It seems to me that Osaka Expo 2025 is almost a big failure and also Osaka Casino 2030 is going to be a big failure. They are wasting a lot of taxpayers' money. Most people don't care about such things.

agreed

AR semiautomatic rifle is necessary for ordinary people? That is a weapon for war. If so many people have such rifles, it seems to me war is going on in America.

Again! poor victims. Americans say he is innocent until he is convicted. So better bail him out.

No doubt the US military will send him home without any type of punishment like they did with the drunk driver who killed some kids near Mount Fuji.

Why try to protect such an idiot? He will be fired from the US military back in the US. I've heard such ex-soldiers committed same crimes again back home. He needs some kinda punishment to prevent another crime over there.

I don't think the US thinks Okinawa belongs to Japan. It is only in name like de Garcia island. If it were US territory, it would be subject to Congress oversight. Okinawa was given to Japan by the US but obviously the actions betray their thinking.

Why the US returned Okinawa to Japan? Because Japan pays a lot of money to the Okinawa US military. As a result, the US can keep military bases there ever. The US government thinks Okinawa US military bases are strategically important for the US and its national interest.

Besides, more Japanese police officers are indicted for the same charges than US servicemen so your “not sending their best” shtick is getting tiresome.

J police officers' crime is just another domestic matter. The US servicemen crime is a political matter. These soldiers are government officials (paid by own government) who must not commit crimes in the first place in foreign countries. Hence US military should recruit them very carefully.

Why do not US military recruit good persons? Bad ones usually have some kinda troubles in the past. Those idiots don't understand or don't care about the law.

His feet are also hands. Feet got evolved like hands. I know some like him can do more things than I thought and of course, they can use fork, spoon, etc for meal.

It looks like robots take all jobs from people someday. Unemployment rate would go up further.

Israel is killing more than 40,000 innocent people (children, women, medical doctors and nurses, etc) to protect its own country every day. Some G7 countries are supporting Israel. These countries should not be invited to the ceremony in the first place. Israel's tactics seems very insane to me.

Paul Watson is extradited to Japan and in jail for years. After that, he is extradited to Costa Rica as the red notice is still issued by its government.

Biden is a very good man but too old to be president again. He made a good decision.

It seems that J government pressured police not to disclose such crime cases as possible as they can.

I just wonder why secret service could not stop the sniper on the roof. It is not far away (rather near) from Trump. It looks like secret service did not secure around there.

America is a gun's country. It is a fate of America. The Republicans don't want strict gun control such as AR rifles for ordinary people. It would happen to any people in the future.

Idiots are everywhere. He lost his job. It's going to be very very hard to find new job.

So far , he is alleged to have "touched her ".

How deeply and long he touched her? No information about it. That's why they have trial.

Not guilty means you are not guilty. Why should one need forgiveness?

There is another story. A long time ago a boy killed a little girl in wood in America. He was sentenced "mercy" instead of guilty. There was clear evidence he killed her. But he was forgiven in trial but not innocent. Jurors must have thought about his future.

Crime is crime whatever. That's all about it, so he must go to jail for years. It seems such sex crimes are forgiven in America if not guilty

Not guilty means you are not guilty. Why should one need forgiveness?

He is not sentenced yet in trial. He will be guilty in the very near future. Don't worry!

Allegations have to be proved.

Until then there is a "presumption of innocence "

Living in the wrong country. This doesnt matter here!

Yes, this is more or less true. So better not commit crimes here. You can have wonderful days in Okinawa.

Kwatt....mate....you should NEVER sit on any jury

The victim can see his face and points to him even if she doesn't sit there.

@GruMick

I understand what you mean. Just wait and see... The guy is going to be guilty. Japanese police have a victim of the girl. She tells us everything about it in trial.

The percentage of these type of alleged crimes happen at a higher rate among the Japanese in Okinawa compared to US Forces and their affiliates.

As you see, all US personnels are sent to Japan as official guest. The US government sent them to Okinawa. These US personnels are not just another tourist or sightseer. These are officials of the United States of America. They must not commit crimes in the first place.

But certainly, there is no allegation of "rape " . ?

I don't think the guy was playing house for fun with the girl at that time.

Regardless of the location, should a “not guilty” person ever be condemned?

The idiot is going to be guilty sooner or later when the girl pointed to him in the trial.

Now they have to "prove" their case. 

The girl is going to point to him. He did it.

Crime is crime whatever. That's all about it, so he must go to jail for years. It seems such sex crimes are forgiven in America if not guilty.

I heard from TV news yesterday. The sea water is 20 - 24 Celsius. It seems not warm for many hours there.

She was very lucky. The very small swim ring usually can't be found in the very wide sea. Sailor(s) must have good watch.
