James McAvoy said it better in Atonement.
Counterpoint: her brother Charles Spencer.
About Aikawa and Manchuria, one of the more interesting story I heard about growing up* was his involvement with the Fugu Plan to resettle European Jews in Manchuria, partly to recruit German technical/engineering talents.
My comment address the issue with the pre-sentencing report with the sentencing recommendation to the judge.
He is trying to pull off his Schultz impression.
A big part of the justice system is all about holding the criminals and let “crime age curve” do its magic. Eventually people will “age out” of their criminal behaviors if you hold them long enough.(Or as one ex-con explained to me, it’s hard to do smash and grab type of crime when you have to worry about the shards…
This judge wasn’t THE “one guy” in this debacle. He rubber stamped the county probation department’s recommendation. If county probation department recommend the same sentences as the DA was asking for, it’s very unlikely/harder for judge to justify lighter sentencing. Voters in Santa Clara County can demand Santa…
The probation department in Santa Clara County is answerable to the Santa Clara County Board of Supervisor. So the pressue should also be on the 5 county supervisors. They can purge and clean house at the probation department. That will automaticly impact the recommendations being sent to all almost 100 judicial…
As you said, a big part of the problem is the Santa Clara County Probation Department that’s completely under the control of the elected Santa Clara County Board of Supervisor.
Darrio decapitated some random Sons of Harpies.
Having deal with the Stanford “type,” not to pick on Stanford grads specifics: He won’t be able to graduate Leland Stanford Junior University, he may have to settle for a degree from, San Jose State, or worse, Skyline College. That’s a fate worse than 10 years in prison for certain type of Stanford grads.
The policy I cited are also for internal consumption. And my point was that by 1930s, the target of internal propaganda was expanding along with the empire, since the definition of what’s consider Japanese expanded with it to some extend. If you read Japanese, there were the “内地延長主義/policy for the extension of…
This lady wasn’t eligible for Japanese citizenship until the law was changed in 1985. She ended up as a cabinet minister and currently a senator.
My more cynical view had always been that “the myth of the Japanese race was really an invention of late Meiji, Taisho, and early Showa Japan” just as Japan was on its way to became a multi-ethnic Empire and somehow, everyone is “Japanese.”
Having family members who fought for the multi-ethnic Empire of Japan, I would dispute that’s how Japanese officially characterized/justified its war efforts based on claim of superiority. The official rhetorical/propaganda had been “Same Language, Same Race” to Chinese, Korean, Manchurian, Taiwanese and others.…
Japan was never a single race as some like to pretend it to be. Kat’s 98% Yamato people includes people who were formerly considered distinctive from Yamato people: Emishi, Hayato, Azumi, Kumabito, etc. No to mention present day Okinawan and Ainu.
Santa Clara County Board of Supervisors.
He is under JRS II. He won’t be eligible to retire under JRS II. If he had been appointed/elected to bench before 1994-95, he would be in the original JRS, and barely able to retire with his age and length of services.
