers!
