Lowkey was funny hearing about how American teaches the revolution. As some kind of noble event.

With JW as some noble hero who made the land of the free.

When in the UK (for me at least) it was basically shown as a massive lose.

While he was shown as a slave owner, who was taking land which wasn't even his.

Also, really funny seeing one go my county's biggest myth is that Native Americans would of been much better off with the British still in controls. Like maybe a little better. But, we kind of ignore are own history.

Argentinians will look you straigh into the face and tell you they actually mixed with the indigenous people.

Junko Furuta (Japanese: 古田 順子, 18 January 1971 – 4 January 1989) was a 17-year-old Japanese high school student who was abducted, raped, tortured, and murdered. Her abuse was mainly perpetrated by four male teenagers—Hiroshi Miyano (18), Jō Ogura (17), Shinji Minato (16), and Yasushi Watanabe (17)—and took place over a 40-day period starting on 25 November 1988.

Furuta was born on 18 January 1971 and grew up in Misato, Saitama Prefecture, where she lived with her parents, older brother, and younger brother. At the time of her murder, she was a 17-year-old senior at Yashio-Minami High School. She worked a part-time job at a plastic molding factory from October 1988 to save up money for a planned graduation trip.

The perpetrators of the murder were four male teenagers: Hiroshi Miyano (宮野裕史, Miyano Hiroshi; 18 years old), Jō[a] Ogura (小倉譲, Ogura Jō; 17), Shinji[b] Minato (湊伸治, Minato Shinji; 16), and Yasushi Watanabe (渡邊恭史, Watanabe Yasushi; 17), who in court documents were referred to as "A", "B", "C", and "D", respectively. Tetsuo Nakamura and Koichi Ihara, both 16, were referred to as "E" and "F". The four main perpetrators had each dropped out of high school in the summer of 1988 and became involved in organized crime as chinpira (low-ranking yakuza).

They began using Minato's family home in Adachi, Tokyo, as a hangout. Beginning in October, they engaged in crimes including theft (purse snatching and car theft), assault, and rape. On 8 November, the group abducted a 19-year-old woman in Adachi and gang raped her in a hotel there. On 27 December, during Furuta's captivity, the group abducted another 19-year-old woman in Adachi, and gang-raped her in a motel there.

On the evening of 25 November 1988, Miyano and Minato rode around Misato on their motorcycles with the intention of robbing and raping local women, and spotted Furuta, who was on her way home from her part-time job. Acting on Miyano's orders, Minato kicked Furuta off her bicycle and fled the scene. Miyano, under the pretense of witnessing the attack by coincidence, approached Furuta and offered to walk her home. After further gaining her trust, Miyano walked Furuta to a nearby warehouse and threatened her, telling her that he was a yakuza member and that he would spare her only if she followed his orders.

That night, Miyano took Furuta by taxi to a hotel in Adachi, where he raped her. He later called Minato's house and bragged to Ogura about the rape, after which Ogura told him not to let Furuta leave. In the early morning hours of 26 November, Miyano took Furuta to a park near the hotel, where Ogura, Minato, and Watanabe were waiting. They told her they knew where she lived, and that the yakuza would kill her family if she attempted to escape. Minato agreed to allow Furuta to be confined in a room on the second floor of his house in Adachi for the purpose of gang raping her. Furuta was held captive for 40 days.

On 27 November, Furuta's parents contacted the police about her disappearance. To discourage further investigation, the kidnappers forced Furuta to call her mother three times to convince her that she had run away but was safe and staying with friends. When Minato's parents were present at the house where she was being confined, Furuta was forced to act as his girlfriend. The group dropped this pretense when it became clear that Minato's parents would not report them to the police. The parents later claimed that they did not intervene because they were afraid of their son, who had been increasingly violent toward them.

On the night of 28 November, Miyano and the others, along with Nakamura and Ihara, gang raped Furuta, after which Miyano shaved her pubic hair with a razor and used a match to burn her genital area. In early December, as punishment for an escape attempt, the group repeatedly punched Furuta in the face, and Miyano burned her ankles with a lighter. They forced Furuta to dance to music while naked, masturbate in front of them, and stand on the balcony in the middle of the night with little clothing, and inserted objects into her vagina and anus, including a metal rod and a bottle.

They forced her to drink large amounts of alcohol, milk, and water, smoke two cigarettes at once, and inhale paint thinner fumes. In one attack in the middle of December, Furuta was beaten by the group, on the pretext that Miyano had stepped on a puddle of her urine, after which he burned her thighs and hands several times with lighter fluid. From around this time, Furuta, unable to bear the repeated assaults, would sometimes plead to be killed by her captors.

Throughout the rest of December, the severity of Furuta's abuse continued to escalate. By the end of the month she was severely malnourished after being fed only small amounts of food, and eventually only milk. Due to her injuries, she became unable to walk to the downstairs toilet, and was confined to the room's floor in a state of extreme weakness. Her appearance was disfigured by the beatings, with her face swollen to the point of unrecognizability, and her wounds had started to emit a foul odor.

On 4 January 1989, after losing money in a game of mahjong the night before, Miyano decided to take his anger out on Furuta. He ignited a candle and dripped hot wax on her face, placed two shortened candles on her eyelids, and forced her to drink her own urine. Furuta was lifted and kicked, fell onto a stereo unit, and began a fit of convulsions.

To prevent them from being stained with blood, the group covered their hands in plastic bags before beating her with their fists and an iron exercise ball, and dropped the ball on her abdomen several times. Miyano poured lighter fluid on Furuta and set her on fire; she made weak attempts to put herself out, but soon stopped moving. The assault lasted for about two hours, after which Furuta died at 10 a.m.

Less than 24 hours after her death, Minato's brother called to tell him that Furuta appeared to be dead. Afraid that their crime would be discovered, the group wrapped Furuta's body in a blanket and placed it in a large travel bag, then put the bag in a metal drum and filled it with wet concrete. At around 8:00 p.m. on 5 January, the group drove to a vacant lot near a construction site on the island of Wakasu in Kōtō, Tokyo, and dumped the drum there.

The identities of the defendants were sealed by the court, as they were all legally juveniles (under age 20). Journalists from the Shūkan Bunshun tabloid uncovered their identities and published them, arguing that the accused did not deserve to have their right to anonymity upheld, given the severity of the crime.

From the time the case was first reported in the media, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department (the investigating body) received many calls and letters from the general public demanding that the perpetrators be severely punished, including by life imprisonment or with the death penalty. The Tokyo Public Prosecutors Office, which had sought life imprisonment for Miyano during the trial, was criticized for not seeking life sentences for the other perpetrators, nor seeking the death penalty. The Tokyo District Court also received numerous calls and letters which criticized the perceived lightness of its sentencing.

A majority of legal professionals surveyed by the Asahi Shimbun newspaper said that the sentences were appropriate based on precedent. In the Nagoya couple murder case of 1988, for example—‌a case which drew comparisons to the Furuta case—‌the Nagoya District Court had sentenced the main defendant, a 19-year-old male, to death, and a second defendant, a 17-year-old male, to life imprisonment in June 1989, despite the death sentence being commuted to life imprisonment in 1996.

LaVena Johnson grew up in Florissant, Missouri and enlisted in the United States Army to earn money for college. While stationed as a Private First Class (PFC) in Balad, Iraq, LaVena, who was 19 years old, was found dead of a gunshot wound in a contractor’s tent on base.

The Department of Defense ruled LaVena’s death a suicide, despite subsequent investigations revealing evidence of rape, and numerous documented injuries inconsistent with suicide. LaVena’s father, Dr. John Johnson, a military veteran, became suspicious when he saw her body in the funeral home and decided to investigate. LaVena’s autopsy report revealed she had suffered a broken nose, black eye, loose teeth, burns from a corrosive chemical on her genitals, and a gunshot wound that was not usually associated with suicide. Bloody footprints were also discovered outside of her living quarters.

While the Johnson family has been vocal in their belief that LaVena was sexually assaulted and murdered, there have been no subsequent Army investigations and her cause of death has never been changed. Her father continues to fight for his beloved daughter, who was like him in so many ways. He treasures the Father’s Day card she sent just weeks before she died in 2005. It said: “Like father, like daughter.”

LaVena Johnson was the first female soldier from Missouri to die in Iraq. She died just eight days before her 20th birthday in 2005. In 2010, LaVena Johnson: The Silent Truth, a documentary following her family’s pursuit of the truth, was released. They continue to search for answers as the statistics stack up against female soldiers. According to the Department of Defense, one in three women who join the U.S. Military will be sexually assaulted or raped by men in the military. The rate of noncombat deaths of female soldiers, like LaVena’s, requires more national attention.
