...on this situation which is somewhere near where I live, though I'm not clear on the specific location. Lots of little tidbits. Basically some Vietnamese boat people who were at some point incarcerated for other crimes have been in detention for over two years because Vietnam won't take them back (they don't want to go) and Japan won't grant them visas. What to do? Do I want the murderer released to my neighborhood? No. Do I want them to be sent back to Vietnam against their will. No. Should they be confined? Probably no although 8 years does seem a bit short for murder, but if they've legally served their time, I don't know.

Quite a mess. Last year one committed sucide, another tried yesterday, and 23 are on a hunger strike. And I'm worried about my idiotic class status. Oh shoot, that reminds me I missed the Amnesty meeting yesterday for the fifth time this year, and I really could have gone. Drat. I better go fill out some petitions or something.
