"No No"s like Ichiro were sent to Tule Lake.
Tule Lake was a maximum security camp with armed sentries ready to shoot,
observing the incarcerated with suspicion.
Shoichi James Okamoto was one of the 18,700 incarcerated at Tule Lake.
On May 24th, 1944,
Okamoto, while driving a construction truck back and forth between the camp
and the worksite outside the camp, was stopped by a center-gate sentry
demanding that Okamoto step out of his truck and show his pass.
Okamoto stepped out of the cab but refused to show his pass,
whereupon the sentry struck him on the shoulder with his rifle
the two exchanged words, and the sentry shot Okamoto.
The next day, he died.
He was 30 years old.
At the court-martial trial, the sentry was acquitted of the homicide
and only charged one dollar for the cost of the bullet.
