In October 1992, in Louisiana, a Japanese exchange student named Yoshihiro Hattori went into the wrong house on the way to a Halloween party. The homeowner's wife screamed for help and the homeowner drew his .44 pistol and yelled for the student to 'freeze!' Not understanding...the student continued advancing towards the homeowner.

Too bad for the kid, but come ON. Let's say I'm in Japan as an exchange student. I just walk on in to someone's house without being asked in, a woman screams in terror and the man comes out pointing a samurai sword at me. What is the first thing I do? What is the first thing ANY sane person would do? I back away slowly with my hands in the air, giving the international sign for "oh crap, sorry, no threat here". What does this kid do? Keeps walking toward the guy. Good shoot, I'd say. People that stupid must leave the gene pool immediately.

Exactly. Was the kid high as a kite? He sure didn't appear to have any wits about him. Twenty years on and some still don't get that? He would have suffered a similar fate if he had intruded upon a Swede.

Point of fact is the average Jap can’t own a samurai sword. Haven’t been able to do since 1945.
