Crappy Halloween

On October 17, 1992 -- Yoshihiro "Yoshi' Hattori, a Japanese exchange student living with a host family in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, headed to his first Halloween party. However, instead of revelling in ghosts, goblins and other spooky things -- the horror turned real when Yoshi accidentally went to the wrong address. You won't believe the turn of events that unfolded making this Halloween a living Helloween. Besides being a tragic 'slaycation' -- this case, which sparked international outrage, calls into question everything from race, to what constitutes self-defense, to common sense gun laws -- issues which still reverberate throughout the USA over thirty years later.
