Mayor of Japanese city Nagasaki shot
By George Nishiyama
The mayor of the Japanese city of Nagasaki was shot and critically wounded on Tuesday, and police have arrested a member of a criminal syndicate as a suspect, officials said.
Itcho Ito, 61, seeking re-election for a fourth term in Sunday's election, was shot by a man in front of his campaign office just before 8:00 p.m. (1100 GMT), a city official said.
Ito was taken to hospital by ambulance after being shot more than once in the back, Nagasaki police said, adding the mayor was undergoing an operation.
The police told a news conference they had arrested Tetsuya Shiroo, 59, a senior member of gang affiliated with Japan's largest crime syndicate, the Yamaguchi Gumi, on suspicion of attempted murder, and confiscated a revolver he had with him.
The motive for the shooting was unclear, but Shiroo was upset at the city's handling of a traffic accident four years ago in which Shiroo's car was damaged as it passed by a public works construction site, public broadcaster NHK said.
NHK reported that Ito's lungs and heart had stopped functioning, and other TV footage showed the mayor lying face down with his eyes closed as paramedics performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation.
"I hope that the truth be revealed through vigilant investigation by authorities," Kyodo news agency quoted Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as saying after news of the shooting.
STRICT GUN CONTROL
Japan has very strict gun control laws and firearms are mostly in the hands of "yakuza" gangsters or hunters.
NHK footage showed police subduing the suspect and putting him in a car. Later, investigators gathered evidence after the shooting while security guards took up posts at the scene.
"It looked as if the mayor was limp on a stretcher. A medic was giving him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation," Kyodo quoted a 22-year-old male university student as saying at the scene.
In 1990, then-mayor Hitoshi Motoshima was shot by a member of a right-wing group after making comments that Emperor Hirohito should be held liable for war responsibilities.
"Whatever the reason, violence cannot be tolerated," Motoshima told a TV program after Ito was shot.
"It's a disgrace for Nagasaki."
Nagasaki, on the southernmost main island of Kyushu, was the second city to suffer an atomic bombing by the United States on August 9, 1945.
Ito had previously been critical of U.S. nuclear arms policies and has been a strong advocate of Japan sticking to its decades-old ban on nuclear arms.
Last year, on the August 9 anniversary of the atomic bombing of the city, Ito criticized North Korea for their nuclear programs and had harsh words for the United States for failing to halt nuclear proliferation.
In October, 2002, lower house member Koki Ishii was stabbed to death by a member of a right-wing group in front of his house in Tokyo, the last known murder of a politician in the country.
To shoot a guy for a car incident... I doubt that. He was mayor and campaigning for re-election. Maybe he spoke too much about eliminating crime, opposed a development project, wanted a bigger bribe...

Oh yeah... that incident. :sweat: Also, the database got corrupted not long after that and move server 2 or 3 times. Perhaps all the locked thread got lost...
I've heard about the Korean guy too. For some reason, I bet this is going to end up into something like "all foreigners are evil". :shakehead:

It wouldn't be the first time. :sweat:
That would also be hypocritical since everyone except Native Americans/Indians are foreigners..... As much as most of white America would hate to admit...
Instead of mentioning his nationality maybe the school and media should focus on other factors that may have caused this young man to go off the deep end.
Va. Tech Gunman Writings Raised Concerns
Tue Apr 17, 12:40 PM From the Associated Press
BLACKSBURG, Va. - The gunman suspected of carrying out the Virginia Tech massacre that left 33 people dead was identified Tuesday as a English major whose creative writing was so disturbing that he was referred to the school's counseling service.
News reports also said that he may have been taking medication for depression, that he was becoming increasingly violent and erratic, and that he left a note in his dorm in which he railed against "rich kids," "debauchery" and "deceitful charlatans" on campus.
Cho Seung-Hui, a 23-year-old senior, arrived in the United States as boy from South Korea in 1992 and was raised in suburban Washington, D.C., officials said. He was living on campus in a different dorm from the one where Monday's bloodbath began.
Police and university officials offered no clues as to exactly what set him off on the deadliest shooting rampage in modern U.S. history.
"He was a loner, and we're having difficulty finding information about him," school spokesman Larry Hincker said.
Professor Carolyn Rude, chairwoman of the university's English department, said she did not personally know the gunman. But she said she spoke with Lucinda Roy, the department's director of creative writing, who had Cho in one of her classes and described him as "troubled."
"There was some concern about him," Rude said. "Sometimes, in creative writing, people reveal things and you never know if it's creative or if they're describing things, if they're imagining things or just how real it might be. But we're all alert to not ignore things like this."
She said Cho was referred to the counseling service, but she said she did not know when, or what the outcome was. Rude refused to release any of his writings or his grades, citing privacy laws.
The Chicago Tribune reported on its Web site that he left a note in his dorm room that included a rambling list of grievances. Citing identified sources, the Tribune said he had recently shown troubling signs, including setting a fire in a dorm room and stalking some women.
Investigators believe Cho at some point had been taking medication for depression, the newspaper reported.
So far the talking heads are just lashing out in all direcitons, searching for something that will stick.
Why didn't the school officials and the cops lock down the entire school after the first shootings?
Why didn't the teachers realize that this kid was about to pull out two pistols and try to set a new record for killing kids?
Why didn't somone who knew him report him as a potential mass murder?
Then of course, there are those demanding tighter gun control laws, bellowing at those who are saying that if all the kids had been armed, they could have defended themselves.
It may get the the race card eventually. Hell, last night, before anyone knew that the murderer had been raised in the U.S. I heard one of these radio geniuses suggesting that the guy might have been a North Korean who came with orders to kill Americans!!!
In media-land... someone or something has to be blamed. Fingers must be pointed. An incident like this has to be tied up with a nice neat bow.

Oh the ignorance of people. Well, a lot of people have already started the backlash against Asians and Asian-Americans. Just now, I had to pick up my niece from her high school because some snotty caucasian kids were harassing her. Stuff like that really ticks me off. :mad:

Isn't that a shame! Such ignorance! It always amazes me that when a caucasian American commits a crime in the USA, his or her race is never an issue. But when anyone else, non-caucasian, commits a crime in this country, then all of a sudden their entire race, ethnic group or parent's or grandparent's nationality becomes guilty right along with them. When are people going to wise up and see others as individuals? :shakehead:

THANK YOU! Last year we had a shooting at a universary, and the guy was Kimvir Gill, a brown guy. You can only imagine the grief some of my students had to go through just becaus they were brown. And not even INDIAN brown, just brown. It's just like ALL Muslims being called terrorists by ignorant people just because they share a religion with some evil fanatics.
Btw, Enna, what you said before about our reactions to such news is right on the money. :thumbsup: Nicely said and well thought out.

Some people use any excuse to lash out at others. :shakehead:

Obviously you dont live in the South.... :shakehead:
Race is in question everywhere, Enna.
I know that race is an issue everywhere in the world. I meant the entire white race doesn't get blamed or attacked when one white person commits a crime.
