Drunken U.S. marine arrested for violence in Okinawa

Okinawa police on August 7 arrested a U.S.Marine corporal stationed at U.S. Camp Hansen, on suspicion of using violence against two Indian men at a beer festival held in Okinawa City.

The suspect, being drunken at the time of the arrest, is reported to have denied the accusation, saying, "I just pushed, but never hit them." (haha ridiculous!)

According to the police, he struck two Indian salesclerks several times on the head with his empty hands near the entrance. Their friends immediately informed the police booth of the violence, and he was caught red-handed. The incident was said to have been caused by the marine playing a trick on one of the men who was holding a doll to be given as a premium at the festival. (end)

It's ridiculous...

Thanks for posting these articles.

Plenty more where that came from... Check back at japan chat during the coming days for my regular articles about american brutality against japanese people these days and my regular rants.

Why are U.S forces in Japan?

We have bases there in Japan after World War II... Apparently, Japan gained independence, and the US left for other wars, but we've still got some bases there... That's what I learned...

Shows how much I hate the US Military...
------------------------------------
But isn't the Japanese police out of control with foreigners who accidentally stay longer than their visa (one or five days more). They arrested them and then banished them for five years...

Oh, Whois paying for the U.S millitary in Japan?

Stop complaining considering far worst things your people has committed against Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese and South East Asians.

Incorrect japan has no independence. Trust me you do not hate them as much as I. What I have is indeed hate.





No they are still enough. However the americans force japan to hand over any criminal soldiers back to the americans until prosecution.



I will complain as much as I wish at the american oppression. If you do not like dont fu-king read it. It is a simple as that.

This is what you get for your people's war crimes and crimes against humanity. SO SHUT UP.

This is what you get for your people's war crimes and crimes against humanity.
