Re: The Assassination Of Japanese Socialist Party Leader Inejiro Asanuma With A Tantō
<object style="height: 390px; width: 640px"> I'm not entirely sure how this goes, the whole submitting thing, but I'm going to have a shot at it. My favorite submitters are Firefly and Chris, there are others I like too. Anyway here's a statement from wikipedia: Inejiro Asanuma (浅沼 稲次郎 Asanuma Inejirō, December 27, 1898 - October 12, 1960) was a Japanese politician, and head of the Japanese Socialist Party. Asanuma was noted for speaking publicly about Socialism and economic and cultural opportunities. His left-wing positions and criticism of the United States were not welcomed by conservatives. Asanuma was assassinated by 17-year-old Otoya Yamaguchi, an extreme rightist, at a televised rally for the upcoming Lower-house election. Yamaguchi rushed and fatally stabbed Asanuma, and was subdued moments later. The entire incident was captured on camera. [edit] Private life and public perception Inejiro Asanuma's mother died during his birth, leaving him to be raised by his father, who later died at the age of 42 of cancer. He was known for his gentle heart and frugal lifestyle, living in a small apartment with his family. He was given nicknames meaning "speech-making farmer" and "human locomotive" because of his huge body, loud voice and energetic manner of speaking. However, his genuine and natural personality won him great popularity among workers and grassroots. The nation was shocked to see him assassinated and national demonstrations and protests followed. With his death, the Japanese Socialist Party further divided between politicians on the left and right. <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/D4KROpdUkrM?version=3"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/D4KROpdUkrM?version=3" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390"></object> I do have a question as to where everyone else finds the death videos, because I can almost never find them online, this assassination video was probably one of the first real ones I've ever found and it's on youtube, thus I thought to upload it for you guys, since I wasn't sure if it was up or not...My question, where are you guys finding the videos? Cause as I said, I can't ever find any of the good ones...such as the politician, Budd, I don't think youtube would have that... If anyone's got a better one of Asanuma, post a link or something, it'd be cool. Edit: I just realized this was a repost, and by some ironic twist, it was none other than firefly who posted the video first, can't say I'm surprised that he uploaded it before I did though! ^_^. Unfortunately...I can't delete this... |

DAMN I knew I should have searched before I posted...heh, go figure firefly's the one that uploaded it first too. I'm going to delete mine, since it's a repost only a month afterwards, sorry fire. You're my favorite uploader man! *edit* And I can't delete my already created thread...-_- |

Re: The Assassination Of Japanese Socialist Party Leader Inejiro Asanuma With A Tantō
eh i guess wiki said wakizashi Less than three weeks after the assassination, while being held in a juvenile detention facility, Yamaguchi mixed a small amount of tooth paste with water and wrote on his cell wall, "Seven lives for my country. Ten thousand years for His Imperial Majesty, the Emperor!" Yamaguchi then knotted strips of his bedsheet into a makeshift rope and used it to hang himself from a light fixture. interesting, |
